Welcome to the season two finale! I dunno if you've realized, but all of society gaslights trans people about the very nature of our existence. It's bad actually! We're gonna talk about how exactly that happens, and the effect that can have on a person who's absorbed it for an entire lifetime. Social worker Charlie Hutchinson returns to discuss reconstructing oppression into joy and victory! Let's also talk about... the compulsory heterosexuality of dishwashing gloves?!
CONTENT WARNING: this episode includes a frank discussion of trauma, including suicidal ideation and hate crimes.
Trans Tuesdays will return in mid-January 2025!

Trans Trauma 1: That Old Dysphoric Feeling
Tuesday, December 10, 2024 ⢠Duration
When you spend most of your life with gender dysphoria, even after it dissipates or disappears entirely, you can find it affecting your life in all kinds of little ways you never expected. We talk about how and why this happens, how it just might be PTSD, and how we can cope with it. Social worker Charlie Hutchinson joins us to discuss how our body remembers the score.

Photos 3: Tilly's Guide to Selfies
Tuesday, December 3, 2024 ⢠Duration
You asked for it, you demanded it, and that's really not fair for I am but a smol bean. Nevertheless, it's finally here... my tips for getting good selfies! We're gonna talk about cameras and lighting and lenses and angles and how cameras both lie and tell the truth at the exact same time. Maybe you'll get some fire selfies out of it! Artist and scholar Errata returns to discuss the importance of visibility and what we owe to those who come after. "Disregard the haters!"

Photos 2: The Selfie Apocalypse

What's it like when you go your whole life never seeing yourself in photos... and suddenly that changes, and you see yourself? All the time? Follow along in real-time as it blows my mind and I try to figure out exactly what the heck is happening. Artist and scholar Errata returns to discuss offering yourself grace! I have a bumpy head.

Trans Politics 2: You Must Vote to Protect Us
Tuesday, October 29, 2024 ⢠Duration
Part 2 of our dive into politics, and there's two big asks for cis people who truly want to help. But this might get uncomfortable, because we're going to talk about the way our political system operates in the United States, and that means realizing you can't wait for perfection or moral purity. Trans lives are on the line (as are so many others), and we must protect each other as best we can. And that sometimes means voting for someone you may not like. Pinole City Treasurer candidate Rafael Menis returns to discuss environmental social governance and how the recognition of rights should be automatic! Don't. Abdicate. Your. Responsibility.

Trans Politics 1: Stop Tolerating Transphobia
Tuesday, October 22, 2024 ⢠Duration
This week we dive into a two-part discussion on politics as it relates to transness, and this week is all about the ways people directly or indirectly support and condone transphobia. And how, if you do that, you are not in fact my friend or an ally to trans people. We'll look at two painful examples from my own life to illustrate the harm many cis people perpetuate, sometimes without even realizing it. Pinole City Treasurer candidate Rafael Menis joins us to discuss the rotation of power! Who wants to drink from the firehose of bigotry?

It's the penultimate Tillyvision installment of our "I Saw the TV Glow" trans allegory discussion! Trasnphobia's attacking with everything it has, and it just might be the end of us. But sometimes ends can be new beginnings, if we have the courage to take that step... and a hand to help us out of the darkness. Lilah Sturges returns to discuss the trans industrial complex (we all work for Big Trans!). I don't hide my truth* from the world!
