Czech Hunter Schafer is the anonymous voice behind one of the most unapologetically honest, and hilarious, meme accounts on the internet.

With a following built on sharp wit, cultural commentary and zero filter, CHS has carved out a space that refuses to sanitise the trans experience for mainstream comfort. Her viral content — from memes about trans healthcare to observations about DL guys and the realities of navigating the world as a trans woman — has resonated with millions, making her a defining voice for a generation that's done playing respectful.

Beyond the memes, CHS is a fierce advocate for trans rights, community solidarity and finding power in humour even when your existence is politicised.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Czech Hunter Schafer dive into the formative moment that changed everything for CHS, and led to the realisation that she was a trans woman.

They discuss the importance of meeting trans people in real life versus online spaces, reclaiming slurs within the community, and why the discourse around being "trans enough" is toxic.

The conversation touches on the origins of her account name, creating content that feels authentic versus curated, navigating censorship on social media and why passing culture is exhausting. CHS also shares where she truly finds her power — spoiler: it's in the dolls and the trans community.

You might recognise her from series such as Bridgerton, or acclaimed films such as Wicked Little Letters. Bessie Carter is an actress, producer and a creative force.

The daughter of acclaimed actors – and once-in-a-generation talents Jim Carter and Imelda Staunton – Bessie has carved out her own path in the industry, not just as a performer, but as a producer determined to tell stories on her own terms.

Beyond her work on screen, Bessie is a passionate advocate for questioning the status quo, whether that's challenging societal expectations around femininity or interrogating the alcohol industry.

On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Bessie dive into the formative moments that have made Bessie who she is today – including the school experience where she realised her wings were being clipped, and the pressure on young girls to be “polished corners of the temple”.

Bimini and Bessie talk about the importance of questioning systems that don't serve us, they call out the normalisation of alcohol in culture and the power of living with intention. Bessie also shares her journey with ADHD, the link between substance use and undiagnosed conditions, and where she truly finds her power.

In this solo episode of The Pieces, Bimini is taking to the microphone to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time: how algorithms, outrage culture and social media are reshaping our capacity for empathy and connection.

Fresh from the Attitude 101 launch celebrating trailblazers - including Bimini's manager Simon Jones - and inspired by Green Party co-leader Zack Polanski's impassioned speech about real political change, Bimini reflects on why we're living in such a divisive time.

This episode dives deep into why online anger dominates algorithms, how platforms profit from outrage and why negativity spreads faster than kindness. Bimini unpacks the role of media in framing debates as binary conflicts, the danger of judging entire human beings from 30-second clips and how compassion fatigue is eroding our ability to see nuance.

The conversation explores binary thinking culture — you're either this or that, with no room for complexity — and the exhaustion faced by marginalised communities who are forced to constantly defend their right to exist. Bimini asks the critical question: who actually benefits from moral outrage online? The answer? You'll have to listen to find out.
