    Discriminatory Bureaucracy
    Apr 14 2026
    It's more than bad enough when bigots try to legislate trans people out of existence, but that's not all we have to deal with. So much of the world is set up by and for cis people, and isn't even made to acknowledge that trans people exist. Let's discuss what happens when we run into those systems, and the problems it can cause. Comic writer and musician Magdalene Visaggio joins us to discuss super mullets and writing your way to transition!

  • No Escape 2: Some Escape (due to cis allyship)

    No Escape 2: Some Escape (due to cis allyship)
    Apr 7 2026
    We've talked about how difficult it can be for trans people to escape the way society others us and constantly reminds us of our transness. This week we take it a step further and look at a legitimately dehumanizing situation I went through, and how one true cis accomplice turned everything around by standing up for me. Author Alex Ritany returns to discuss being a forever DM and soupy gender identities!

    Mar 24 2026
    James Gunn's Superman film is, perhaps, the most quietly trans-affirming superhero movie ever made.

    Feb 24 2026
    We continue our examination of complete seasons of tv I saw in 2025, with some good rep, some decidedly *weird* "rep", and one show that's so tropey it's really harmful.
