Trans people (and the LGBTQ community at large) are blamed a LOT for "indoctrinating the kids," but today, we're going to look at who is ACTUALLY doing the indoctrination, what it entails, the methods they use, and the overall purpose of doing so.

Talarico (TX) and several other key Democrats running in the midterms this election have been wishy-washy at best, and outright transphobic at worst, but in any case, trans people are the topic of political conversation YET AGAIN! Instead of talking about the economy, rising prices, the ongoing war, AI, the climate apocalypse, increasing violence against marginalized people, ICE violence in our st...

We've talked a lot about trans people and how hormones affect us... but what about CIS people? Men who take testosterone supplements or injections outside of a doctor's recommendations MAY in fact be unknowingly feminizing themselves!

It turns out, men ARE invading women's sports... but not in the way that you think. Recently, two men who have been accused of DV and other forms of abuse against women have declared themselves eligible to be drafted by the WNBA in the upcoming season... and while the nefarious purpose behind this may not be immediately clear, we dove into the potential cause and ramifications of their declaration...

With the recent Drew Afualo discourse and the general upwards trend of transphobia and transmisogyny spreading across the internet, we decided to take it upon ourselves to actually explain the DIFFERENCE between a transphobe and a TERF--and there IS a big one.

Laura recently met a man who felt "duped" by MAGA after voting for them. She took it upon herself to do some damage control and help him deconstruct his beliefs. This is her story, along with our conversation about whether or not we think YOU should be helping ex-MAGA / Trump voters unlearn their ideology (which definitely depends on whether you're cishet and/or White). EVERYONE who signs up to ou...

When you're raised in a patriarchy, it's easy to struggle with femininity and womanhood, because misogyny is all around us. Trans women experience a very specific type called transmisogyny, which is an intersection of misogyny and transphobia. In this episode, Chloe breaks down a number of terrifying experiences with transmisogyny and how it impacts her day-to-day life, both in reality and online....

Did you know there are transgender animals? Transsexual plants? The variety of (natural) sexual and gender differences in nature go so far beyond what we previously understood, and we're learning more every day. From mice that completely change sex to trees that change gender from season to season, and how climate change is playing a role in this (no, seriously), check out this episode! Follow us...

When you're raised in a patriarchy, it's easy to struggle with femininity and womanhood, because misogyny is all around us. Trans women and cis women alike are raised in this misogynistic world, but it affects us slightly differently, especially before and after transition. Today we're talking about our own personal experiences with misogyny, how it affected us, and which parts we had to unlearn f...

What if trans people have ALWAYS been here? Such is the case with Mademoiselle Chevalier d'Eon, a French noble and SPY who personally negotiated the end of the Seven Years War, snuck into Russia by passing herself off as a woman, and ended up a political enemy of the state for revealing French secrets to England... only to make her gender EVERYONE'S business by blackmailing the King of France unti...

Discovering that you're trans is a long, complicated, confusing process. Chloe was aware that something was... different... about her when she was in kindergarten, but growing up Catholic, being transgender isn't something that's spoken of or allowed. So the process of getting to know yourself takes time. And when you finally come out as transgender, and a trans woman, in the year 2020, mid-quaran...

When you're a transgender woman who has no idea that you're trans, you end up trying a lot of things to fit into your assigned gender. When everyone tells you you're a man, but they also tell you that you're TERRIBLE at being a man, you feel the need to be around masculinity in an attempt to learn how to emulate it. Chloe's attempt: join a fraternity and try to gain knowledge of how men behave by...

When you learn you're bisexual at age 5, especially in a homophobic world, people impose a very particular brand on comp-het on you. When you're with women, they act like it isn't real. When you're with men, they act like you've "finally figured it out." And when your parents refuse to acknowledge a full HALF of your identity, it can lead to a lot of problems. This is Laura's story of coming out.....

Ashley St Clair was a conservative, MAGA influencer who got her start at age 17. She was funneled through the alt-right incubator, spewing hatred across the internet (transphobic, racist, nationalist rhetoric) until she finally had her second baby with Elon Musk. After exposure to him and witnessing his increasing radicalization and harm (after after he turned on HER), she left the movement and ha...

There is a prevalent belief in TERF and "gender critical" circles, and a narrative being pushed by right-wing grifters and people with ulterior motives, that being trans causes people to be MORE VIOLENT than all other demographics of people. It's something Blaire White, Joe Rogan, JK Rowling, and basically every trans-hating person have been pushing ever since the Charlie Kirk shooting. So we're h...

Blaire White is a prominent transgender influencer who also happens to be Gender Critical and TERFy... she spews anti-trans rhetoric and makes content bullying other trans women for their appearance, while also being racist, conservative, MAGA, and being a token trans person for the Right to weaponize. But... Why?? How did she become this way? Where did she start? Who is funding her? What did she...

There is a prevalent belief in TERF and "gender critical" circles, and a narrative being pushed by right-wing grifters and people with ulterior motives, that being trans is merely a "cult ideology" that is a result of propaganda and lies being taught to kids at school and then rapidly spreading as a social contagion online. We're breaking down the "cult" idea, as well as the pseudoscientific ideas...

The biphobia discourse has reared its ugly head again! Who is to blame? Is it the lesbian community, like the Queer Collective podcast recently asserted? Or is the whole thing, like most queer "discourse", a government psy-op to get us to hate each other?

Cis people -- mainly the transphobic ones , but some "allies" as well -- are often fed propaganda about trans people & how transition works, so we wanted to set the record straight! In this PART TWO of our "what cis people & transphobes don't understand about transition and trans people" episode, we explain why people misunderstand so much about the process!

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is one of the MOST crucial and LEAST understood aspects of transition. Most TERFy people don't even seem to know or understand THAT we (trans people) take hormones, let alone what they DO to our bodies and our minds. They insist that we're "men wearing a dress & makeup" while completely overlooking the RADICAL changes that our bodies undergo due to feminizing...

Cis people -- mainly the transphobic ones (some "allies" as well) -- are often fed propaganda about trans people and how transition works, so we wanted to set the record straight (gay). We explain a number of misconceptions about transition and the early life of trans people, health discrimination, the weird "oppression olympics" game that people play, why it's so hard for people to wrap their hea...

TERFs love to say that Trans Women can't be "real women" because they were "socialized as men," or "experienced male privilege," so we're here to explore how socialization plays into gender and self-identity and whether or not it plays any role in the way that trans women exist!

KOSA, or the Kids Online Safety Act, is a secret, nefarious conservative plot to hand the government the power to CENSOR any content they deem to be "dangerous" to children. As we all know, that includes anything LGBTQIA2S+, and the Heritage Foundation has ALREADY stated that they will also use this bill, if it passes, to BLOCK information about birth control / reproductive health information.
