Femme Trans Noire | Podcast

So... I was in a conversation with "soft, respectable, demure" trans women who believe us ratchet ones should embrace right wing talking points. Maybe if we weren't so trans, maybe if we caged our identities, trans women wouldn't suffer such abuse. Basically, there's transphobic violence because we essentially asked for it. You know them people. Let's talk about them. But...

We have all met the internet allies, who really just want to be comforted and go on with their day, still being problematic everywhere they go. But there are also "true" allies who mess up and make it worse for the cause. Let's discuss all of them today.   SUPPORT The podcast is recorded and edited by me, your host Lily.

If there is something that bigots and transphobic right-wingers are good at, it's reframing conversations in the most harmful ways. Today, we're talking about that technique and why it is very important not to fall pray to it. Naturally, we will have to mention the "bathroom bills", laws on gender affirming care for transgender kids, trans people in sports and LGBT topics in scho...

In this episode, we are talking about passing. We will be quickly exploring the privileges it affords and some of the expectations too. But we are also looking at how passing and respectability politics sometimes play together. And how desirability affects all of that dynamic. Come, join me! What are your thoughts? Let’s keep the conversation going.   SUPPORT The podcast is recorded and edite...

Today we are coming for cis people. Well, not really. I have nothing against cis people. Some of my best friends are cis. Actually, I don’t see gender. 😏   Okay, seriously… We are talking about the strange arguments some transphobes use to denounce the term cis and treat it as an unfair label that seemingly takes away from their identity as what they consider to be “real” men and women. &nbs...

I wanted to start this podcast with a topic that is constantly being brought up as a way for internet transphobes to congregate and commiserate about the vicious threat of trans women tricking them… I’m talking about disclosure.   Come listen to this. We'll cover what disclosure can look like and how it's not really the main factor in contentious relationships with cishet men. Rather, it's th...
