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. It'...

The FIFA World Cup is going on now across North America! There aren't any transgender footballers currently playing in the tournament, but there have been several trans athletes who have competed or played in the playoffs to be included in FIFA! You may not know their names, but Kumi Yokoyama, Quinn, and Jaiyah Saelua are the three trans soccer players we're covering today. Follow us on Patreon! h...

Sex Worker Exclusionary-- and Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists believe they're helping the cause by limiting the rights of other specific subgroups of women, but they're actually participating in a deep-seated form of misogyny that was invented by the patriarchy to prevent women from expressing themselves or achieving financial independence on their own! By limiting the rights of other women,...

A combination of transgender minors and trans adults are SUING the Department of Justice for their unethical and illegal DEMAND for the families' private medical records on the basis that gender-affirming care should not be private. The lawsuit cites illegal search and seizure and overreach, as well as other factors. Follow us on Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/cw/LadyandTheTransPodcast 😍 Anti-T...

A big question on our minds as we attempt to resist and overthrow fascism is always... "should we use the tools of the enemy while fighting them"?? One of those weapons that they wield so proudly is "outing" closeted queer people to endanger our lives and get us ostracized from our communities. So the question on our minds is... do we fight fire with fire? Should we be "outing" the anti-LGBTQIA2S+...

Last week, we covered the history of the invention of hormones as medication and the long and difficult history of getting trans people the treatment they need. This week, we dive into the most recent change in the story: WHEN and WHY did we start giving hormones to trans kids?? Who were the pioneers of the treatment, and how has almost the entire world gotten on board with it so (seemingly) quick...

Why are hormones considered medication, and when did we start giving it to trans people? When did we start administering hormones to CIS people? Who were the thinkers who originally researched trans people, and why was the early research burned and destroyed? Why are there so few older trans people? Why were the guidelines for transition SO strict in the 1900s? How did doctors take advantage of th...

How does one go from popular, inoffensive lesbian YouTuber to radical MAGA TERF?? Arielle Scarcella got her start making queer content, promoting *almost* every letter in the LGBTQIA2S+ community... so what went wrong? Why does she spend her days making ragebait content, bullying people at pride, and becoming STAUNCHLY "LGB without the T"?? Laura got curious, and decided to dive deep into the arch...

As a followup to our "We used to be transphobic" episodes, we decided to dive deeper into some of the most pervasive and common transphobic beliefs that far too many people still hold. This is part two, where we cover all the beliefs we didn't cover in Part 1. Also--in the episode we technically only count up to 13, but that's because we bunched some together in the first part and forgot to count...

As a followup to our "We used to be transphobic" episodes, we decided to dive deeper into some of the most pervasive and common transphobic beliefs that far too many people still hold. We cover several of them here, with the rest to follow next week in part 2. We talk about what the beliefs are, where they come from, how we personally unlearned them, and how you can do the same--or, how to talk to...

After a four year hiatus and being quasi-cancelled due to the fame of the actors and wild behind-the-scenes drama between the cast and creator of the show... EUPHORIA IS BACK! In this episode, Chloe ('The MMM Euphoria Podcast' + 'Skye & Stone do Euphoria') & Laura discuss the SEASON PREMIERE of the third season of the show. What worked? What didn't? Is the season worth the wait? Is it goin...

It's never an easy decision to go No Contact with family. Usually, there are a thousand tiny things that happen before the final straw pushes you over the edge: one final overstepped boundary, one last diminishment of your feelings... and the fallout can be emotionally and/or financially devastating. But sometimes, there is a positive other side to the decision. Today, Chloe walks you through her...

There's not a LOT of good news these days, so when something good happens, we like to take a pause and acknowledge it. Despite the MANY efforts to ban the existence of trans people or punish us for transitioning or punish anyone who is willing to love, support, or accept us in any way... there are many people who stand AGAINST those people, and they are effectively the only thing we have right now...

Around the summer of 2000, the name "Karen" became synonymous with a very specific type of woman... But why is that type of woman the way that she is? Laura got curious and decided to do some research on the psychology of Karens, which led her down rabbit holes of American history, into the dark minds of racists, cops, and conservatives, to uncover the root of the hatred we've all come to know and...

Last time we told you about how Chloe used to be a *phobe... but today, LAURA breaks down how she started on her 'from phobia to ally' journey. From an early age of confusion, up to unlearning and realizing she's treated her friends badly... how did she learn she'd been wrong? What steps did she make to correct her errors? And what can we ALL learn from the process? Subscribe to get ALL of our vid...

Chloe might be an actual trans person now… but she USED to be a massive *phobe! How did she unlearn her phobia and realize the person she was inside? What societal pressures kept her hiding, or unaware of the truth? And what finally pushed her over the edge into coming out and living loud and proud? That full story today. Next time, Laura tells HER story of unlearning her transphobia, how having t...

People (mostly men) LOVE to say "just face it, women could never compete with men, it's just facts" ...but is that true? Or have we been fed misinformation for literal centuries? In this episode, we continue our tale about the centuries-long FIGHT for Women's equality in sports. This episode picks up in 1896, just at the dawn of the return of the Olympics (after a 1500 year period without them), a...

Have women ALWAYS been less athletic than men? Or could there be an explanation as to why that's the case? (Maybe something to do with PATRIARCHY?!) In this episode, we break down the history of women's inclusion in sports, going alllll the way back to ancient times, including ancient Rome, Indigenous cultures, BCE China, and more, chronicling the PURPOSE of sporting throughout history, when women...
