Jolene's streak of "trans women whose lives were touched by evangelical Christianity" continues, as she's joined by Aurora for a conversation about: "Did you know they make bikinis for boys?"

Jolene is joined by Rowan to talk about their life! Listen in for stories of: recreational testosterone use, teen tinder in Maine, lesbianism as a gender, serially favorite personing girls, and more.

It'll be here, I...

Jolene is joined by Henny, to discuss their life! Featuring: erotic roleplay on deviantart, Loveless discussion (yes, the BL with the cat ears thing), lots of theater metaphors, some poker metaphors, a lot of fun theorizing about gender and relationships and reflexive genders and so on. It's a classic episode set up. Enjoy. The intro and outro music is by Lynn July. You can listen to more of h...

Jolene is joined by Ariel to discuss her transition. Included are: gender in between Anglo-American, Latina, and Jewish spaces, transitioning to non-binary leatherman, transitioning to a trans woman who is still sort of a leatherman, capoiera, a frankly weird amount of bisexual erasure, the pansexual kink scene, Japanese rope bondage, getting really theoretical about Japanese rope bondage, and mor...

Content warning for some light discussion of IV...

Jolene is joined by a nameless guest to discuss what it means to have a butch soul, crying to Jim and Pam fancams, being so monogamous you're unable to conceptualize attraction to someone besides your partner, borrowing moves men have used on you to use on women, and convincing your mom to read Allison Bechdel when you're 12, and then being confused when she asks if you're gay. Also: J...

Jolene is joined by Noah for a classic tale of intellectualizing your transition to death. Strap in for a tale that takes us through: the Social Network Fandom; junior college; convincing a now cancelled alt-lit poet to disavow manhood; Jolene realizing in real time the effect that adderall usage had on her thought patterns; and most importantly: the radical feminist to trans guy pipeline. The int...

Jolene is joined by Cordelia Belton (@cozyunoist) to talk about Mary Beth Mader's Sleights of Reason, and some more stuff. This is a rough attempt at a thesis statement for the show. Sort of.

Jolene is joined by Mikaele for a conversation that pushes on a lot of strange buttons around the questions of transitions. I think this episode is really illustrative of what Sedgwick called the "universalizing" approach to sexual questions, as contrary the "minoritizing" approach. In other words: how do transitions affect everyone, not just those who would simply call themselves trans? It's a fu...
