But this might get uncomfortable, because we're going to talk about the way our political system operates in the United States, and that means realizing you can't wait for perfection or moral purity. Trans lives are on the line (as are so many others), and we must protect each other as best we can. And that sometimes means voting for someone you may not like.

And how, if you do that, you are not in fact my friend or an ally to trans people. We'll look at two painful examples from my own life to illustrate the harm many cis people perpetuate, sometimes without even realizing it.

Are you fired up to learn about trans people in history? Good, because we need that fire to push back against prevailing thought in a field that doesn't know how to spot us, doesn't want to spot us, refuses to name us, and actively worked to hide our existence. So let's dive right in to talking about how we name trans people in history, and why it's absolutely vital for us to do so to combat cissexism. PhD student in history (sexual diversity studies) Nico Mara-McKay joins us to discuss cultural shifts and how transitioning is a fraught concept!

Why do you stare at us? I mean, I think I know why, and so do you. And you have to know how rude it is. So then why do you do it anyway? Let's talk about just how often it happens, the ludicrous lengths you will go to in order to keep staring at us, and how incredibly insulting it is when we already do SO much just to get you to leave us alone. Geeky ttrpg-er Kristine Chester returns to discuss inspiring each other and waiting for the Vulcans. She's making history and setting precedents! And hey... if your words are bad, change them.

And so you can't understand why anyone would ever want to make any changes to their bodies, and goodness did that all change for me after transition. And my tattoo is one hundred percent wrapped up in my transition, and we're gonna talk about why. And if you didn't already know, abortion rights and trans rights are the exact same fight.

But that means for many cis people out there, if you know a trans person, they're probably the only trans person you know. They're probably the only trans person a LOT of people know. Which means we're constantly getting bombarded with questions (or worse) about our existence from all sides, and the cumulative effect of that can be a problem.

So I wanted to write about it, but what I didn't realize is that what I was really writing about is the past and why it's so complicated for people who transition as adults. And what happens when we can get a glimpse of... a new past? A world that was perhaps more kind to us?

This week's topic is actually two topics that are intrinsically related, both easy to understand but sometimes difficult to talk about. "Sir" and "miss" can be heavily loaded words, in ways both good and bad. But whenever misgendering happens, remember it's about the people misgendering you and not about YOU.

It's something trans people who transition as adults, after one or more of their parents has passed, have to deal with and can't really ever reconcile.

They're real human beings, actually! So why are they so often forgotten, both in ways that harm them and that harm the rest of the trans community? The answer may not surprise you, and involves willful ignorance. We're joined by astounding artist Ezekiel Strange to discuss this very important topic, and also how failing upward is not aspirational and how men's bathrooms are gross (it's true).

We need to be out to be seen and respected, but doing so puts a target on our back to the bigoted portions of the population. Further complicating things is not just the gatekeeping done by some gas station hot dogs within the trans community, but the gatekeeping that we do to ourselves. We're joined by Melissa Hearne to discuss how acknowledging the binaries helps us find the space between them, and how you get to be who you are, and nobody else gets to tell you who that is.

And so we have to look elsewhere to see ourselves reflected in our media, and that's what finding our own representation is all about. And we're going to discuss a very personal and meaningful bit of art I've found my own representation in, P!nk. And that involves me spilling my soul and feeling really exposed, so... hope you're ready for that!

It's opposing options that are presented as the ONLY options, it permeates absolutely every part of our society, and it harms all of us, even cis people. But don't buy into it!

It's vital for every marginalized community, including us trans folks. But guess what? It doesn't (and can't) only apply to us, and people from other marginalized communities need US to be intersectional, too. We don't need to hurt others just to stand up for ourselves. We're joined by the Library Girl, Mina Martinez Oldham​, to remind you that you support people from other marginalized communities is by listening to them, and believing them... just like we need cis people to do for us.

We're joined by Jack Knoxville of the Trans Empowerment Project, and talk about clothing swaps, how being called on your bigotry is not equal to your actual bigotry, and how trans people are all such badasses (it's true!).

We're joined by the multi-talented Laser, whose new solo album Overreacting is out February 10! Remember: trans is just another kind of woman you can be, and every trans person is valid. YES, even YOU. You'll also learn about the lexicon of maleness, bros starting fires, and how no one has a writing career anymore!

Rather than discussing specific stories and roles, we're going to talk about who gets to tell those stories, and who gets to play those roles, and why. Is my voice still sore? Yes. Will you notice? Also yes. We're joined by actress and certified funny lady Eileen Noonan (her webseries Smoosh is coming soon!), and hey... Chris Hemsworth's arms are feminist icons!

There's also talk about when transition ends, and discussion about how we all smell (wouldn't you like to know). Apologies for my scratchy voice, we recorded this the day after I ran a TTPRG game and talked for an entire afternoon, and it shows.
