Guest (& editor!) Brandy comes back on the show to discuss how she fell in love with drag and how it helped her discover her own trans identity. A lot of trans people use drag as a means of expression or a way to explore the eggy parts of themselves before transitioning, but there are a LOT of misconceptions about the difference between "drag" and "being trans." Today, we talk about all of that and more!

It's a surprisingly common experience for trans people to use the social acceptability of drag to explore the eggy parts of themselves before transitioning, but there are a LOT of misconceptions about the difference between "drag" and "being trans." Conservatives are utilizing and weaponizing the confusion, muddying the waters intentionally so that people think of trans as being NO DIFFERENT from drag, while in truth--they literally couldn't be more different. We also explain trans & drag terminology like "fish," "brick," "doll," "clock it," "crunchy," and so many more along the way. Then, Brandy and Chloe commiserate about their early-transition transmisogyny experiences, and the absolute terror of trying ot get your makeup right or shop for clothes in your true gender for the first time.

With the midterms coming up and the "big seats" getting all of the attention, we decided to bring things back to ground level and focus on the election in your life that matters more than all the others: your LOCAL elections. They may not feel as exciting or groundbreaking, but they have the MOST clear impact on your daily lives, and are often decided by hundreds of votes rather than by millions. We have an interview with a parent (Bea Hamilton) in Redlands California who is part of a ground-level movement to try to get MAGA out of their school board. We dive into the harm that a few bad representatives can do in just a few short years, and the general goals behind the "not MAGA" movement.

The MAGA/fascist/capitalist/nazi movement is deep, strategic, and all-encompassing. They aren't just trying to win the presidency, they're trying to win EVERY available seat of power, which includes the smallest levels: like your local SCHOOL BOARD. In an interview with listener and CA parent Bea Hamilton, we discuss the MAGA effort to take over the Redlands, CA school district, ban books (for queerphobic and blatantly racist reasons), indoctrinate children into Christianity (making Bibles available to middle school kids), and do nothing to protect children from harm at the hands of their parents and teachers. If you're upset about the state of the world, YOU have the power to do something about it. Get out and vote, because this might just be the most important election of your life!

There's a lot of anti-trans propaganda out there, coming largely from the transphobic people on the political right... so why is it that conservatives are so terrified of transgender people? The simple answer is: transness flies in the face of everything their ideology holds dear, and threatens the institutions and beliefs that allow their stranglehold over our lives and their fascist regime to continue. Transphobia is the final phobia that needs to fall before we can make our world right again, which is why they fight so hard to keep us in the closet, invisible, or dead.

SOURCES:  #politics #transgender #transphobia #patriarchy #MAGA #TheGenderYap Especially this close to the midterms, there's a metric f*ckload of anti-trans propaganda out there, coming largely from the transphobic people on the political right... and the reason is simple: transness flies in the face of everything their ideology holds dear, and threatens the institutions and beliefs that allow their stranglehold over our lives and their fascist regime to continue. If we are able to break down and overcome transphobia (aka, the belief that we are 'born' into a certain set of social and gender rules determined by anatomy that prevent us from choosing what to do with our lives and keep us trapped in a system that views women solely as 'breeding machines' and not as people, and allows a patriarchal worldview to thrive and prosper), the entire system begins to fall apart. When we believe that our bodies and the scripts handed to us from before we are born do NOT have power to determine what we're allowed to do with our lives... we are finally and truly free. We've done a lot of work as a society on breaking down fascistic and imperialistic viewpoints over the last few centuries... and transphobia might be the last one that needs to fall before capitalism finally ends.

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.

SOURCES: #history #transgender #indoctrination #patriarchy #MAGA #TheGenderYap The REAL indoctrination is convincing everyone that "patriarchy" is the natural state of things. But in this episode, we break down where patriarchy came from, and how it sinks its teeth into literally everything we do. From the invention of the first "state," our world evolved into a means of controlling the population, which meant treating AFAB people as property to maintain population numbers and instill beliefs into people so that they would assume the "natural order" included men on top and women, well, barely people at all. Religion is just another tool in their arsenal to keep people trapped in a worldview & belief system that does not allow them to question why their lives are so hard. We discuss how the existence of trans people threatens their worldview, and why they feel the need to keep the pressure and attention on US to distract from their own nefarious plans. MAGA is just the tip of the iceberg, because this is a thousands-year-long battle for our beliefs and autonomy that we are still fighting today.

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 streets, or the surveillance state we're living under... everyone's just going on and on about TRANS PEOPLE!

If trans people are allowed to exist, we pose a direct threat to the story they've been telling us about people's "role" in society for thousands of years. Naturally, it becomes necessary, in order to maintain power, to paint us out as "freaks" and "mentally ill," instead of just "people with a slight variation in gender and possibly biology from other people." Every colonizer targeted trans people FIRST. Today, we're seeing that fight play out again, with politicians of BOTH parties running campaigns on being anti-trans or at least vaguely "not pro-trans." It was a winning strategy for MAGA in 2024, so they're pulling out all the stops (and many many millions of dollars) to try to repeat history.

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!

With the manosphere, Joe Rogan, Pete Hegseth, and the general vibe of the redpill & blackpill movements and a fear of femininity, men have begun DIYing their own accidental transitions by taking testosterone shots and supplements that they do not need, giving themselves a SERIES of side-effects that include depression, anger issues, bodily funtion failures, and... accidentally femininizing 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 in today's episode.

Recently, Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White (who have incredibly valid DV/abuse against women accusations against them) have declared themselves eligible to be drafted by the WNBA! The problem is, they are not the masterminds behind this gambit--there is an entire industry behind weaponizing fear of trans people that has taken center-stage in our world, and the Heritage Foundation and the masterminds of the MAGA movement are moving quickly (and surprisingly intelligently) to push forward news stories and lawsuits that end with one clear goal: strip women of all rights and return us to an age before the 1920s.

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.

Even a lot of trans people (especially the newly-out) harbor some quiet transphobic resentments and beliefs (some of those 'oh but you're not one of the GOOD trans people' or 'you're doing trans WRONG' people). But casual transphobia is NOT the same thing as being a TERF--a lesson that Laura learned all too well during the week of the Drew Afualo discourse (remember when we were all talking about whether or not trans women have a 'more beautiful' relationship with womanhood?), when a number of her favorite feminists took off their masks and revealed the deep-seated transmisogyny that they harbored within, along with secret conservatism, racism, and a whole host of other views that tend to group together to create the tapestry of TERFdom.

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).

The thing is... they're feeling unmoored. And if someone on the left doesn't find them, some grifter on the right WILL. She helped educate him on the truth about capitalism and socialism, and how MAGA and conservatives have weaponized fear and hatred of people who are doing no harm (trans people, immigrants, etc) to continue to get away with their particular brand of fascism. In this episode, Laura tells the story of meeting this man and helping him unlearn his beliefs, followed by a conversation about the correct way to do this and whose RESPONSIBILITY it is to put in this work.

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. She talks early transition and how things have changed and she passes more and is perceived more often like a woman.

Trans women experience a new, full form of that ire, because they're perceived as women but ALSO--cis men feel like it's socially acceptable to harm them, because they're "really a man," and because of the rhetoric around trans people generally, men believe they're "protecting real women" from trans women when they hurt them. Whether it's violence at the hands of men, or casual, everyday hatred from cis men and women alike, trans women experience TRANSMISOGYNY, an intersection of misogyny and transphobia. In this episode, Chloe breaks down a number of terrifying experiences with transmisogyny (including several instances where men tried to unalive her) and how it impacts her day-to-day life, both in reality and online. She's taked less seriously, her feelings and experiences are dismissed, and no matter what she does, the majority of people simply refuse to treat her like a human being.

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!

They are all around us. From fish to lizards to birds to plants to shrimp to even mammals like lions and mice, it turns out that being transsexual isn't just natural, it's literally all around us. Humans love to think of themselves as being separate from the natural world, but we, too, are just animals, and our place in the natural world of evolution and science holds the key to so many mysteries that we haven't even begun to scratch the surface of. Trans people exist, just like turtles, frogs, birds, butterflies, trees, fish, lions, mice, and SO many other creatures that are capable of doing things you wouldn't even believe.

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 from what we'd internalized.

We sometimes define our womanhood in opposition to it, rather than by defining it on its own terms. When you're raised in a misogynistic world, it's easy to internalize some of the ideas about what "femininity" and "womanhood" are SUPPOSED to look like, and unfortunately a lot of times that means trauma. SA. DV. Boiling our entire identities down to whether or not we're able to reproduce or conceive children. And that's what patriarchy wants from us. In today's discussion, we break down how trans women and cis women alike are affected by misogyny and how we need to unlearn those beliefs in order to grow into the fullness of our feminine power.

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 until he officially recognized her as a woman!

Prior to the *existence* of the United States of America, Mademoiselle Chevalier Charlotte d'Eon, a French noble and SPY made her gender everyone's problem by living the first half of her life as a man (one who personally negotiated the end of the Seven Years War and ended up a political enemy of the state for revealing French secrets to England), and the second half of her life as a woman--having her gender officially recognized by multiple governments. Her story contains twists, turns, scandal, blackmail, alcohol, treason, libel, spycraft, and so, so much more that you have to hear to believe.

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-quarantine, with a vehemently anti-trans president in Trump... it makes the whole thing a lot harder. Chloe did it the old fashioned way, and fully socially transitioned for over a year before she ever touched a hormone. From there, things just got crazier.

She knew she 'wasn't like the other boys,' and knew she didn't quite fit in anywhere. This is NOT the story of how Chloe 'figured out' that she's a transgender woman. It IS the story of how she started the process of coming out and growing into herself once she knew. Starting with a relationship with a very un/supportive partner in 2020, all the way to transitioning like it was the 1970s, and finally working in education as a trans person. The stories are wild, offensive, transphobic, life-affirming, and hilarious, so come along on this wild ride of what it's like to exist while being trans in the 2020s.

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 observing the entire thing like a nature documentary. What ended up happening... well, just watch.

It, naturally, did not work at all, and what transpired instead is that she became a spy of sorts, becoming all-too aware of the ways that men think and behave, especially when they don't think there are any women around. This is Chloe's story. This is how a trans woman ends up in a fraternity.
