    Rainbow Capitalism 2: From Bad to Worse

    Rainbow Capitalism is terrible. Flat-out awful, even though trans and queer customers SHOULD be catered to as part of any company's customer base. But it's got to be legit, without them donating to people who want to strip our rights away. But when those same bad people get into power, it's amazing how quickly Pride merch evaporated... or came back without any trans options. Author Mia V. Moss returns to discuss finding your hidden guardrails and having your Alice in Wonderland moment! Where's my Pride Pizza?! MIA V.

    Confidence 3: Embracing Your True Self

    I recently discovered that without realizing, I have apparently so fully embraced and accepted who I am, that I am literally excited to be perceived. Let's talk about how that can sneak up on you, and how so fully loving who you are can change experiences in ways you never dreamed were possible. And yes, this is Confidence 3, but it's also Gender Euphoria 2, and Halloween (and the fear of embracing your true self) 2, because everything's connected, and we'll talk about that too. Our sound editor Jillian Morgan returns to discuss being awkward on stage and bringing it all together! My humanness shows all over the place! Free the frogs!

    Letting Go

    We all have hopes and dreams, and imagine how transition is going to go, and who we really are inside. But often the only way to actually get to that true person inside is by letting go of our preconceived notions of who we were going to be. Our sound editor Jillian Morgan joins us to discuss figuring yourself out, and being "just not a boy." It's magically curly!

    The Constant Fight

    Every single day living as a trans person in the US is an unending battle on dozens of different fronts, and it all adds up and takes a toll.

    Performative Allyship

    You don't get to just call yourself an ally to trans people without action to back it up. Ally is a verb, and if you're not willing to do even the easiest, smallest thing to help trans people, you are not our ally. No matte how much you want to think you are so that you can feel like a good person. So let's talk about what performative allyship looks like, so you know how to avoid falling into that trap. Writer, comedian, and actress Riley Silverman returns to discuss taking small steps, and the line between work and fun!
