The GenderGP Podcast

Talking trans politics in Britain with @TheymerSophie

 

Hello, this is Dr Helen Webberley. Welcome to our GenderGP Podcast, where we will be discussing some of the issues affecting the trans and non-binary community in the world today, together with my co-host Marianne Oakes, a trans woman herself, and our head of therapy.

 





Dr Helen Webberley:



Hi everyone. Marianne and I here today with another guest. Nice to see you all. And I want to welcome Sophie with us today. So I met Sophie just before Christmas 2020, when it came to my attention that there was a fundraising gaming stream, not really words that I completely understood at the time. But someone said, well actually my kids said, mom, you've got to have a look at this. There's someone on Twitch doing a live stream, raising funds for young people who were affected by the Tavistock ruling in late 2020. And I'm really happy to have Sophie here who's responsible for all of that. So as I normally do, Sophie, I'm going to hand over to you. I'll let you tell the world who you are and how come all this came about. And also, thank you.







Theymer Sophie:



Well, thanks. Thank you for everything you do. I've said this a million times on the stream already when we've chatted before, but you know, I played a game, you help people, but yeah. So I'm Sophie, pronouns they/them. I have a YouTube channel called Curio where I talk about media mostly from a queer, leftist perspective. But sometimes I do like quite purely political videos. I have one that's my most viewed video that's called the aesthetics of intellectualism and talks about people like Jordan Peterson. And I am working on one about the gender critical movement, which is called transphobia with British characteristics. And I I also, and this is as Helen was saying, sometimes stream games on the website Twitch, where Twitter and Twitch, as Theymer Sophie. And so after the Tavistock ruling I felt absolutely awful, a lot of pacing around the room saying F this country. And I saw people talking about what could be done. I saw Joe (unclear 2:32) initiative to try and overturn it, things like this. And I saw Casey Montgomery mentioned that GenderGP had set up a fund to help under sixteens. And I thought, well, this is a good opportunity. I know my audience, and I know they'll show out for helping out trans kids however they can. So I made a little trailer and I told them I would stream on Twitch, which if you're completely unfamiliar, if you're prestream Helen's condition, basically I play a game and a feed of it goes out to an audience, and I'm also there on camera chatting and, and, you know, gaming.

 



Dr Jack Turban, child and adolescent psychiatry fellow at Stanford University School of Medicine, joins the GenderGP podcast for an episode exploring the notion of detransition.



Together Jack, Helen and Marianne discuss the notion that a person's gender expression and gender identity can change throughout their life. They acknowledge the use of detransition as an argument against affirming transgender people, and the damage that this does, as well as covering how we need to broaden our understanding of what detransition really means, what is driving it and how we can work to support someone through the process.

Exploring Detransition with Dr Jack Turban

 

 



Fundraising for trans healthcare has found a new home thanks to the likes of @Hbombrguy who raised a staggering $340,000 for Mermaids in 2019 and @theymerSophie whose livestream on Twitch late in 2020 raised a phenomenal £50,000 towards the GenderGP Fund - an amount that was matched by GenderGP in in-kind donations. Inspired by these incredible fundraising feats, Twitch streamer Ed Sweet, is holding his own live stream to raise funds for trans youth over the weekend of February 20th and 21st.



In this episode of the GenderGP Podcast, Ed joins Dr Helen and two other gamers, Dr Helen’s own son, Jack, and Rhy, one of GenderGP’s Pathway Advisors. Together they discuss the forthcoming stream “Mario Kart for Hope’’, how vital fundraising is for trans youth in the UK right now, and why Twitch is the perfect fundraising platform for this community.

How gaming became a lifeline for trans youth

 

Hello, this is Dr Helen Webberley. Welcome to our GenderGP Podcast, where we will be discussing some of the issues affecting the trans and non-binary community in the world today, together with my co-host Marianne Oakes, a trans woman herself, and our head of therapy.

 





Dr Helen Webberley:



Welcome to another edition of our podcast. Unusual one this week, we have a gaming podcast, a little bit outside of my comfort zone as a mom and a doctor. But just recently, I did happen to find myself massively immersed in the world of gaming, which I think we'll talk about a little bit later. I've got some cool guests with me today. If I'm allowed to say that word cool without being too uncool. And I'm going to let them introduce themselves. So we have Ed, we have Jack, we have Rhy. Ed, over to you first, introduce yourself, tell us why you're here and what's happening.







Ed:



Okay. So obviously, I'm Ed, a streamer on Twitch under the name SuperSweetBoy. I do a mix of games and dramatic read-throughs of stories. And on the 20th of February, I am doing a fundraiser for GenderGP called Mario Kart for Hope.







Jack Webberley:



My name is Jack. I am also a gamer. I am also a student in Cardiff University, studying civil engineering. I am on today because last night mum asked me, could you please come on as a gamer and basically make sure she doesn't embarrass herself.







Ed:



You were her back up.







Jack Webberley:



Yeah, back up.







Rhy Brignell:



Hi, my name is Rhy. My pronouns are they/them. I would describe myself as a casual gamer for the shame. I work as a pathway advisor for GenderGP,
