    Ep. 9 Why Transladies are Ladies.

    November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance, a day where we take the time to honor the trans people who have lost their lives in the fight for justice, for simply being trans. Stigmatization and fear is used to justify violence, and this is something that cannot be ignored in our communities.  We would like to dedicate this episode to Brooklyn Deshauna Smith, a 20 y/o trans woman who was shot and killed in Shreveport last month.  To her family and friends, we offer our deepest condolences. Shreveport close to all of us involved in this podcast, so her loss hits close to home.  Today, we are joined by Yngrid, who will be discussing her experiences as a transwoman with us, as well. Please check out these wonderful resources and charities:  https://www.latransadvocates.org https://marshap.org/ https://www.glitsinc.org/ https://www.theokraproject.com/ https://www.hrc.org/news/hrc-mourns-brooklyn-deshuna-black-trans-woman-killed-in-louisiana RIP Brooklyn Deshauna Smith. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jennifer-guess/support

    Ep. 8 The Red Flags of Abuse

    Welcome back to Because I’m a Lady That’s Why, a podcast about responding to anti-femme issues in a ladylike fashion. In today’s episode, I would like to discuss the red flags that indicate an abuser in relationships.  No two relationships are the same, but there are patterns that appear in abusive relationships. It can take years and years to see abuse for what it is. This was a difficult episode to record. It was emotional, but it is imperative that those who recognize that they are being abused seek help.  Here are some valuable resources:  http://www.usafvshelter.org/red-flags-warning-signs-of-an-abusive-personality https://www.thehotline.org/ Call 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) for Domestic Abuse Hotline https://ncadv.org/STATISTICS https://www.loveisrespect.org/resources/types-of-abuse/ https://lcadv.org/programs-resources/ Reading: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/224552.Why_Does_He_Do_That_ Freyd, J.J.

    Ep. 6 Why Promote Breast Cancer Awareness?

    I will be discussing the importance of breast cancer awareness.  This is part two in a series discussing modesty culture and women’s health. Breast cancer is the second biggest killer of women (second to lung cancer). Early detection and awareness are the best defense, but many young women are ignoring the steps they should take to monitor their own health.   My guest today is Amanda Tamaccio, a talented, little bombshell of a lady who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. In a year’s time, her whole life has changed. I asked to interview her in today’s episode so that listeners may hear about how important breast cancer awareness is from someone who knows better than I. Venmo to support Amanda @amandatamaccio Listen to her croon with her band Star Chamber on Spotify.  (They are amazing!) @starchamberband (Insta) Check your boobies!  https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/breast-exam/about/pac-20393237 --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jennifer-guess/support

We have liberties that should be protected. So when I say, “cover it up” here, I’m not just talking about covering up the parts of the body, the skin. I am also talking about covering up issues that are important. What do you say? Shall we expose them? --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/jennifer-guess/support

    Ep. 4 Why Bear the Mental Load?

    Ladies tend to bear the Mental load known as the “worry work” when it comes to household management. This accounts for stress gaps between men and women, work-family conflicts, and conflict between partners.

    Ep. 2 Why should I be small?

    So why is it that women have such anxiety over controlling and changing the shape of our bodies? In this episode we discuss the shifting ideal body types in history and address the dangerous and lingering effects they have on our culture.  The ladylike thing to do? Push back against the idea of a single, idealized, beautiful body type. Foster body positivity and embrace diversity. Recover from the disordered eating habits and anxiety that might have become a normal part of your life. You have to love your body as it is in order to care for it in the way that brings about healthy change. You deserve to take up space and to grow and to be anything but “small”. Content Warning:  The content and discussion in this episode will necessarily engage with eating disorders, self harm, and body hatred. Although the end-goal of this podcast is to create a safe space and to push back against negative issues with positivity, this episode includes  potentially emotionally challenging or triggering content.

    Ep.1 Why Get Paid Less Just to Pay More?

    On today's inaugural episode,  we’ll be looking at a topic that affects all women: Finances. We’ll be discussing the Pink Tax, The Wage gap, and the way society pushes for women to consume more while making less. Why do we fall for the trends and marketing ploys so often, and what is a classy response to this unladylike pressure to buy more while earning less?  Source Links:  https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/dca/downloads/pdf/partners/Study-of-Gender-Pricing-in-NYC.pdf https://www.nationalpartnership.org/our-work/resources/economic-justice/fair-pay/african-american-women-wage-gap.pdf Glynn, S.
