    Were Trans Women socialized as MEN??

    TERFs love to say that Trans Women can't be "real women" because they were "socialized as men," or "experienced male privilege," so we're here to explore how socialization plays into gender and self-identity and whether or not it plays any role in the way that trans women exist!

In this episode, we break down FIVE (5!) different TERFy ideas about how trans women are "socialized male," including that they "think like men," "didn't experience sexualization as a child," experienced "male socialization," enjoyed "male privilege," and never had to suffer the agonies of a period. Is there ANY truth to their ideas, or is it just transphobia all the way down??

    This bill will ERASE LGBTQ+ people online!

    KOSA, or the Kids Online Safety Act, is a secret, nefarious conservative plot to hand the government the power to CENSOR any content they deem to be "dangerous" to children. As we all know, that includes anything LGBTQIA2S+, and the Heritage Foundation has ALREADY stated that they will also use this bill, if it passes, to BLOCK information about birth control / reproductive health information. It's all-hands on deck as we try to topple this bill before it changes the internet forever!

They're pretending it's going to "limit the powers of the tech companies," but the bill is being backed by Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Zuckerberg, Apple, Meta, and every big tech company... which mneans it isn't going to be a sacrifice for them at all, and will in fact grant them the powers to limit our access to knowledge and the freedom of speech as we know it. The Heritage Foundation has ALREADY stated that they will also use this bill, if it passes, to BLOCK information about birth control / reproductive health information, and the conservatives have been fighting tooth-and-nail to block the word "transgender" from appearing anywhere on the internet at all! It's all-hands on deck as we try to topple this bill before it changes the internet forever... so CALL YOUR REPS and let's block this thing before we lose even more freedom than we already have!!

    SWERF & TERF ideology IS misogyny

    Sex Worker Exclusionary-- and Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists believe they're helping the cause by limiting the rights of other specific subgroups of women, but they're actually participating in a deep-seated form of misogyny that was invented by the patriarchy to prevent women from expressing themselves or achieving financial independence on their own! By limiting the rights of other women, they slowly allow the system to chip away at their own rights, leading to a horrific world where women are once again fully subjugated under the thumbs of MEN!

After noticing that she got along well with a lot of trans people, Laura realized that many of the ways that society, men, and a certain brand of feminist treats trans people was VERY similar to the way that those same people treated strippers and other full-service sex workers. The ideologies come from the same place: separate women into subgroups, then determine which groups qualify as "real women" or "traitors," and then fight to limit the rights of the "non-women" in an attempt to boost the rights of the "real" ones. It's purity politics at its finest, and it's a conservative viewpoint that views the world through a deeply patriarchal lens--one where women are slaves, men are on top, and no one has any chance for independence or freedom.

    Trans Kids SUE the DOJ!!

    A combination of transgender minors and trans adults are SUING the Department of Justice for their unethical and illegal DEMAND for the families' private medical records on the basis that gender-affirming care should not be private. The lawsuit cites illegal search and seizure and overreach, as well as other factors.

Medical Privacy is a legitimate concern in this case, and the lawsuit cites illegal search and seizure as well as other factors. This was clearly a targeted attack by MAGA and the Right-Wing Grifters to attempt to eradicate transgender kids from existence, using political overreach to accomplish their nefarious goals.

    Is it okay to 'OUT' closeted Conservatives??

    A big question on our minds as we attempt to resist and overthrow fascism is always... "should we use the tools of the enemy while fighting them"?? One of those weapons that they wield so proudly is "outing" closeted queer people to endanger our lives and get us ostracized from our communities. So the question on our minds is... do we fight fire with fire? Should we be "outing" the anti-LGBTQIA2S+ people who are secretly DL for us??On one side: LAURA, taking the affirmative, and on the other: CHLOE, arguing the negative.

    Why Give HRT to KIDS? - History of Trans Medicine (Part 2)

    Last week, we covered the history of the invention of hormones as medication and the long and difficult history of getting trans people the treatment they need. This week, we dive into the most recent change in the story: WHEN and WHY did we start giving hormones to trans kids?? Who were the pioneers of the treatment, and how has almost the entire world gotten on board with it so (seemingly) quickly? With so much medical consensus on the topic... why have we seen such VEHEMENT pushback from a specific type of person who has devoted their lives to making sure trans kids aren't allowed medical care?? ALL of those questions (and more!) are answered in this week's episode. ALSO!

    History of Transgender Medicine (Part 1)

    Why are hormones considered medication, and when did we start giving it to trans people? When did we start administering hormones to CIS people? Who were the thinkers who originally researched trans people, and why was the early research burned and destroyed? Why are there so few older trans people? Why were the guidelines for transition SO strict in the 1900s? How did doctors take advantage of the system to abuse trans people? When did the tides begin to shift? How long did it take before trans people were accepted as the experts of our own experiences? (and why was it SO LONG??) ALL of those questions (and more!) are answered in this week's episode. Next week, we'll be back with the ultimate question: why did we start giving hormones to children? Who were the masterminds and researchers behind transgender medicine, and how can we continue to improve it in the future? ALSO!
