    Bad Representation 2: Emilia Pérez

    Emilia Pérez is out there tearing up the awards circuit, and though it stars a trans woman, it contains one of the most damaging portrayals of trans women in recent movies. We're gonna dive into all the reasons why, because this is what happens when cis people steal our voices and our stories. They'll pat themselves on the back for being "such good allies" to us, while perpetuating all the lies bigots tell about us and actively making our lives harder. It's gotta stop. Writer, journalist, and filmmaker Jessie Earl joins us to discuss the joy of the mundane and trans Trekkies!

    Trans Trauma 2: Societal Gaslighting

    Welcome to the season two finale! I dunno if you've realized, but all of society gaslights trans people about the very nature of our existence. It's bad actually! We're gonna talk about how exactly that happens, and the effect that can have on a person who's absorbed it for an entire lifetime. Social worker Charlie Hutchinson returns to discuss reconstructing oppression into joy and victory! Let's also talk about... the compulsory heterosexuality of dishwashing gloves?!

    Photos 3: Tilly's Guide to Selfies

    You asked for it, you demanded it, and that's really not fair for I am but a smol bean. Nevertheless, it's finally here... my tips for getting good selfies! We're gonna talk about cameras and lighting and lenses and angles and how cameras both lie and tell the truth at the exact same time. Maybe you'll get some fire selfies out of it!

    Photos 2: The Selfie Apocalypse

    What's it like when you go your whole life never seeing yourself in photos... and suddenly that changes, and you see yourself? All the time? Follow along in real-time as it blows my mind and I try to figure out exactly what the heck is happening. Artist and scholar Errata returns to discuss offering yourself grace! I have a bumpy head.
