Halloween (and the fear of embracing your true self)

LISA FRANKENSTEIN is funny, goofy, heartwarming, and delightfully weird. It's also a really deep trans allegory that speaks to transness in a lot of ways, and very specifically to transmasc folks. So let's talk about how the filmmakers might have made an unintentionally intentional allegory, the meaning of names, the metaphoric use of color, and start examining by timestamps! Production assistant, writer, and artist Kent Eigengrau joins us to discuss marrying film and literature, and Victorian gentlemen!

Halloween was always a bit rough for me. Free candy's great, but how do you put a costume on top of the costume of the cis person people tell you that you have to be? Even when I had a costume, I was terrified of using any makeup or hair dye... because what I was really afraid of is that I would LIKE those things, and then what would that say about me?

Listen, I love being trans, I really do. I don't want to be cis. But I'd also love to be able to just exist in the world as a human. Transness is just one (big and important) part of who I am, and I'd really like ALL of me to be seen as a whole person and not constantly have to be reminded how I'm "the other."

The indie, 8-bit graphic style videogame "When Summer is Over" was so remarkable, and so deeply trans, I had to talk to the lady who made it, CicadaQueenV! We get into why she made it, what she was trying to say with it, and what the response to it has been. Definitely check it out, but heed the content warnings! Videogames can be art! And we can just say "trans," it's not a bad word!

Coming out can be such a complicated and difficult thing for so many of us. Let's talk about what's involved, how often we have to do it, and why we do it at all... and how the most important thing is that you do it when and how is right for you.

Birthdays can be rough for many people, but they can be extra difficult for trans people pre-transition... because why is a waking death worth celebrating? We discuss how tough they were, and how discombobulating it was during transition when that all started to change. Storyboard artist Nazul "Suli" Sobrino joins us to discuss how there's so many good things, and sometimes there's no other option. Why would you give a five year old a mug for a gift?

So what happens when trans youth are old enough for puberty blockers? What do they have to go through to get access to that care? Let me tell you how difficult it was for me, as an adult, and you'll maybe see how many barriers trans kids actually face. And we discuss the lengths good parents will go to in order to keep their kids safe. Karla, the cis mom of a trans kid, returns to discuss finding your humanity. Trans care is more important than cis mistakes, and children are people, not property!

Trans kids exist, and they need your support. No, they're not getting surgeries... but cis kids and intersex kids sure are! Hopefully that bothers you, but it sure doesn't bother the people trying to take away the literally lifesaving care that trans kids need. Get a whole mountain of facts within, so you finally understand what's really going on (and why the entire legitimate professional healthcare industry is opposed to outlawing care for trans kids).

So what does the science say about trans people and sports? You're not gonna believe this (yes you will), but it's entirely on the side of... trans people. So are elite cis women athletes. So what's the reason behind this push to keep trans women out of women's sports? Bigotry! And yes, we have proof (they've actually admitted it). Also a whole lot of sexism and the belief cis men are simply the best at everything and get super mad when they're not (there's proof of this too). Zoe Aurora Slater, former trainer of competing powerlifters and bodybuilders, returns to discuss the physics of photography and straight hesitancy. Be open to finding yourself along the way, friends.

Trans people in sports?! Huge if true. Republicans would have you believe this is a national emergency of the utmost unfairness, and for some reason a lot of otherwise good allies fall into the "well I just don't know about sports..." trap. So let's talk about where the origins of policing trans bodies in sports comes from (spoilers: it's literally the nazis), and how "unfair advantages" are actually what sports are all about. And let's talk about how trans women don't have those "advantages" anyway. You're gonna learn!
