It's trans history month! Are you fired up to learn about trans people in history? Good, because we need that fire to push back against prevailing thought in a field that doesn't know how to spot us, doesn't want to spot us, refuses to name us, and actively worked to hide our existence. So let's dive right in to talking about how we name trans people in history, and why it's absolutely vital for us to do so to combat cissexism. PhD student in history (sexual diversity studies) Nico Mara-McKay joins us to discuss cultural shifts and how transitioning is a fraught concept! Also Dirtbag Henry makes his first appearance on the pod. We've got manifestos for everyone!

Hi cis friends! Why do you stare at us? I mean, I think I know why, and so do you. And you have to know how rude it is. So then why do you do it anyway? Let's talk about just how often it happens, the ludicrous lengths you will go to in order to keep staring at us, and how incredibly insulting it is when we already do SO much just to get you to leave us alone. Geeky ttrpg-er Kristine Chester returns to discuss inspiring each other and waiting for the Vulcans. She's making history and setting precedents! And hey... if your words are bad, change them.

So now you know that there are little bonuses that come with transition that we couldn't have anticipated, but did you know even more comes along with it? Sometimes there are changes to yourself and the way you exist in the world that you also could have never anticipated. And where those can lead you is sometimes surprising. Geeky ttrpg-er Kristine Chester joins us to discuss being present in your life and how ttrpgs really are evil!

There's a whole lot that every trans and nonbinary person hopes to get out of transition, but sometimes you also get small, wonderful little bits of joy you never could have anticipated. And they're all due to the world transition opens up to you. Photographer, filmmaker, and writer Rachel Kendra returns to discuss film scores, Robotech, and not hating the person in the mirror.
