    Hormone Replacement Therapy

    · Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

    For many trans folks, hormone replacement therapy is a vital part of our transition. Let's talk about why that is, what it does and doesn't do, and a little thing we call... patience. The 4400 and Clean Slate writer Shomari Kirkwood joins us to discuss being part of the world and ewwphoria! The sun is in Aries and the moon is blue.

  • Recovering Trans Childhoods

    Recovering Trans Childhoods

    · Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

    The past can be difficult for those of us who transition as adults, so much so this is our fifth episode exploring it. But sometimes something surprises you, and gives you a little piece of the childhood you missed. Localization producer and comic creator Liam Coballes returns to discuss having a relationship with yourself, and how artists don't make money. Be jealous of my pony!

    Tucking and Binding

    · Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

    It's time to talk about an topic that's literally uncomfortable! Tucking and binding can be awful but also amazing, so let's talk about what they are and why we do (or don't) utilize them. Localization producer and comic creator Liam Coballes joins us to discuss the cosplay community and how rocks are cool. Math is hard!

    Trans History 3: Interview with Alex L. Combs and Andrew Eakett

    · Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

    Join me as I interview creators Alex L. Combs and Andrew Eakett about their new graphic novel, Trans History: From Ancient Times to the Present Day. We discuss their research process and all the love that went into this book about trans and nonbinary folks through history, and how important it is to get that information out into the world. Hey transphobes, have you tried not sucking?

    The Trans Allegory of Real Genius, part 1

    · Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

    Tillyvision's back as we dive into REAL GENIUS, a classic comedy from the 1980s that's so very incredibly trans... because it was written by a trans woman! We begin our four-part series by talking about its writer, PJ Torokvei, and the context of the time she wrote this in. Kestrel Clayton joins us to discuss bootleg tapes and art as a lifeline. It's a love fest!

    Bad Representation 2: Emilia Pérez

    · Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

    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

    · Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

    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?!

    CONTENT WARNING: this episode includes a frank discussion of trauma, including suicidal ideation and hate crimes.

    Trans Tuesdays will return in mid-January 2025!

    Trans Trauma 1: That Old Dysphoric Feeling

    · Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

    When you spend most of your life with gender dysphoria, even after it dissipates or disappears entirely, you can find it affecting your life in all kinds of little ways you never expected. We talk about how and why this happens, how it just might be PTSD, and how we can cope with it. Social worker Charlie Hutchinson joins us to discuss how our body remembers the score.

    Photos 3: Tilly's Guide to Selfies

    · Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

    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! Artist and scholar Errata returns to discuss the importance of visibility and what we owe to those who come after. "Disregard the haters!"

    Photos 2: The Selfie Apocalypse

    · Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

    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. And every trans selfie is an act of resistance.

    Why are photos and reflections so hard for so many trans people? What do we see when we look at them? Join me as I clunkily try to explain! Artist and scholar Errata joins us to discuss performance filters and class switching! Bad recipes for candy meat ahoy!
