An episode about grief—both personal and communal. Frankly, we're done being afraid to talk about it.
While we do find plenty of moments for humor in our conversation, this is a very heavy episode. HUGE content warning for discussions of hate crimes, LGBTQ nightclub shootings, and the loss of a sibling.
Also we forgot to introduce ourselves this episode. Sorry—we're a bit rusty. If this is your first time, Charlie is the first person who speaks, and uses she/they pronouns. Ari uses he/they pronouns.

We're back, babies! This week, we try to have an episode where we don't ONLY talk about being trans. Instead, we talk about other stuff...like religion, and high school, and toxic communities that prey on the lonely. Do all of these conversations end up invariably circling back to gender? You betcha! Plus—and this is just my (Charlie's) opinion—one of our funniest improv scenes.
CONTENT WARNINGS: A mild allusion to having suicidal thoughts. Mentions of transphobia, internalized bigotry, and bullying.

On today's very special episode, we are joined by Joe Lipsett and Trace Thurman (of the Bloody Disgusting podcast Horror Queers) to talk about the experience of being young and discovering yourself with "weird" and "forbidden" media. It's fun, it's personal, it's spooky! Then, your humble hosts play an improv game in which we try to pitch the ultimate centrist horror film.
CONTENT WARNINGS: detailed discussions of the content of horror films—including torture, violence, S.A., and graphic sexual content in general. Plus, one of the characters in the improv game expresses his transphobic views.

It's been one year (give or take) since we both came out as *not men*, and what a year it has been! This week, we discuss the aspects of social transition that have been the most surprising to us, as well as outlining our hopes for the future. We also squeeze in some improv scenes, in which a sea captain wrestles with his self-doubt and a bathing beauty learns that you can't trust a virtue-signaling apple baron. Thanks for sharing this moment with us, y'all! Clink!

Welcome back! On today's episode, we tell true stories about our real-life uncles and the uncle-ish things that they say! After each story, we do an improvised phone call between a fictional uncle and his nephew/niece, in the hopes of finding some empathy for—or at least a better understanding of—these weirdos on our family trees. Also, yes nerds, Charlie meant "Strasberg" when she said "Stanislavsky."
NOTE: We are specifically talking about cis uncles today. We may not have been clear about that in the episode.
CONTENT WARNINGS: Discussions of sex and transphobia. The first improv scene contains a fictional instance of misgendering, because uncles.

CONTENT WARNINGS: discussions of transphobia, mental illness, self-loathing, suicidal ideation.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS (as we understood them at the time of recording)
ANDROGYNY - We understand androgyny to be a blanket term for gender presentation that does not definitively fall into "masculine" or "feminine" presentation. Rather, androgyny sits somewhere in between, or else elides gendered categorization altogether. As such, androgyny encompasses a huge swath of identities, and is not synonymous with "non-binary." Cis people can present androgynously, and non-binary people can present decidedly masc or femme.NON-BINARY - We adhere to a principle of self-identity on this show. I.e. people are non-binary if they choose to identify as such, and there are no other intrinsic requirements. In general, non-binary can be defined as an identity that exists in opposition to being categorized by a binary gender. It can overlap with trans, agender, genderfluid, and other queer identities, but doesn't have to. It can spur a desire to use they/them or neopronouns, but doesn't have to! Like most things to do with identity, it's a very individualized term.QUEER - A reclaimed slur that has been largely embraced by a wide spectrum of non-heteronormative folks (us included!) and is used here interchangeably to talk about our genders and our sexualities.TRANS - Another term with myriad applications! Basically, we use "trans" to refer generally to the community of people who wish to identify as something other than their assigned-at-birth gender.RESOURCES:
