    Ivy Insights

    The Tilly's Trans Tuesdays podcast is an incredible resource for anyone seeking to understand and support the transgender community. As a single parent of a trans daughter, I have found this podcast to be invaluable in providing insight, empathy, and connection. Tilly approaches difficult topics with passion and empathy, creating a space where listeners can learn, grow, and feel more connected to the trans community as a whole. This podcast has become a weekly ritual for me, a source of representation that I can identify with.

    One of the best aspects of this podcast is its ability to tackle different subjects each week with thoughtfulness and insight. Tilly, Susan, and their guests provide a friendly and thoughtful discussion that leads listeners to consider things they may not have before. As a cisgender person, I appreciate the opportunity to hear from as many trans voices as possible through this podcast. Tilly's willingness to acknowledge her own privilege and elevate marginalized voices within the trans community adds depth and authenticity to the conversations.

    While it is difficult to find any negative aspects of this podcast, one potential drawback could be the limited perspectives represented in the discussions. While Tilly does make an effort to bring in diverse voices, there may still be gaps in representation that some listeners may notice. However, this does not diminish the overall value of the podcast or its ability to educate and inform.

    In conclusion, The Tilly's Trans Tuesdays podcast is an essential listening experience for anyone wanting to learn more about the trans experience or how to support transgender individuals in their lives. It provides genuine insight into what it means to be trans while highlighting both the struggles and joys that come with self-discovery and acceptance. Tilly's enthusiasm and positivity shine through every episode, making it an engaging and informative resource for all listeners – cisgender or transgender alike.

    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.

    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.
