Tilly's Trans Tuesdays

Let's dive into two of my favorite things that taste great together... trans allegories, and Star Trek! Season two, episode two of Strange New Worlds, "Ad Astra Per Aspera," rocked my world. Because it shouted with its whole chest TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. So let's get you the context you need if you've never watched a Star Trek, and dive into our main discussion! Critic and journalist Maureen Ryan joins us to discuss confident humility, and how as far as you know there's only one of her!

Tabletop roleplaying games offer everyone a chance to become someone else, just for a little while. And for trans folks, that can lead to some of our earliest experimentation with gender.

Body hair! Love it or hate it, it's something nearly every human has to deal with. And for those of us who hate it, whose dysphoria it makes worse, that can mean a whole intensive process to get rid of it. So let's talk about what all that entails, and why we'd go through it just to have to do it all over again. And again. And again. Comic writer Zoe Tunnell joins us to discuss feeling better in yourself and going buckwild in comics! Space horse!

There's a phenomena that happens a lot in the trans and queer community that's hard to define, but when you're so used to having to fight for every single little thing you deserve, it's too easy to sometimes go too far and end up hurting people. Let's go through some examples and talk about how to spot it and why we need to stop it. The 4400 and Clean Slate writer Shomari Kirkwood returns to discuss the joy of building yourself.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?!

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.

Part 2 of our dive into politics, and there's two big asks for cis people who truly want to help. But this might get uncomfortable, because we're going to talk about the way our political system operates in the United States, and that means realizing you can't wait for perfection or moral purity. Trans lives are on the line (as are so many others), and we must protect each other as best we can. And that sometimes means voting for someone you may not like.

This week we dive into a two-part discussion on politics as it relates to transness, and this week is all about the ways people directly or indirectly support and condone transphobia. And how, if you do that, you are not in fact my friend or an ally to trans people. We'll look at two painful examples from my own life to illustrate the harm many cis people perpetuate, sometimes without even realizing it.

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!
