Trans Sister Radio is a podcast that explores the real-life stories of two trans women, Athena and Erin. Every week, they give advice based on their experiences and cover topics and questions they see frequently asked by new and questioning trans folk.
Please take this survey, as it will help us make decisions going forward!https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WPGBMBSFull text of the announcement below. If you want to stay in touch with the Network and Athena, please check out the various methods below. Discord is the most frequently used, but all will be checked and reviewed constantly (because Athena is a bit of a notification addict, if we’re being honest).Discord (https://discord.gg/ZMhJmgn)Twitter (https://twitter.com/storythusfar or our handle @StoryThusFar)Athena’s Twitter (https://twitter.com/athenathusfar)Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/storythusfar/)Email (staff@storythusfar.com)Announcement Text:Hey everyone,Athena here. If you couldn’t tell from the title, this is not the announcement I was hoping to make today. After her time away, Erin came to realize that she wasn’t enjoying podcasting anymore. It became a source of stress in her life, and ultimately she’s decided she wants to prioritize other projects she wants to work on.And, before you ask, this has nothing to do with our relationship. She helped me proofread and edit this announcement, actually. She’s here in spirit, even if she’s not here in person.So, with Erin stepping away, that leaves me and the network in a tough spot. Erin was our editor and music producer as well as a host, and while she’s offered to help keep editing, I’m not inclined to ask for her help unless I truly can’t figure it out on my own (though I expect to be asking her many questions about how to edit going forward)!Even if none of that were true, it also means that our two shows really can’t continue as they were before. I’m not the kind of person who can do a podcast by myself, or at least not one in the vein of Trans Sister Radio or Still Inspired By. Those shows, to me, are truly shows that work best as conversational shows, and I’m not nearly clever enough to play both halves of a conversation.So, here’s where I’m at. I love podcasting and producing content. I want to keep making things and putting them out for people to listen to and enjoy. However, I don’t know how to do that alone, or what that would even look like if I had another host.In short, I don’t know how long it will be before you see another show from me or this network. I hope the answer is soon, but I don’t know when. But I can share some of the steps I need to go through to get to a new show, and maybe ask for some help as well.To me, there are three big things that need to happen before the network starts making shows again. First, I need to figure out how to edit, even if it’s a rudimentary level. Second, I need to figure out what kind of shows I can produce. And third, I need to find a new co-host, or maybe multiple co-hosts, depending on the show.That’s what needs to happen. How can you help?Well, first and foremost, omg someone send me tutorials on how to edit. I’d love information if you have it to share!The second thing is to let us know any ideas you might have about what kinds of shows or content you’d like to see. I’ve created a survey you can take, link in the description below, and tell me what you liked about TSR and Still Inspired By and what you’d like to see continue. Additionally, if you have ideas for shows the network could host (like say your own podcast that you just need a place to post) or anything else you want to see, please contact us via Twitter, Facebook, or email, all of which are linked below.The final thing is… well, like I said, I need to find a co-host. This is going to be the hardest, especially because I’d ideally like it to be someone I can speak with in person and interview, which is made exceptionally hard by a certain global pandemic. I don’t know how long this will take, but I’m open to a host who doesn’t live near me (I mean, that’s how the network started after all). In short, I’m accepting applications for Trans Sister Radio’s open co-host spot. If you are passionate about podcasting and think you’d make a good host, I’d love to meet and chat with you. It doesn’t pay anything (yet, though god I would love that to change) and its absolutely a passion project, but I don’t know anyone who would be interested in hosting, so I’d love to meet some of you, if you are.So, that’s where we are right now. I don’t know how long this will take, I don’t even know how to start, but this isn’t the end of our story. Just a bit of writer’s block along the way.NOW that being said, I AM still around. If you want to stay in touch with me or the network, please find me on twitter at @athenathusfar and @storythusfar, and also catch up with us on discord in our Story Thus Far Network server. I’ll have links to all that in the description.I want to end by saying thank you to Erin for being a part of this adventure and for getting me started, and for showing me that this was not only possible, but doable. If it weren’t for her help and support, none of this would exist, and I wouldn’t have a network on which to make an announcement. For many reasons, she means the world to me, and this is certainly one of them.And finally above all, thank you, each of you, for supporting us, listening to us ramble, and giving us so much wonderful feedback. You have each impacted my life in a way I never thought would be possible. I can’t understate how positive of an influence you all have been on my life.I hope to speak to you again soon. And I guess… for now, it’s time for me to say… end tran-Oh! Wait. Almost forgot. I love all my trans siblings. Okay, now it’s time for me to end transmission.Bye!

Discord is the most frequently used, but all will be checked and reviewed constantly (because Athena is a bit of a notification addict, if we’re being honest).Discord (https://discord.gg/ZMhJmgn)Twitter (https://twitter.com/storythusfar or our handle @StoryThusFar)Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/storythusfar/)Email (staff@storythusfar.com)Announcement Text:Erin’s HalfHello everyone.This is Erin here.I know we said we would be planning to release a new season of Trans Sister Radio today. But the truth is my mental health has been in a seriously bad decline these past few weeks. Honestly, it has been one of the worst I have had in years. I’m really struggling with a lot personally, and it is already affecting the recording schedule, as you probably have noticed with Still Inspired By.I am feeling severely overwhelmed by a lot of things and I’m not in a very great place mentally.It is because of these issues that I am afraid I am taking a back from my content creation. Please, make no mistake; being able to provide some answers to some of the questions Athena, myself, and others have had on the same journey has been an experience I wouldn’t trade for the world. But right now, I have a lot of things I need to audit in my own life and I need some time away to properly assess them. You may or may not see me in the various groups we have like the twitter, the discord, or the subreddit.I truly apologize for this. This is not in any way something that is easy for me to type up and Athena can vouch for the amount of tears shed over it all.I hope you all have a wonderful night. I hope you all find the strength to deal with your own struggles. And I hope you all will share the love you have with those in your life that need it in any way that you can.Thank you all from the bottom of my heart,Erin VictoriaAthena’s HalfHi all, Athena here.I want to add to what Erin said above and give you all some clarity on what this means for the network, our shows, and my personal content creation.Obviously, with the only two shows our network produces being joint shows between Erin and I, this means we won’t be producing any new shows for a while. We’re not saying that Trans Sister Radio and Still Inspired By are permanently canceled (nor do I hope we will have to say that), but we are saying that they’re delayed. We’re going to go on a hiatus for about six weeks while Erin takes a break and I think about my own personal plans.This means you can look for an announcement from us on April 7th with more details on what the future of the network and our shows holds.Additionally, I’m going to be doing some thinking about new shows or ways to continue the existing shows if Erin does decide that she needs to permanently step away from the network after the hiatus. If you have thoughts, ideas, or anything else, I’d love to hear them, so please continue reaching out to me via the network information I’ll have in the show notes below.I’d also like to say that our Discord server is going to remain open, as the community we’ve built there is truly something wonderful. If you want to stay in touch with me and the community, please consider visiting it. I’ll have links to that as well in the show notes.Above all, I want to make it clear. This is not the end of our story. Erin and I have had many fun times on this network and we’re both proud of the shows we’ve gotten to make for you. As Erin said, this is not an easy decision, and it’s one I’ve watched her struggle with over the last few months. As painful as it is, this is the right choice for her, for us, and for the network. I hope you all can understand that, and I hope you’ll be here in April when whatever happens, happens.Like I said earlier, the network and our shows will go on. I want to continue bringing you podcasts, and I hope that involves Erin as well, but it’s also okay if it doesn’t.Thank you all for listening for the nearly two years of this network’s existence. I can’t wait to bring you many more years of shows.Thanks for listening.

Welcome to another episode of Trans Sister Radio: Broadcasting Everything Trans!In this episode, Athena and Erin discuss what they feel makes a trans character a good trans character.Main Topic: Making a Good Fictional Trans CharacterCharacters we used as good examplesLup (The Adventure Zone)Alesha (Magic the Gathering)https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/truth-names-2015-01-28Janeva (Horizon: Zero Dawn)The character needs to be believable and interesting regardless of their trans identityLup (has realistic motivations, interesting hobbies)Alesha (is the khan of a warlike tribe, story isn’t actually about her trans-ness)Janeva (is the leader of a prison, fought for his right to be a soldier)The character should not be a stereotype.Lup and Alesha are both feminine but aren’t over the top feminine; Lup is more of “punk” style of character, and Alesha is the leader of a tribe of warriors.Janeva is a little more stereo-typically male, but this makes sense in the context of the brutal nature of the world.The character needs to approach their trans identity realisticallyHainly Abrams controversyhttps://hornet.com/stories/mass-effect-andromeda-hainly-transgender/Really Silly Thing: Fall Themed RecipesErin’s Recipe:Ingredients1 cup of apple butter1 cup of canned pumpkin½ cup packed brown sugar¾ tsp cinnamon½ tsp salt⅛ tsp ginger¾ tsp nutmeg3 eggs slightly beaten¾ cup evaporated milk1 unbaked pie crustInstructions:Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine the first 7 ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the eggs. Gradually add the evaporated milk and mix completely. Pour the ingredients into the pie shell (and you can cover the edges of the pie with foil so they don’t burn if you want) and bake for about 40 minutes or until a table knife can go in and come out clean in the center.Athena’s Recipe:https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/paula-deen/pumpkin-cheesecake-recipe-1950261We are asking for more topic ideas!
