POPULARITY
In the first half of the 20th century the literary scene was dominated by now revered authors, whose books have since become classics. It reads like a roll call of greats - Ernest Hemingway, Marcel Proust, George Orwell, James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, J.R.R Tolkein and, of course, Virginia Woolf, to name a few. Their books need no explanation. With a juggernaut of status behind them, these authors have outgrown their living credibility and become much bigger personalities since death. Time allows for such reverence, but with it fresh criticism of the words and the writers. In today's woke world, where cancel culture leaves no stone unturned, many of our famed musicians, scholars, aritsts, and writers face fresh evaluation for the things they said or did when they were alive. Virginia Woolf is the latest in this canon to come under fire... This episode was written by Rhyannon Styles. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Rhyannon Styles (she/her) - Berlin When my dear friends lay it all out there like Rhyannon does in her writing, it really hits me hard. Make sure to get @rhyannon_styles newest book HELP! I'm Addicted: A Trans Girls Self-Discovery and Recovery it's out everywhere! We first met in London during my burning out years on the never ending tattooing world tour (in a queer AA meeting in the Crypt of an old church) because I drummed up the courage to say hello. She might have even been able to convince me to qualify at that first meeting as I was fresh foreign meat (this opportunity actually introduced me indirectly to other dear friends would also move over to Berlin consecutively). What we shared back then was much more than I could be aware of (though I felt the gravity to her and her story big time). Before relocating to Berlin she was already committing her focus to writing her memoirs (she just released the second iteration of what I hope will be more than just the thrillogy). Since then she has gotten a degree in performance in Berlin and has been offering gong healing sessions (even continuing this practice via zoom while in lock down). Berlin is lucky to have her here (and when you get her time, you feel it's special).
There used to be a saying in the olden days, long long before the birth of content and cancel culture, it went like this - “today's news is tomorrow's fish and chip papers”. It's important to remember that cancel culture isn't only a phenomenon of the 21st Century, much in the same way that trans people weren't all birthed in the year 2000. Although in today's world, we do have transgender cover stars specifically chosen to celebrate and support the individuals, it wasn't always the case. Nothing exemplifies that more than the story of April Ashley. This episode was written by Rhyannon Styles. This is a Broccoli Production Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A raw, frank and practical guide to recovery from addiction and substance abuse from one of the stars of the trans community. My name is Rhyannon, and I'm an addict. In 2012, Rhyannon Styles began her gender transition and attended her first 12-step meeting - beginning two journeys which changed the course of her life. Using her personal narrative as a springboard for exploring addiction, recovery and LGBTQ+ mental health, Rhyannon writes with searing honesty about the complexity of her experiences. The audiobook spans a range of addictions including alcohol, food, sex and relationships, the internet and narcotics, and highlights the ways in which addiction and the transition process can overlap. A first-of-its kind narrative and a powerful account of recovery, this audiobook offers advice, hope and support for those struggling with addiction in its many forms.

Why does body hair make us so uncomfortable? Because it’s about so much more than the decision to remove it or let it grow. (Although waxing is uncomfortable, I’ll give you that.)Body hair is political. It’s also social and cultural. For some women – particularly trans women – the absence or presence of body hair can even be a safety issue. Messaging around body hair is insidious and the policing can begin at a young age, perpetuating narrow beauty standards and an even narrower understanding of gender identity.It’s been a hotly debated topic for decades, but there are voices and experiences that still go unheard. We are joined this week by two great guests: trans writer and performer Rhyannon Styles, as well as self-described “mental health nerd” Aisha Mirza, who has been writing about body hair for over a decade from the perspective of a queer, non-binary person of colour.
