As the Trump administration erases the T and Q in LGBTQ from government websites and publications — even the signage outside the Stonewall National Monument — New York college student Eli Butler seeks to counter the hate of far-right politicians and media outlets by exploring the hidden history and the joy of transmasculine community building (interviewed by David Hunt). And in NewsWrap: two young men in the Indonesian province of Aceh are publicly beaten with a cane for having gay sex, British law does not recognize “nonbinary” as a gender according to the United Kingdom Court of Appeal, Iowa's transgender people are no longer protected from discrimination, a federal judge rules that key provisions of Trump's executive order targeting federal agencies and federally funded DEI programs in higher education and the private sector are “impermissibly vague,” a second Trump order to move transgender women in U.S. women's prisons to men's prisons is blocked, the U.S. Supreme Court lets Tennessee's virtual ban on drag performances stand, the “reverse discrimination” case of a straight, white, cisgender woman is heard by the U.S. top court, and more international LGBTQ+ news reported this week by Ava Davis and Joe Boehnlein (produced by Brian DeShazor).

After gushing about him at the end of our last episode, Adam and Cole give a warm in-studio welcome to the iconic emperor of trans masculine adult content and sexual healing, Viktor Belmont! In this hilarious and heady conversation, Viktor shares about his exceptionally unique experience of self-actualization, not only as a sexual healer and formidable adult content presence, but also as a trans man. Growing up in rural Oregon as a young punk rock lesbian, Viktor came to learn some things about himself before taking the transition plunge and relocating to San Francisco, where he lived modestly while developing an immediate understanding of the need to brand himself as a well-known sexual internet presence. In the days of MySpace and Tumblr, he gained a following as well as a very specific understanding of what it was he could bring to the table, not only to monetize his sexuality but also to bring some healing to clients of all kinds who could benefit from the firm hand of a trans male dom daddy. Viktor is a fascinating storyteller, so put on some headphones and fall under his captivating spell just as Adam and Cole do. Thank you Viktor, we love you, sorry not sorry!!

June is Pride Month! And in honor of this, we want to highlight the various kinds of Gender Affirming Surgery and medical care.So what is Gender Affirming Surgery? Gender Affirming Surgery (GAS), also known as gender confirmation surgery or sex reassignment surgery, encompasses a variety of surgical procedures that some transgender and non-binary individuals may choose to undergo to align their physical appearance with their gender identity. These procedures can be broadly categorized into chest surgeries, genital surgeries, facial surgeries, and other body contouring procedures. Here's a more detailed breakdown:The primary aim of gender affirming surgery is to alleviate gender dysphoria, a condition where there is a significant incongruence between one's gender identity and their physical sex characteristics. These surgeries can have profound psychological and social benefits, improving quality of life and mental health for many individuals.Let's find out more from Dr. Shubham Gupta, Chief of Reconstructive Urology at University Hospitals, Cleveland Medical Center.Dr. Shubham Gupta focuses his clinical practice on genitourinary reconstruction and cancer survivorship.

The LGBTQ+ heavy metal podcast welcomes Tom's friend (and former guest) Benjamin into the co-host chair for one week only, to discuss how George from Deafheaven and Johannes from Cult Of Luna helped provide the male role models they didn't see elsewhere, and how that helped them come to terms with their gender identity.Also, there's a brief discussion about how a Fever Ray show made Benjamin see some trans parallels (and also what Fever Ray has to do with the metal crowd), and digressions for potato waffles and an infuriating trend amongst hipster hairstyles.Plus there's the usual visit to the Hate Crew Gaybar, where Chrysalis by Finnish heavy psychedelists Polymoon, and A Violent Truth by Kentish shouty/smashy metallers Allfather, both go into the jukebox.

Let's talk about weight loss injections. If the headlines are to be believed, we've solved the puzzle of how to make fat people thin people…but have we really or is this just another diet packaged as a miracle cure? We reached out to Dr Asher Larmie to give us the inside knowledge of how these injections work, what the large companies and medical professionals are choosing not to show us, and what we know so far from the data and studies we do have.  Asher leaves no stone unturned and gives us the truth behind the glossy headlines, even as far as the links between those promoting them and the profits being made.  In this episode, Asher shares what we do and don't know about the long-term impact, the probability of weight regain, the risks involved, and all the questions you may want to ask your doctor if they attempt to prescribe this to you.  Asher is our first returning guest and we are incredibly grateful for sharing their time and knowledge with us because this is such an important conversation to have for anyone curious about weight loss injections.  Dr Asher Larmie (he/they) is a Transmasculine weight-inclusive GP and a leading expert in weight stigma.  They are a fat activist and the founder of the #noweigh campaign, which is committed to putting an end to medical weight stigma.

We cover some entirely new territory in a candid and vitally important conversation with Avi Roque, who voices Raine Whispers on The Owl House. Like many of us, Avi (they/them) had the ubiquitous "tomboy" label imposed upon them in childhood, and suffice to say it was a long and arduous road from there to their current trans/transmasculine identity. A consummate storyteller, Avi walks us through their entire journey, which includes leaning all the way into ultra-feminine stereotypes during high school, and hitting a scary rock bottom in adulthood that finally prompted them to begin the process of medically transitioning. Avi's story involves reckoning with their demons in a difficult, vulnerable, and honest way, and we hope this episode encourages nuanced dialogue about the human capacity for growth, change, and healing.(TW: mentions of assault and suicidal ideation, but nothing descriptive)Follow Avi on Instagram and TikTok at @avi_roque, and on Twitter at @ok_roque.

Today InPerspective with Dr. Harry Reeder February 3, 2022

In our final episode of Season 1, we chat with Bea (they/them) and their beautiful journey of interconnecting their indigenous agricultural upbringing to American outdoor ideals. Bea shares how working and walking their family's farmland in Mexico formed a deep connection with nature and outdoor spaces. They also chat about cultural differences regarding how their family participates in outdoor activities and the challenges they have faced when being a brown person/family at campsites and hikes. Lastly, we chat about the importance of community, gear/knowledge sharing to increase accessibility, and how we continue to build upon the generations that have come before us. E.T.O believes in providing proper compensation to folks who volunteer to speak on the podcast as their stories hold immense value. Along with offering $25 to each speaker, we encourage our listeners to make a donation to the speaker. Bea's Venmo is @flordenopalmusic

This week we speak with Reed (He/Him) and learn about his journey into becoming an outdoorsy person. We first learn about Reed's upbringing in Naples, Florida, where he attended a conservative Christian church, and how that impacted his queer journey. Reed also discusses how the outdoors has not been a part of his life until recently. Different experiences, from car commercials to a negative experience with the girl scouts, subtly taught him that the outdoors was not for folks who looked like him. Despite these barriers, Reed has recently found home and community at a local bouldering gym and shares with us how bouldering is helping him to connect more holistically with his body and gender identity.

This episode is a conversation with Finnegan Shepard who is a writer and founder of Both&--a start-up clothing brand which answers the needs of the transmasculine or gnc-identified community. The ethos of Both& is evidence-based fashion design stemming from personal conversations that creates a space for a diverse and underserved population. Each capsule drop is made in small batches and garments are sustainably and ethically produced. Finnegan, who grew up in both America and England, shares his journey of becoming an entrepreneur through being a renaissance man. Finnegan shares wisdom learned on his journey starting with a love of academia and pursuing a PhD at Cambridge to becoming the founder of a fashion brand. His nonlinear path is filled with experiences good and hard which led to discovering the importance of humanity in business. --------------------------- As we celebrate Pride month, may we be reminded of the importance of honouring the unique specialness of ourselves and each other. One of the challenges that the trans community faces is labels on dressing rooms. If you want to help, please start advocating for a friendlier retail experience for all by asking brands to remove gender specific dressing rooms. Together we can uplift and amplify the voice and visibility of the trans community. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/zara-korutz/message

Historically, the transmasculine community has been neglected by the fashion world. But Both& is a new brand looking to offer clothing tailored specifically for transmasculine bodies.

This week we are catching up with Chris Hubley, a musician, artist and art historian who is also known by his drag alter-ego Crystal Mighty. We talk about a LOT of things this episode - language and how it evolves, strange, intense platonic relationships, and DIY culture... which were all the subjects that branched off of our original reason for meeting, which was F.A.G. Club, an event night held initially in Cardiff, but for the majority of its run in Bristol. F.A.G Club was an inclusive D.I.Y night for QuAGS (queers of all genders and sexualities), that Chris put on with a group of friends after meeting them at the Queeruption, which is an annual international queercore festival. Some of the terms discussed on the episode (I stole these definitions from https://gender.wikia.org/) Transtrender, a portmanteau of the words transgender and trend, is a derogatory term used to describe someone who is pretending to be transgender for attention or for pity. Transmedicalism / transmed is broadly defined as the belief that being transgender is contingent upon experiencing gender dysphoria or undergoing medical treatment in transitioning.[1][2][3] Transmedicalists, sometimes referred to as "truscum" by themselves or others,[3][4] believe that individuals who identify as transgender but who do not experience gender dysphoria or undergo a medical transition—through methods such as sex reassignment surgery or hormone replacement therapy—are not genuinely transgender. Transmasculine is a term used to describe transgender people who generally are assigned female at birth, but identify with a masculine gender identity to a greater extent than with a feminine gender identity. Usually transmasculine people try to appear stereotypically masculine in terms in their gender expression in order to create social recognition of their dominant male identity. AFAB - Assigned Female at Birth AMAB - Assigned Male at Birth Assigned Sex (also referred to as birth sex) refers to the sex you were interpreted as at birth, which usually corresponds to the gender identity you were raised as and/or assumed to have in childhood. As a phrase, this is a way to refer to the sex that was put on your birth certificate, without making assumptions about your actual/current sex, body or identity.

Garrett brings on her new friend from the Artist's Way group, Marlee Schenieder, to talk about a courageous journey they've been on through recent top surgery. Marlee so vulnerably shares their story of how they've authentically begun to show up in the world, and help others understand their journey. Together, we discuss the various non-heteronormative labels that some transactors (and transpeople!) use to self-identify and how coining their own term "transmasculine, non-binary" has made them feel more authentically themselves. Topics we cover: -Top surgery -Expressive creativity -Stillness work, influenced by the pandemic -Hustle life in LA -Transactors; and how writers, directors and producers must work together to create roles for trans-creatives. -Balance of masculine and feminine energy within all of us -Life OUT of alignment compared to life IN alignment … and so much more! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with Marlee on IG: @bobmarlee117 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enroll in Dare To Eat 2.0: Life Coaching for Food Program now, 15% off!

"It's kind of like 'Broad City' meets 'Generation Q' with a lot of heart and a lot of humor.""I started writing the show the day after Trump was elected. I was very upset and was doing a musical theater production and just decided that I needed to channel my creative energy into something that would make a difference and help my community going forward, especially in these times that I knew were about to get much more dark.""This is actually my first film making project. It's been really, a very, very very intense learning curve.""I am a cisgendered woman and although I'm queer as fuck I can only tell so much of someone else's story.""It's really important to be making uplifting stories for our community, especially during this time. Stories that feature accurate representation across the board for queer people, but especially for trans and nonbinary folk who just really aren't represented pretty much at all. It's so hard to find good representation.""This is absolutely the most difficult journey I've ever experienced in my life. It is also the most rewarding.""I truly feel that every single person who crossed paths with me and this project was there to serve a purpose and was there for a reason. That's the only way to get through something like this because it's been so hard. No part of this has been easy.""It is really a beautiful thing to watch in completion because I am so proud of the work. And I am so proud of what was able to be created but it was only because I had to push myself through literally the darkest times of my life. Truly.  I hit rock bottom, trying to make this happen, probably at least three times.""I view it absolutely as a tool for cis het allies to be able to watch it and enjoy it and really learn from it in a safe way. It's not just a queer series for queers.""It's been an interesting balance of lots of stress, lots of frustration while also experiencing lots of joy, lots of positivity. It's been wild, just wild.Gretchen's websiteThese Thems websiteThese Thems on YouTubeThese Thems instagram These Thems FacebookThese Thems TwitterGretchen Wylder instagramVico Ortiz  instagram Shaan Dasani instagramNick Park instagramDirected by Jett GarrisonProduced by Sophia ClarkLexClexacon Gretchen's bioGretchen Wylder started her acting career in Chicago and has been a working actor in NYC for the past nine years.

In this interview, we talk with Ryan, a transmasculine birth parent, about how he felt during pregnancy and after birth. We talk about how a lack of transmasculine competency in most birth and post-birth services impacted his medical options and post-birth care, as well as how he felt not-seen, welcome, or fully supported within the community as a birth parent. He bravely shares with us the challenges of what happens when gender dysphoria intersects with pregnancy and birth.
