True Tea w/ Kat Blaque
Based on a previous discussion we had, I thought I'd speak about my desires to have or not have children and how it relates to my transness or doesn't. As an adoptee, I have some pretty strong feelings about adoption and being ready when you have children. I thought I'd share my thoughts on having children and open the question up to my audience.

36:24This month I asked if being polyamorous makes someone part of the queer commuity and I got a lot of very surprising answers to this question on this month's show. A grad student working on his thesis tells me a few stories of the discrimination his cis heterosexual subjects experienced while being openly polyamorous. A person from Utah shares some surprising insight into the Church of Latter Day Saints and their condemnation of polyamorous relationships. Two callers question my framing of the topic alltogether. I learned so much from this episode. I hope you do too!!

As a polyamorous person who some see as queer, I figured I'd share my thoughts about whether or not being polyamorous on its own defines you as queer.

30:58After sharing my thoughts, I thought I would ask my audience how they felt about the term queer. For some it's a word that's too vague to speak to their experiences, and for other, the vagueness is the appeal.

True Tea w/ Kat Blaque
"Queer" is a term I've always had a very complex relationship with. On one hand, I respect that as a transgender woman, I will always be seen by as outside of heterosexist norms by many. Yet it's hard for me to reconcile the reality of my lived experience where people tend to assume I'm a cis woman and by proxy, heterosexual. I've lived most of my life entrenched comfortably in a very heteronormative life, despite my transness; so it's hard for me to feel like "queer" is a truthful term for me, even as I attempt to form more community with queer people. In this episode, I share my personal feelings around how claiming queerness, for me, often feels like "stolen valor"; and how I reject the essentialized nature of always being seen as queer becaue of how I was designated at birth.

48:31This month, we discussed AI Art and its ethics. In this call-in show, I spoke to several different people who all offered different perspectives on AI art and its impact. We had a great conversation about how it's impacting upcoming artists and asked the question "how long have artists been able to sustain themselves as they currently do". Are the artists who reject AI art simply elitists? Audio editing by Silvana Alcala Support the show If you enjoy the podcast, help support it by joining my Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katblaque…

True Tea w/ Kat Blaque
A few days ago, I found an acquaintance of mine trying to sell AI portraits of popular characters in baby form. His only challenge was plugging in specific descriptions of the images he wanted and a computer generated images for him to sell and increase his reach. Since seeing that one post, he's made several more and produced more "art" in a shorter period of time than most artists are able to do by hand. The worst part? His images would exist without stealing from living artists. Artists whose signatures are clearly visible through the program shoddily trying to reference the image. Stable Diffusion is amazing technology with a lot of benefits, but it's connected to much darker, more upsetting realities and it's my belief that the debate we have around it is a precursor to slowly but surely removing the human artist as a worker. Automation is helpful in many ways, but what happens to art when it has no soul? Support the show If you enjoy the podcast, help support it by joining my Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katblaque…

46:13This month, we're having a conversation about how young is too young to be transgender. It's a rather rhetorical question because obviously anyone at any age can identify or understand themselves as transgender, but when it comes to trans care, there are some rather complicated realities that are often brushed under the rug in this conversation in order to placate to the false concerns of transphobes. In this episode, I speak to several people who transitioned young or debated transitioning young who ultimately realized that transgender care is complicated and made even more so with harsh laws that shallowly push transgender kids in one direction or another.

With increased antagonism towards transgender children receiving care, I thought it would be a good idea to have an open conversation about the benefits of transitioning young; with a few caveats based on my own experiencing transitioning young.

11:24Despite being overtly sex positive, I'm not really a person who jumps into the bed with people and for that reason, some people have suggested that I may be demisexual. For me, this is strange because I think most people tend not to rush into sex, but maybe hook up culture has made that feeling rare enough that it deserves its own sexual designation? In this episode, I speak about demisexuality as a term and how I feel it does and doesn't apply to me.

33:55We continue our conversation about "pretty privilege", wether it exists and if the concept can be differentiated from other isms. We hear from a white transgender man who experienced "pretty privilege", a South Asian woman who grew up with a thinner, lighter skin sibling who was always treated better than her and a man from Brazil who speaks about Brazil's unique and not so unique view on who exactly gets to be seen as pretty in a predominately mixed country.

The concept of "pretty privilege" is an interesting one for me. On one hand, I don't doubt it's existence and frankly, I've benefited from it. However, quite frequently. when I unpack what's considered attractive in the United States, it seems hard to differentiate it from other isms like racism, fatphobia and ableism. So I question if it is truly a "privilege" at all, but an embodiment of other isms. Support the show If you enjoy the podcast, help support it by joining my Patreon: http://www.patreon.com/katblaque…
