CONTENT WARNING FOR TRANSPHOBIA

Spoilers for the end of the book from 34 minutes.

In this episode, Aífe reads a Shojo manga from 1978. Even more confusingly, it's set in France. Even more confusingly, it's set in a version of early 20thc France which has skinny jeans AND landed gentry. Don't worry about it.

We get a little history lesson on Shojo, France, and calendars.

Discussion points include: the Y2K of king death; Ciara's fear of huge anime titties; historical dramas with jeans.

Content Warnings for discussions of: in-text transphobia; medicalisation of trans experiences; misgendering; murder; arson; suicide; relationships with power imbalances; relationships with age differences; real-world transphobia; real-world homophobia.
