Our "Will & Harper" review, Part II 41:14

31 weeks ago41:14

41:14

We review Netflix's Will & Harper . Overall we think it's really really good and can help educate people who might need it. Faith says she can't get U.S. State Department Security Clearance because she's too weird. We agreed Mike "I'm a weird guy" Warnke is also probably ineligible. But Weird Al is pretty wholesome ; I bet he could get it. Could you get clearance? Like us on FaceBook so we can haunt your feed. Faith's book, American Transgirl , available now!

Trans Surgeries for Prisoners 29:39

We're in the news again, yay. First, the stats: The US held 21.0% of the world's prisoners in 2015, even though the US represented only around 4.4 percent of the world's population in 2015. The Wikipedia site "Comparison of United States incarceration rate with other countries" has additional sobering stats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_United_States_incarceration_rate_with_other_countries#:~:text=The%202021%20US%20incarceration%20rate,in%20adult%20facilities%20in%202015 . Highlights of Kamala's fox interview https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbNxiLaY6I0 Alford plea (not "Alfred" plea): https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/alford_plea An Alford plea, also known as a "best-interests plea," registers a formal admission of guilt towards charges in criminal court while the defendant simultaneously expresses their innocence toward those same charges.(It) skips the full process of a criminal trial because the defendant agrees to accept all the ramifications of a guilty verdict (i.e. punishment). Prisoners were left to their own devices during Hurricanes Milton, Florence, and Katrina: https://www.ncja.org/crimeandjusticenews/some-florida-jails-and-prisons-evacuated-ahead-of-milton-but-many-incarcerated-remained-in-storm-s The number of inmates requesting gender affirming surgery every year is miniscule, according to Bureau of Prisons. There have been only two known surgeries approved via court action. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/16/us/politics/trump-prisons-transgender-care-harris.html Trans folx are more likely to be a victim of a crime: https://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/ncvs-trans-press-release/ Let's step outside of prison for a minute. The #1 most common gender affirming surgery in minors? Researchers found roughly 150 cases in which a minor received gender-affirming surgery in 2019. But of those cases, 146 — about 97% — were chest reduction surgeries performed on cisgender male youth, constituting gender-affirming care for conditions like gynecomastia (which can develop nearly half the time among those undergoing testosterone-dominant puberty). https://www.them.us/story/gender-affirming-surgery-vast-majority-cis-kids-study…

She's the Man 1:23:19

Faith and Kath are surprised that they liked this movie so much. Remember Amanda Bynes? She's so funny and we at TGR Headquarters wish her well. The movie is helped by surprisingly funny Channing Tatum in his first movie role and a bonkers story by Billy Shakespeare. Apparently pretending to be the opposite sex is stressful and Bynes said she struggled with depression for months after seeing herself onscreen. Sounds like gender dysphoria is hard even in small doses. Like us on FaceBook so we can haunt your feed. Faith's book, American Transgirl , available now!

Some Like It Trans 48:21

Today we watched director Billy Wilder's 1959 hit Some Like It Hot , winner of 11 Academy Awards. Our feelings are... complicated. But for a movie with cross-dressing, produced in compliance with the Hays Code 's absurd limitations, it is actually pretty cool. Marilyn Monroe's character gave off "Born Sexy Yesterday" vibes. Pop Culture Detective coined the phrase for characters like The Fifth Element 's Leeloo; learn more here ! In 2023, J. Harrison Ghee won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for their performance in the Broadway musical, the second out nonbinary actor to win the award. (Mere MINUTES after Alex Newell, the first out nonbinary Tony winner. So close!) I know what you're thinking-- Best Actor? Nonbinary person? Well, there is a larger conversation happening about gendered award categories for major performance awards. Maybe we'll see some changes in the future. Like us on FaceBook so we can haunt your feed.

I Saw the TV Glow: The Rebels Go To the Movies 27:13

1 year ago27:13

27:13

Yesterday we went to I Saw The TV Glow followed by a Q&A with writer/ director Jane Schoenbrun. Brigette Lundy-Paine and Justice Smith star in a coming-of-age story where two junior high outsiders find each other and bond over a creepy Buffy The Vampire Slayer -like TV show. The show gets darker and the protagonists' ties to reality start to loosen. We've loved Brigette Lundy-Paine ever since Atypical and see all their work-- even Amelia's Children , yikes.) Unlike Amelia's Children , I Saw The TV Glow was excellent: dark and strange and sad, with an amazing soundtrack. We highly recommend it! Topics of conversation covered: Buffy creator Joss Whedon is a terrible person The Cocteau Twins has an album The Pink Opaque Our episode on Bringing people into the closet with you Faith like the band Velocity Girl Faith's blog is still up!

You Can Get SRS and Still Be a Good Leftist 23:36

This week we saw a reddit post that asked "Would I be a bad leftist if I get SRS?" It started with "my ex told me that girls who get SRS are an obstacle for trans liberation." Wow. We knew Faith needed to weigh in. Caution: we make pretend sex noises throughout this ep. Try to not get too turned on, thanks.

Movement for Transwomen 38:43

Listener Claire asks a great question about how to move in a more feminine way. We can't all be ballerinas or elegant gliding angles on ice like the truck drivers of Manitoba, but we can all take some yoga or barre, work on our posture, get video to track our progress, and attempt to emulate the Playboy bunny walk. But ultimately, it all comes down to practice. Barre class and how to pronounce it . (It's just "bar", y'all.) Frances Ha starring (probable possible likely Academy Award winning director of "Barbie") Greta Gerwig where the character Frances has a "weird man walk". Fashion Week staffers work for free. What's Guelph ? Faith loves her chirp wheel because her shoulders and neck get super tight from sitting at her desk.

Fight Your Health Insurance to Get Your FFS Covered 31:59

2 years ago31:59

31:59

Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is not covered by some health plans. If your health insurance company says they won't pay for a surgery you need, you can appeal that decision. Listener Robin asks for tips from Faith, who succeeded with her appeal on her third try. Our other FFS episodes: Faith F's her F Part I Faith F's her F Part II Faith vs Her Health Insurance "Insemination style genitalia" and "gestational genitalia" are terms that Faith thought up in her weird brain and we do NOT recommend googling them. Kath thinks AFAB and AMAB are adequate. Faith learned about appealing decisions from your health insurance at the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference . There was no 2023 conference but there will be one in 2024 and we will see you there! Legal aid societies that can help you with your appeal, for each state. Faith said people with gestational genitalia (aka AFAB people or people who were assigned female at birth) "retain neoteny". Neoteny refers to child-like facial characteristics. These “neotenous” characteristics include a large forehead with lower set eyes, nose and mouth; a smaller, shorter, more recessive chin; fuller lips; larger eyes; a smaller nose; higher, thinner eyebrows; and a rounder, less angular face. This can be (but is not always) associated with attractiveness, to some people. Our old video of conventionally attractive people whose facial features are androgynous or even skew toward those of the opposite gender included the jerk Ezra Miller. Join us in cancelling that creep. Faith's surgeon, Bella Avanessian, MD at Mt Sinai, also has Jazz Jennings as a patient. See Dr. A. in this video as a baby doctor, just starting her surgical fellowship. Legal Eagle YouTuber has an episode about arbitrators and also "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia". Former New York State governor Mario Cuomo groped staff members and helped the LGBTQ+ community a lot . Those are two uncomfortable truths we have to live with.…

Why Are the Evangelicals So Scared? 49:22

Ken Ham founded the Creation Museum and Faith got extra credit for going to see him speak on--what else?-- science. This is a cool diagram of all the metabolic processes . Kath remembers each and every detail of this diagram, even now, 20 long years since her graduate biochem class. Amanda The Jedi reacting to "Pure Flix" , the Christian alternative to Netflix. Her other videos are really good, too. Bob Jones University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) as of 2017 and the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools as of 2011. The Kids in the Hall sketch Homo Alone. At 3:30 in this video , Pat Robertson says people in San Francisco wear rings to give other people AIDS. The southern strategy linked the GOP with racists and evangelicals. Check out Self Made Kingz for cool shirts!

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." We misattributed this quote to Lee Atwater. It was in fact Lyndon B. Johnson . Don't feel bad for Atwater; he was no peach either. Here's audio of him spelling out how Republicans should signal that they support racist policies without actually saying racist things. TW for some seriously fucking brutal racial terms. Fauci could have handled the AIDS crisis better. This Frontline tells you all about it. The Justins in Tennessee. (the link is a gift article; enjoy!) The GOP won't change their policies to get more voters. They'll just get rid of democracy . Protest works. There were sustained protests in East Germany before the wall fell like the Leipzig prayer protests every Monday . ACT UP used unapologetically confrontational die-ins to force progress on AIDS funding, research, and treatments. Conservatives don't want their kids learning about Ruby Bridges or Rosa Parks . RIP Congressman John Lewis and let's all make good trouble . Buy Faith's book !

We're back with even more songs. And this ain't all, there's still a part 3 in your future! In this episode, we discuss: Fraulein Wunder Wenn Ich Ein Junge War or "If I Were A Boy". Faith's judgment: a good song. The Soviettes Middle of the Night Hole My Beautiful Son and the link shows you a picture of Kurt Cobain looking pretty in a dress and lipstick and pearls at 0:52 Lords of Acid I Like It (best known for the song The Crab Louse about pubic crabs) James Laid St Vincent has a song about Candy Darling Green Day King for A Day The Replacements and Peter Buck Androgynous Laura Jane Grace is lead singer of Against Me! and she transitioned in public. One of the band's albums is Transgender Dysphoria Blues . Pitchfork hates every album. Trans or queer musicians: Kim Petras Romy Haag Pete Burns of Dead of Alive which you know from "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)". Kurt Cobain New York Dolls David Bowie Getting a used toaster as wedding gift is just one of the many objectifying, dehumanizing virginity metaphors Faith was taught. But sure, let's follow that comparison to its conclusion. A used toaster? What if it's just the right toaster for you? What if it's amazing, and it sees you and treasures you for who you are, and it makes you laugh, and it shares your values and interests? Yes, then I wouldn't care if the toaster has a few crumbs in its tray from a previous owner. Buy Faith's book !

In this ep, we discussed: Aerosmith's Dude Looks Like A Lady . Faith's judgment: Not a good song. Here's a picture of Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe (not Poison; apologies to both Mr. Crüe and Mr. Poison), for reference. Hair metal , for reference including two cool lists of Top 10 Best and Bottom 5 Worst Hair Metal Bands. The Kinks Lola . Faith's judgment: Good song but not on her mix or karaoke list. Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground Take a Walk on the Wild Side (Faith's judgment: good song and not on her karaoke list) and Candy Says (Faith's judgment: same-- good song and not on her karaoke list) Learn about: Candy Darling ! Andy Warhol's Factory ! Joe Delassandro ! The Community commercial where they say " meet different people! " Many familiar crabs are of the genus Cancer Suzanne Vega As Girls Go . Faith's judgment: not a good song. Matt Baum's Culture Cruise on YouTube talks about the representation of gays in TV and movies. Madonna's What It Feels Like For A Girl .
