What happens when a short 39-year-old non binary butch with ADHD and a tall 39-year-old trans femme with ADHD get together? Listen to me talk to my dear friend, Niko Stratis and find out! A couple of weeks ago, we sat down and talked about parents saying "I love you", the good/bad/ugly of trans and queer twitter and what it's like to be extremely online as a trans woman. The Ebb! The Flow! What a time to be alive!

On this episode I discuss, somewhat vaguely, the difference between corporate pride and the riot. Divergent topics include my roots, actions before stonewall, historical conflation and the difference between the gays and the queers. I also get a bit worked up.  (there are some mic pops at the beginning, sorry!) aside: I video recorded a portion of this episode that will be exclusive to Patreon, so if you want to see my tiny little wine glass, become a patron! https://www.patreon.com/butchfemmepodcast [https://www.patreon.com/butchfemmepodcast] NOTES AND RESOURCES * Indian Residential Schools Survivors Society - https://www.irsss.ca [https://www.irsss.ca/] * NYSHN - https://nativeyouthsexualhealth.com [https://nativeyouthsexualhealth.com/] * The Residential School System in “Canada” - https://indigenousfoundations.arts.ubc.ca/the_residential_school_system/ [https://indigenousfoundations.arts.ubc.ca/the_residential_school_system/] * Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls - https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca [https://www.mmiwg-ffada.ca] * UNDRIP - https://www.un.org/development/desa/indigenouspeoples/declaration-on-the-rights-of-indigenous-peoples.html [https://www.un.org/development/desa/indigenouspeoples/declaration-on-the-rights-of-indigenous-peoples.html] * Breaking the Silence - https://www.bctf.ca/uploadedFiles/Public/AboriginalEd/PoH/BreakingTheSilence.pdf * Dead but Delicious - https://daemonumx.substack.com [https://daemonumx.substack.com] * @daemonumx [instagram/twitter] Support the show [https://patreon.com/butchfemmepodcast] (https://patreon.com/butchfemmepodcast)

Hi! Hello! This episode, we introduce a new segment: DISPATCHES. Last week, I reached out and asked you to submit voice recordings answering and expanding on some questions as a starting off point; a place from which you could branch out and move the narrative in the direction that felt important to you.  I asked you: What do you love about being femme or butch? If you don’t align with or identify as femme or butch, what do these genders or gender expressions mean to you in an historical context, or when thinking about our elders? What is hard for you about being femme or butch in a contemporary context? And lastly, who are your femme and butch roots? And golly, did you deliver!  Thank you to Stevie, René, Ziya, Lianne and Arti for being so generous with your time and insight. I'm deeply moved and charmed by your offerings. Don't worry if you missed this week! Submissions are ongoing. Follow us on instagram for the next round, or send something in anytime! butchfemmepodcast@gmail.com please SUBSCRIBE, rate and share with your big queer pals! byeeeeeeee REFERENCES “Being Billie Dawn” by Savannah Monroe garbo-talks.com [http://garbo-talks.com] butchfemmepodcast.buzzsprout.com [http://butchfemmepodcast.buzzsprout.com] MUSIC [from The Free Music Archive] Crowander - The Puddle Crowander - Floating Autumn Crowander - Hilltop Crowander - Bye Bye Support the show [https://patreon.com/butchfemmepodcast] (https://patreon.com/butchfemmepodcast)

In this episode, we discuss the intersections of Judy Holliday, the origin of the bimbo/dumb blonde character and the femme/butch bar scene in 1940s-50s Greenwich Village, New York City. I get very invested and fall so deep into the rabbit hole that I can barely conceal how hard I'm swooning. Everything ends abruptly, but in a satisfying way. Like bubble tea.

Assigned female at birth, Catalina (Antonio) de Erauso was held in a convent, destined to become a nun – until she turned 15, cut her hair short, refashioned her habit into masculine clothing and escaped to a life of adventure. The highly controversial history of Erauso’s memoir was so wild that it is thought to be mostly fictional. For this episode, a donation was made to Rainbow Railroad [https://www.rainbowrailroad.org/whatwedo],  an organization based out of Toronto that provides "solutions for LGBTQI people who need immediate assistance because they are facing a serious threat to their lives and safety".
