What CIS people DON'T understand about transition

Cis people -- mainly the transphobic ones , but some "allies" as well -- are often fed propaganda about trans people & how transition works, so we wanted to set the record straight! In this PART TWO of our "what cis people & transphobes don't understand about transition and trans people" episode, we explain why people misunderstand so much about the process!

In this episode, we explore a number of misconceptions about transition: the early life of trans people, going through puberty as an adult, child-like joy, the bra phase, how it feels to finally love yourself, how being trans in a world that hates us is POWER, the ways that femininity is sexualized (and how that plays a HUGE role in transmisogyny), TERF projection, why it's so easy for cis people to mistake trans joy as sexual, ped0 culture, why the world was so angry with Dylan Mulvaney, how the experiences of trans men differ from trans women, why trans men are usually IDEAL mean, and how patriarchy plays a role in ALL of this.

Emotional HRT changes that you (probably) DON'T know about! (Pt 2)

Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is one of the MOST crucial and LEAST understood aspects of transition. Most TERFy people don't even seem to know or understand THAT we (trans people) take hormones, let alone what they DO to our bodies and our minds. They insist that we're "men wearing a dress & makeup" while completely overlooking the RADICAL changes that our bodies undergo due to feminizing hormones. From breast growth to fat redistribution to LITERAL, MEASURABLE changes to the shape of our brains... this episode is gonna open your minds to the vast and misunderstood world of HRT.

Ability to penetrate? Not anymore! Today, we're mainly focusing on the EMOTIONAL, MENTAL, and SPIRITUAL changes that occur when we go on HRT. Our mental health improves dramatically, and we're literally capable of feeling and expressing NEW emotions that we never previously knew existed! We're gonna walk you through all of it today. So... what *DOES* HRT do to trans people?

What transphobes DON'T understand about TRANS people (Part 1)

Cis people -- mainly the transphobic ones (some "allies" as well) -- are often fed propaganda about trans people and how transition works, so we wanted to set the record straight (gay). We explain a number of misconceptions about transition and the early life of trans people, health discrimination, the weird "oppression olympics" game that people play, why it's so hard for people to wrap their heads around what it's like to be trans, and how privilege plays into all of it!

First, we explore HOW someone becomes a TERF using Laura's real experience having almost been sucked down that pipeline online, then we explain a number of misconceptions about transition: the early life of trans people, health discrimination, the weird "oppression olympics" game that people play, why it's so hard for people to wrap their heads around what it's like to be trans, p*nis envy, and how privilege plays into all of it!

Were Trans Women socialized as MEN??

TERFs love to say that Trans Women can't be "real women" because they were "socialized as men," or "experienced male privilege," so we're here to explore how socialization plays into gender and self-identity and whether or not it plays any role in the way that trans women exist!

In this episode, we break down FIVE (5!) different TERFy ideas about how trans women are "socialized male," including that they "think like men," "didn't experience sexualization as a child," experienced "male socialization," enjoyed "male privilege," and never had to suffer the agonies of a period. Is there ANY truth to their ideas, or is it just transphobia all the way down??
