The holidays are over, 2019 is here, and we are back in your ears! This week's episode is all about selfcare - a topic that may be of central importance after potentially spending time with folks through the holidays that may not be 100% supportive, on-board with your life, or in-line with your values.
Selfcare means many things (listen to the episode to learn more about what we think about selfcare and trans folks in particular) ...

We’re back with the second and final part of our episodes on internalized transphobia. This week we focus on what we have each done to work on our own internalized transphobia, some suggests for ways to start working on it, and an important ally moment.
In the episode Sam offers up Dr. Brené Brown's TED talk as a great place to start, so I went to include a link to that TED talk – and two TED talks came up, so I’ve linked to them b...
Internalized transphobia is a subject rarely discussed in the Trans community, but is a subject critical to understanding the ways that shame and social expectations, and the ways we have soaked those up (whether we want to or not) have an impact on our lives. This is the first in a two part episode, ‘cause there’s a lot to cover!
Here are a few articles about internalized transphobia that might be helpful to checkout.

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) takes place every November 20th. It is the day when the trans community memorializes those we have lost to violence, discrimination, neglect - to all forms of anti-trans violence over the past year.

For trans folks today can be dif...

The Trump Administration’s attacks on the trans and gender non-conforming community continue. Today we discuss the proposed change to the legal definition of sex (and gender, since the two are conflated legally). This change would be incredibly harmful to trans and gender non-conforming people. Please note, we’ve recorded this less than 24 hours after the release of the information – so the emotions are raw and we’ve done our best ...
