Coming out can be such a complicated and difficult thing for so many of us. Let's talk about what's involved, how often we have to do it, and why we do it at all... and how the most important thing is that you do it when and how is right for you. Nobody else gets to tell you how to do it! Storyboard artist Nazul "Suli" Sobrino returns to discuss jumping all the way in and how spite is a great motivator! Gimme those goosebumps!

Birthdays can be rough for many people, but they can be extra difficult for trans people pre-transition... because why is a waking death worth celebrating? We discuss how tough they were, and how discombobulating it was during transition when that all started to change. Storyboard artist Nazul "Suli" Sobrino joins us to discuss how there's so many good things, and sometimes there's no other option. Why would you give a five year ol...

So what happens when trans youth are old enough for puberty blockers? What do they have to go through to get access to that care?

And we discuss the lengths good parents will go to in order to keep their kids safe. Karla, the cis mom of a trans kid, returns to discuss finding your humanity. Trans care is more i...

Trans kids exist, and they need your support. No, they're not getting surgeries... but cis kids and intersex kids sure are! Hopefully that bothers you, but it sure doesn't bother the people trying to take away the literally lifesaving care that trans kids need. Get a whole mountain of facts within, so you finally understand what's really going on (and why the entire legitimate professional healthcare industry is opposed to outlawin...

So what does the science say about trans people and sports? You're not gonna believe this (yes you will), but it's entirely on the side of... trans people. So are elite cis women athletes. So what's the reason behind this push to keep trans women out of women's sports? Bigotry! And yes, we have proof (they've actually admitted it). Also a whole lot of sexism and the belief cis men are simply the best at everything and get super mad...

Trans people in sports?! Huge if true. Republicans would have you believe this is a national emergency of the utmost unfairness, and for some reason a lot of otherwise good allies fall into the "well I just don't know about sports..." trap. So let's talk about where the origins of policing trans bodies in sports comes from (spoilers: it's literally the nazis), and how "unfair advantages" are actually what sports are all about. And ...

Physical touch is something I've struggled with for most of my life, because it's invariably tangled up in my gender dysphoria, and I was so surprised to see how it all shifted for me after transition. And I'm not alone! I've seen so many trans and nonbinary people struggle with it, so I ran a survey to get your thoughts, and you flooded me with them! This week I'm going to discuss my own complicated feelings on the topic, and then...

We're back with the meaty middle part of our discussion of Ad Astra Per Aspera! We're going to talk about cis hypocrisy, how some cis people experience so much fear that they might be trans that it motivates their transphobia, and how being "one of the good ones" won't save us. Critic and journalist Maureen Ryan returns to discuss being book birthday buddies and how the bar is in hell! I don't want to hurt other people just to help...

Body hair! Love it or hate it, it's something nearly every human has to deal with. And for those of us who hate it, whose dysphoria it makes worse, that can mean a whole intensive process to get rid of it. So let's talk about what all that entails, and why we'd go through it just to have to do it all over again. And again. And again.
