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...

It's time to wrap up this installment of Tillyvision, as Star Trek: Strange New World's "Ad Astra Per Aspera" comes to a close!

We're back with the meaty middle part of our discussion of Ad Astra Per Aspera!

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. Comic writer Zoe Tunnell joins us to discuss feeling better in yourself and going buckwild in comic...

There's a phenomena that happens a lot in the trans and queer community that's hard to define, but when you're so used to having to fight for every single little thing you deserve, it's too easy to sometimes go too far and end up hurting people.
