Returning sexy guest Ben Appel recently wrote about genderism and other political ideologies infiltrating Alcoholics Anonymous despite its 10th Tradition prohibiting alignment with outside issues. But what is a “Tradition” anyway? Ben and Nina possibly violate the 11th Tradition (“always maintain personal anonymity at the level of press, radio, and films”) in an attempt to describe the wacky, brilliant, not-really-a-cult-except-sometimes, life-changing, spiritual, occasionally smelly world of 12-Step recovery programs. Corinna learns the difference between AA and Al-Anon; Nina wishes she believed in god and says “irrational problems demand irrational solutions”; and Ben talks about compulsive praying and his upcoming book, “Cis White Gay,” along with a ton of other interesting topics. Another great episode! Keep coming back!
@hyoomin I will discuss with Corinna. That Twitter account denounced and blocked me for creating the TERF-Tranny Alliance. Would be an interesting podcast guest.
@tangleofsnakes Especially when it's someone under 60. If you don't give the cause of death in the obit, we're just gonna assume it's suicide/drug overdose so tell us already!
For example, this morning I went on a club ride and did chit-chat and mentioned I’m going to the ICONS of sport conference in Denver, because I want men out of women’s sports, and the guy adjacent to me said, “you mean transwomen??” and I said, “they’re men” and he said, “well I have no opinion, except it sounds an awful lot like when they kept black players out of the National Baseball League.”
@xzy45 TERF-centered. Like how Spinster is woman-centered but as long as people follow the rules they can be here too.
I was thinking of what else to call it: heterodox cyclists? Free-thinking cyclists? But what I mean is, "place where those of us outcast and condemned as 'TERF's are welcome". That's my bar for entry. It's what would have been called "inclusive" before that word got corrupted to mean its opposite.
