😬new episode!😬 #TransTuesday

Emilia Pérez is out there tearing up the awards circuit, and though it stars a trans woman, it contains one of the most damaging portrayals of trans women in recent movies.

We're gonna dive into all the reasons why, because this is what happens when cis people steal our voices and our stories.

Writer, journalist, and filmmaker @jessiegender joins us to discuss the joy of the mundane and trans Trekkies!

pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly:

so much of life
is getting flung
out of the nest
no warning
no preparation
ground rushing up
fear beating
in your heart

so help everyone you can
learn how to fly

this has been pre-coffee thoughts with Tilly

I’m doing an AMA for the Tilly’s Trans Tuesdays podcast’s 100th episode! I need questions to answer, so ask me some stuff!

I’m gonna stop taking questions after friday, so get to askin’!

TRANS HISTORY 1 is about HOW AND WHY WE NAME TRANS PEOPLE IN HISTORY

because there's been a long erasure of us, despite the fact that we've always existed

and we have to fight the "presumption of cisness" that permeates the field

includes discussions with trans historians!

https://www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2024/08/20/trans-history-1/

BOYMODE AND GIRLMODE is about how trans people often have to hide ourselves in a literal costume of the wrong gender

just to avoid being harassed, discriminated against, or worse at the hands of cis people

https://www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2024/08/14/trans-rep-in-media-2023-part-1-movies/

THE ONLY TRANS PERSON YOU KNOW is about how we’re such a small part of the population, for many us we end up as the only trans person a whole lot of people know

and sometimes we can get treated like walking databases by cis folks looking for answers

https://www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2024/08/06/the-only-trans-person-you-know/

https://www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2024/08/19/gendered-childhoods/

TRANS MOTIVATION is how, after a lifetime of not being ourselves, the desire to be who we really are can spur us to do things we never thought possible

https://www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2024/08/19/trans-motivation/

BODILY AUTONOMY (and my tattoo) is about how I could never understand why someone would want something on their body for life...

BECAUSE MY BODY NEVER FELT LIKE MINE

and how that amazingly changed after transition

TRANSMEDICALISM (and WPATH version 1) is about people who think you can't be trans if you don't (or can't) medically transition... be on HRT, and get all the surgeries

and how it stems from the byzantine, hurtful bullshit cis doctors used to put us through just to "allow" us to transition

https://www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2024/08/22/transmedicalism-and-wpath-version-1/

GENDER DYSPHORIA is about the reason for the season (for the vast majority of trans people, though not all)

it's my attempt to describe what my dysphoria was like, and what a living, walking, waking nightmare it was, and how much it hurt

includes a poem I wrote about it that hits kinda hard

https://www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2024/08/06/gender-dysphoria/

includes examples of some of the most common ones

https://www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2024/08/22/trans-microaggressions/

IMPLICIT QUEERPHOBIA is about how society worms biases into all of us

and then people who want to call themselves "allies" perpetuate anti-queer/trans biases because our stories are "different"

as told through the lens of A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN

https://www.tillystranstuesdays.com/2024/08/22/implicit-queerphobia/
