Every trans person who ends their life because they can't find acceptance among family, community, or society, is one death too many.
We can do better, and it actually takes less energy to not be an asshole about it than it takes to be a bigot.
Indifference for the improvement.
Love and acceptance for the win.

People whining about politically correct critical race theory diversity inclusivity and equity wokeness damaging their ability to make their friends laugh is a common and extremely stupid way by which some dullards try to write trans people out of cultural consideration.
This episode makes it clear that people can tell whatever jokes they want but that me not laughing at their efforts, or even me telling them to go fuck themselves because I don't like them because of their shitty jokes, doesn't in any way affect their freedom of speech or ability to use slurs and shitty premises in their attempts to make themselves feel funny.
I've seen people kicking downhill at our trans community members from their position of privilege on stage and screen and quantifiably enjoyed more laughs cleaning up after unattended deaths (in part because my colleagues in the trauma cleaning industry are funny fuckers and you really need to laugh in those situations, and in part because lashing out at the powerless is a shit move and seeing people do it makes me dislike those people).

People are falling out of their trees about trans athletes taking part in sports. Why they chose to climb those trees in the first place is beyond me.
This episode I map why those trees aren't a sensible means to gain altitude or perspective.

While trans men and the non-binary aren't invisible to Australian bigots it's trans women on the receiving end of most of their venom. A lot of the bigotry ranged against them is couched among flawed definitions of what a woman is, and by extension what a woman is not.
This episode I do my best to sort out the bigot chaff from the historical, and therefore also bigoted, definition of womanhood, thereby leaving bigots little room to move in their bullshit attempts at reasoning and rhetoric.
And if you ever find yourself painted into a corner as hard as the assholes I mention in this episode, look to your own hand for the brush in the first pass. Could be your wrong about something.

A scientist's perspective on how information is misinterpreted and spread by bigoted attempts to villify trans people, with some additional insights on freedom of speech and unrecognised privilege.

It was only on listening to the published episode I realised I cover the same ground regarding bathroom use twice, but I figured since that's such a big ticket bigot talking point I'd leave the redundancy in place to double up the attention, tautologically.

How I came to my understanding of the problems trans people face and why I started this series.
