Episode 10: Gender Expression - Expectation; Presentation

Download
Trigger Warnings:
Homophobia
Transphobia
Violence towards members of the LGBT community
~Please be a responsible listener.~

Tune in to find out how questionnaires should not ask about gender, the stereotypical LGBTQ+ job, and how white we are. We turn to personal experiences, such as with school dress codes, in our discussion of gender presentation and how it relates to gender identities. Sources mentioned in this episode can be found at the bottom of these notes.

On a different note, if anyone has any knowledge/experience with race issues and would like to be on our show, please reach out to us at geometricoctopus@gmail.com.

Episode 7: Gatekeeping & A Word On Leelah Alcorn

Trigger Warnings:
Ostracization
Homophobia
Transphobia
Suicide & Self-Endangerment
Sexual Abuse
Violence against people of the LGBT community.
Torture
Surgery
Victimization of children
Pedophilia
~Please be a responsible listener.~

In this episode we start off talking about surgery on vocal cords and the gatekeeping on certain terms, two things which aren’t necessarily related. Then we mention Leelah Alcorn and conversion therapy, two things which are very much related. If we’ve learned anything from the life and death of Leelah Alcorn, it’s that transgender youth need acceptance and that conversion therapy must end. Conversion therapy is not only a denial of the validity of someone’s sexual or gender identity, but also a heinous torture.

On the brighter side, we throw Stonewall and Laverne Cox some love.
