This week Betsy and Bobby take a bit of a deeper dive into the concepts of gender dysphoria and euphoria; and offer a different framing that can help cis people better understand them and be more effective allies.

Euphoric About Dysphoria

Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about trans people but were too afraid to ask (and everything you’ve wanted to say to cis people but didn’t have the patience).

Each week a trans woman sits down with her cisgender friend and has awkward conversations so you don’t have to.

It’s good to be back!! This week Betsy and Bobby slap together a little conversation about the 1999 classic sci-fi film “The Matrix” …..and then we spend an hour talking about the sorry state of affairs in which we all find ourselves. It was fun to get back on the mic and we will do our best moving forward but in the meantime try not to let Betsy’s nihilism get you down.

Everything You Thought You Knew About 'The Matrix' is Wrong

I think (I think) we’ve gotten through the Trans 101 stuff with this episode. This week Betsy and Bobby go over a non-comprehensive list of gender identities and sexualities, but also have a bit of a spat about attraction and disclosure. Don’t worry, we still love each other and you very much.  And of course it wouldn’t be us if we didn’t go on an extended esoteric riff and talk trash on some horrible people.

She Thinks My Gender's Sexy

The COmbined Gender Identity And Transsexuality Inventory (COGIATI) is a 65-question test developed in the late ‘90s that was intended to assess whether the taker is a transfeminine person (spoiler: it doesn’t). There are plenty of issues with the test but we thought it would be fun to have Betsy give Bobby the test and it definitely was. Cons of this episode: -It will take up most of your afternoon -Betsy only rants about one (1) terrible person Pros of this episode: -It’s a lot of fun (47:00-57:00 we really lose it) -Betsy and Bobby do some bonding so you learn a little more about us!

Bobby Takes the COGIATI!!

This week Betsy and Bobby go over the most obsessed over and inappropriately asked about topic in the world of Transdom - healthcare. There are number of actually serious issues touched on but this episode is heavy on the juice that cis people seem to want so much: hormones and surgeries (we gotta get through this Trans 101 stuff first, I’m sorry). Big thank you to Betsy’s friend Kit for help with this episode Find the show on Twitter @ciseducationpod, on Facebook @CiseducationPod and now on Reddit @Ciseducationpodcast.
