NOTE ON SOUND QUALITY: We had a rough patch with recording this week, we know there's a bit of echo at some parts. We're on it!

Melody and Raechel take time to address the Aziz Ansari article (and the responses that followed), and answer listener questions about reconciling potentially-conflicting political ideologies (militant Marxism and transformative justice), feminism and make-up, "toxic femininity", and more. Plus, Accountability Corner is back to address autism on last week's episode.

WTF (women/trans/femme) POWER!

We are so excited to use this episode as an opportunity to share friend-of-the-show Molly Woodstock's new podcast, Gender Reveal. Gender reveal is "a queer podcast that centers non-binary, transgender, and gender nonconforming folks." Molly and their guests try to answer the question, "What even is gender?" We loved Molly's first podcast (Smash Everything) and we are even more blown away with this one! We think you will be too. Subscribe to Gender Reveal and, if you're able, donate to the Gender Reveal Patreon!

New FKJPHD ep will be up Tuesday!

WTF (women/trans/femme) POWER!

Today we have the pleasure of closing out 2017 with some intentions, resolutions, and revolutions from our FKJPHD family. We gathered voicemails from killjoys who want to practice radical self-love, go on more dates, engage with transformative justice, do less, let go of what doesn't serve them, and much much more. We hope you enjoy. <3
