Is It Transphobic Podcast

Today Ashley is joined by her good friend Jonathan Alexandratos to talk about The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang!  We highly reccommend you read this graphic novel ahead of time as we will be diving right into spoiler territory but both Ashley and Jonathan found the piece to be incredibly fun and affirming (While acknowledging that there is a forced reveal near the end of the book, just to warn).

Ashley and her good friend Rachel sit down and talk about a movie they love...  BIRDS OF PREY!  "But wait Ashley," I hear you saying, "there were no openly trans/NB characters in BoP!"  Aaaaaand yeah... you're right BUT looking at media from a TGNC lens isn't just about analyzing TGNC media! No YOU just wanted an excuse to talk about a movie with badass, complicated, and interesting women that is simultaneously well put together and fun as hell!

Ashley is joined again by Jonathan Alexandratos as they take a look at the Robin Williams film Mrs. Doubtfire and speculate how the producers of the upcoming Broadway musical could make it better (if it can be..).  Does it still hold up?  Is it more than just a tired "Man in a dress" joke?  More importantly... Is It Transphobic?
