You hear it a lot these days: "Trans People just came out of nowhere!", "This whole transgender thing is a made up fad!", "There's no evidence of trans people ever existing before!"

Except... none of that is true. Before colonialism, before Christianity, before patriarchy... there were trans people. Trans people were such a natural part of humanity, that transgender people existed in nearly every indigenous and pre-colonial culture across the entire globe. Not only that, but those trans people were seen as 'closer to god,' and in nearly every society, were chosen as spiritual and religious leaders, sometimes being the only ones trusted to choose the King.

Much of that history was lost to the violence of missionaries and colonizers, but some of it remained. Today, we're covering FOUR of those cultures, and the history of the gender-differing people within them. Namely, the Hijra, Kathoey, Muxe, and Bakla.

What does it mean to be intersex? How many intersex people are in the world? How many different variations (that we know of) currently exist? Is it possible to be intersex and not know? (yes) Why are people so obsessed with performing nonconsensual surgery on newborns?! How much overlap is there between Intersex and Transgender rights?!?!

We answer all of these questions and more in our first deep-dive into Intersex People. Our main takeaway? If we want Equality For All... it behooves us to drop what we're doing and start fighting for Intersex Rights, and NOW.

We've taken some HEAT online recently in regards to the title of this podcast. A small (but loud) group of activists think we're implying, 'trans women aren't ladies.' So, to put the whole discussion to bed, we figured we'd take this opportunity to EXPLAIN OURSELVES!

We discuss WHY we chose the title, the multitude of factors that went into that decision, and whether or not we agree that it could be considered transphobic. Then we talk about The Lady and the Tramp (1955), Chloe being in a fraternity, the general state of the internet, and a few other random topics before we call it a day.

There is a long history of people wondering about the Lost City of Atlantis. Where did Plato hear about it? Did he make it up? Why aren't there any records?

Well, we did a deep-dive into everything we know, how we know it, and the verified and unverified sources of information. Is it possible that the reason people claim it 'never existed' was... racism???

Join us on this vision quest into ancient times, lost history, and family lineages that unveils the TRUTH about the Lost City of Atlantis.

When Chloe first moved to Los Angeles, she wanted to be an actor. She didn't know she was Chloe yet, was just a lost 'boy' making her way in the world, and she stumbled onto what seemed like a free ticket to success: a 'casting director' who was teaching a free acting class to find new talent. But from there, she entered into a world of lies, deceit, misery, abuse, mental manipulation, trauma, and more.

This episode breaks down her experience in the cult, how cults function, the mental manipulation tactics employed to keep people trapped, and the fallout from the whole ordeal.

A MASSIVE trigger warning: This episode features descriptions of SA and other forms of abuse.

As you may have seen recently (and probably for the first time) the word "transmaxxer" has been gracing our social media feeds. This is a very specific type of person, a far-right incel who *pretends* to be transgender, and is guilty of nearly every thing that the real transgender community is frequently accused of...

WHAT?! As they say, *every* accusation is a confession. Is it possible the haters have only been experiencing *transmaxxing* content and still have no idea what transgender actually means?

Where does the concept of narcissism come from? What causes it? Is there a genetic component? Can people with NPD be 'cured'?

Chloe dug into the research and read all the studies and has an alternate take on how it all fits together. Facts like, "there is no single unifying factor that defines all narcissists," or "the only proof that we have that there is a genetic component comes from a self-report mail-in survey on child twins" are just the tip of the iceberg as we explore everything that the psychology community currently knows and understands about what is currently classified as a Personality Disorder.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you are the type of person who has dated a narcissist for a long time because you believe you can 'cure' them, or because you have empathy for their situation and 'understand' why they are the way that they are--NARCISSISM is REAL, and there are a lot of narcissists who learn how to fake healing so that you will stay and continue to give them supply. Do not take this episode as a reason not to leave an abusive situation or a situation that causes you distress. While on a big-picture scale, we may not know very much about the personality disorder, we are also nowhere near a 'cure,' because that might literally require rebuilding society from the ground up. I don't think this was made clear enough in the episode.

In a world that treats sex workers as shameful gold-diggers or heathens, we're taking a different approach and viewing it as what it is: a job. Laura shares her experience over the last decade as a stripper - the reason she got into it in the first place, the benefits, and some of the darker side of the job. We aim only to speak honestly, and to recognize that a job is a job, and no one deserves to be treated as less than a person because of what they need to do to survive.

One of the hottest topics in the world right now is whether or not Trans Women should be allowed to play Women's Sports! The problem is, it's incredibly difficult to find true, proven information on the subject without falling into a rabbit hole of mis- and disinformation. So... we did the work for you! Chloe read every study ever published on trans people's athletic performance, as well as studies that were done analyzing those studies, read a bunch of articles, and gathered the information together into this handy dandy episode!

The study analyzing the studies, including why basically all of the studies that have been done so far are either deeply biased or intentionally misrepresentative: https://cces.ca/sites/default/files/content/docs/2024-01/transgender-women-athletes-and-elitesport-a-scientific-review-en.pdf

Did you know there are children being tortured in the United States every day? Or that the Mormon Church is behind a LOT of it? In this (no video) episode, Chloe asks Laura to break down her experience in the "Troubled Teen" Industry, an insidious multi-$billion scheme designed to shame parents and children in order to wring a fortune out of them by convincing said parents to send their 'disruptive' or 'troubled' children to 'rehabilitation' facilities. Once there, a sinister plot begins to brainwash, mentally break down, and sometimes physically abuse these children until they 'act right.'

If you have any experience in one of the facilities mentioned in this episode, or another one we didn't talk about, leave a comment below, or send us an email! We want to hear your story.
