September 04, 2024She's the Man Faith and Kath are surprised that they liked this movie so much. Remember Amanda Bynes? She's so funny and we at TGR Headquarters wish her well. The movie is helped by surprisingly funny Channing Tatum in his first movie role and a bonkers story by Billy Shakespeare. Apparently pretending to be the opposite sex is stressful and Bynes said she struggled with depression for months after seeing herself onscreen. Sounds like gender dysphoria is hard even in small doses.

...more May 26, 2024Some Like It Trans Today we watched director Billy Wilder's 1959 hit Some Like It Hot, winner of 11 Academy Awards. Our feelings are... complicated. But for a movie with cross-dressing, produced in compliance with the Hays Code's absurd limitations, it is actually pretty cool.
Marilyn Monroe's character gave off "Born Sexy Yesterday" vibes. Pop Culture Detective coined the phrase for characters like The Fifth Element's Leeloo; learn more here!
In 2023, J. Harrison Ghee won a Tony Award for Best Featured Actor in a Musical for their performance in the Broadway musical, the second out nonbinary actor to win the award. (Mere MINUTES after Alex Newell, the first out nonbinary Tony winner. So close!)I know what you're thinking-- Best Actor? Nonbinary person? Well, there is a larger conversation happening about gendered award categories for major performance awards. Maybe we'll see some changes in the future.Like us on FaceBook so we can haunt your feed.

...more May 05, 2024I Saw the TV Glow: The Rebels Go To the Movies Yesterday we went to I Saw The TV Glow followed by a Q&A with writer/ director Jane Schoenbrun. Brigette Lundy-Paine and Justice Smith star in a coming-of-age story where two junior high outsiders find each other and bond over a creepy Buffy The Vampire Slayer-like TV show. The show gets darker and the protagonists' ties to reality start to loosen.
We've loved Brigette Lundy-Paine ever since Atypical and see all their work-- even Amelia's Children, yikes.) Unlike Amelia's Children, I Saw The TV Glow was excellent: dark and strange and sad, with an amazing soundtrack. We highly recommend it!

...more February 10, 2024You Can Get SRS and Still Be a Good Leftist This week we saw a reddit post that asked "Would I be a bad leftist if I get SRS?" It started with "my ex told me that girls who get SRS are an obstacle for trans liberation." Wow. We knew Faith needed to weigh in.
Caution: we make pretend sex noises throughout this ep. Try to not get too turned on, thanks.
Gaslighting means "manipulating someone into questioning their own perception of reality".

...more September 30, 2023Movement for Transwomen Listener Claire asks a great question about how to move in a more feminine way. We can't all be ballerinas or elegant gliding angles on ice like the truck drivers of Manitoba, but we can all take some yoga or barre, work on our posture, get video to track our progress, and attempt to emulate the Playboy bunny walk. But ultimately, it all comes down to practice.

...more September 24, 2023Fight Your Health Insurance to Get Your FFS Covered Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is not covered by some health plans. If your health insurance company says they won't pay for a surgery you need, you can appeal that decision. Listener Robin asks for tips from Faith, who succeeded with her appeal on her third try.
Our other FFS episodes:Faith F's her F Part IFaith F's her F Part IIFaith vs Her Health Insurance
"Insemination style genitalia" and "gestational genitalia" are terms that Faith thought up in her weird brain and we do NOT recommend googling them. Kath thinks AFAB and AMAB are adequate.Faith learned about appealing decisions from your health insurance at the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference. There was no 2023 conference but there will be one in 2024 and we will see you there!Legal aid societies that can help you with your appeal, for each state.Faith said people with gestational genitalia (aka AFAB people or people who were assigned female at birth) "retain neoteny". Neoteny refers to child-like facial characteristics. These “neotenous” characteristics include a large forehead with lower set eyes, nose and mouth; a smaller, shorter, more recessive chin; fuller lips; larger eyes; a smaller nose; higher, thinner eyebrows; and a rounder, less angular face. This can be (but is not always) associated with attractiveness, to some people.Our old video of conventionally attractive people whose facial features are androgynous or even skew toward those of the opposite gender included the jerk Ezra Miller. Join us in cancelling that creep.Faith's surgeon, Bella Avanessian, MD at Mt Sinai, also has Jazz Jennings as a patient. See Dr. A. in this video as a baby doctor, just starting her surgical fellowship.Legal Eagle YouTuber has an episode about arbitrators and also "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia".Former New York State governor Mario Cuomo groped staff members and helped the LGBTQ+ community a lot. Those are two uncomfortable truths we have to live with....more July 16, 2023Why Are the Evangelicals So Scared? Ken Ham founded the Creation Museum and Faith got extra credit for going to see him speak on--what else?-- science.
This is a cool diagram of all the metabolic processes. Kath remembers each and every detail of this diagram, even now, 20 long years since her graduate biochem class.Amanda The Jedi reacting to "Pure Flix", the Christian alternative to Netflix. Her other videos are really good, too.Bob Jones University is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) as of 2017 and the Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools as of 2011.The Kids in the Hall sketch Homo Alone.At 3:30 in this video, Pat Robertson says people in San Francisco wear rings to give other people AIDS.The southern strategy linked the GOP with racists and evangelicals.Check out Self Made Kingz for cool shirts!Support us on Patreon to help us keep making great content, and to get some cool rewards!

...more May 27, 2023Everything sucks. Get loud. "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." We misattributed this quote to Lee Atwater. It was in fact Lyndon B. Johnson. Don't feel bad for Atwater; he was no peach either. Here's audio of him spelling out how Republicans should signal that they support racist policies without actually saying racist things. TW for some seriously fucking brutal racial terms.
Fauci could have handled the AIDS crisis better. This Frontline tells you all about it.The Justins in Tennessee. (the link is a gift article; enjoy!)The GOP won't change their policies to get more voters. They'll just get rid of democracy.Protest works. There were sustained protests in East Germany before the wall fell like the Leipzig prayer protests every Monday. ACT UP used unapologetically confrontational die-ins to force progress on AIDS funding, research, and treatments.Conservatives don't want their kids learning about Ruby Bridges or Rosa Parks.RIP Congressman John Lewis and let's all make good trouble.Buy Faith's book!

...more March 05, 2023Trans Music Part 2 We're back with even more songs. And this ain't all, there's still a part 3 in your future!
In this episode, we discuss:
Fraulein Wunder Wenn Ich Ein Junge War or "If I Were A Boy". Faith's judgment: a good song.
The Soviettes Middle of the NightHole My Beautiful Son and the link shows you a picture of Kurt Cobain looking pretty in a dress and lipstick and pearls at 0:52Lords of Acid I Like It (best known for the song The Crab Louse about pubic crabs)James Laid
St Vincent has a song about Candy Darling
Green Day King for A DayThe Replacements and Peter Buck AndrogynousLaura Jane Grace is lead singer of Against Me! and she transitioned in public. One of the band's albums is Transgender Dysphoria Blues.Pitchfork hates every album.Trans or queer musicians:
Kim PetrasRomy HaagPete Burns of Dead of Alive which you know from "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)".Kurt CobainNew York DollsDavid BowieGetting a used toaster as wedding gift is just one of the many objectifying, dehumanizing virginity metaphors Faith was taught. But sure, let's follow that comparison to its conclusion. A used toaster? What if it's just the right toaster for you? What if it's amazing, and it sees you and treasures you for who you are, and it makes you laugh, and it shares your values and interests? Yes, then I wouldn't care if the toaster has a few crumbs in its tray from a previous owner.
