50 min - Everything 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!

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.

32 min - Video Games, The Public Eye, and Academia
Listener Hayley actually wrote in with three excellent questions. She asked the Rebels' thoughts on transgender representation in video games, transitioning in the public eye, and how transgender academics handle a lifetime of publications attributed to their deadname.

Faith has been playing Civilization for years and Civ 6 is the newest one.
A recent article about trans representation in video games-- including 3 games that get it right.The super-easy, super-tasty popcorn recipe Faith likes. And that website has a TON of great vegetarian recipes. We're not even vegetarian and we like Cookie & Kate's recipes!
Within the last year, leading academic publishers have developed a simple policy to help transgender academics: rapid and discreet revisions on all electronic resources. Nature, Science, Elsevier, Wiley and other of the top academic publishers are paving the way.
Kath does not know how to pronounce Elsevier. It is "el suh veer". Both of her guesses were wrong.
Wiley published the MR safety book with Kath's chapter, chapter #30. But don't buy that book. Buy Faith's book.

39 min - Athletics and Transfolx
You know things are bad if the Gender Rebels do a political episode about sports. But ignoring politics is a luxury for privileged people and we're just plain pissed.
