- Transition: Done! Now What?
Listener Devin sent this question many months ago (and we re-recorded this episode to replace the one we lost when Kath's hard drive died). It's great to have accomplished everything: coming out, the surgeries, the name change, building a support group. But now what?

29 min - Nostalgia and Your Old Wardrobe
Listener Cormac asks if Faith felt nostalgic when getting rid of her old clothes
We have previous episodes on Developing a Sense of Style and Feminize for Free. They're female-oriented episodes but a lot of the advice applies to guys too.Faith loves Manda & The Marbles. You should too.Get your own Music Band T-shirt like Steve Buscemi wore in 30 Rock.High-quality Inkbox fake tattoos seems like a great Christmas present for Faith, right? Yeah but not, like, 20 of them. Lesson learned.Faith only wears black T-shirts. Lou Malnati's Pizza doesn't make a black T-shirt. (Note: Lou's is not Chicago's best deep dish. Giordano's is. Specifically, the 730 Rush St location for its convenience to Kath's old lab at Northwestern Memorial.)Salvation Army dislikes gay people no matter what they say.Goodwill isn't great either but at least they're not actively homophobic.Out Of The Closet is a national chain of non-homophobic, non-exploitative thrift stores that directly help people living with HIV and AIDS. From their website: Ninety-six cents of every dollar collected at the stores directly fund AIDS Healthcare Foundation's HIV/AIDS programs and their new housing services, as well as on-site pharmacies and free HIV testing. AND they were featured in First Girl I Loved, a super-gay movie WE loved.Queer Exchange is a buy and sell group on Facebook. They have them for lots of cities, not just NYC. But Housing Works is NYC only.Guys helping guys at r/malefashionadviceGreen Day Good Riddance lyrics so you can sing alongREM Don't Go Back to Rockville lyrics so you can sing alongBe sure and check out Kath's other podcast Lab In the Time of Coronavirus.

Merriam Webster improved and clarified the definition of racism.
The protests are working. Minneapolis will disband the police force. Other areas are discussing defunding their police forces. "Breonna's Law" outlaws no-knock warrants in Louisville. The Louisville police chief was removed from his post after an unrelated shooting by police officers-- another unarmed black citizen, this time at a protest. Louisville's mayor has issued a request for proposal for a comprehensive, top-to-bottom review of the entire Louisville police department The officers who killed Breonna are on administrative leave. (The question of their firings or prosecutions come after the investigation.) Keep it up.
Redlining is an example of deliberate, institutionally-deployed racism. We still deal with its repercussions today.
The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 is just one of many attacks on thriving African American communities throughout history.
Read The New Jim Crow about racial discrimination in law enforcement and the rise of mass incarceration.
Finally New York State has a special prosecutor's office to investigate cases where a person dies while in police custody. Previously, these investigations were done by local district attorneys. This old system was crippled by built-in conflicts of interest, since local district attorneys have to work with cops on their other cases.
A good article about armed cops in schools aka "school resource officers".
Remember that stupid whitewashed Stonewall movie? At least the Marsh P. Johnson character appeared onscreen for four seconds.

An awesome Redditor sent Faith 11 great questions and we go through them all, bam bam bam, for your listening pleasure.
The Pitch Drop Experiment is a demonstration of viscosity where pitch in a funnel yields one very slow drop every 7-9 years (until the lab installed air conditioning which then slowed the rate of drippage too ever 12-13 years).
Of course Flying Synagogues are a thing. Or they were in 2006.
