It's the final episode of our series on trans voices... an interview with the speech-language pathologist that I saw for my gender-affirming speech therapy! We're going to get into the science behind it all, why AMAB and AFAB voices sound different and what it really takes to change them. It takes a long time and a lot of work, but if you're dedicated and put in the effort (with safe and certified instruction), amazing things can happen. Do you... adore the lore behind Al Gore?

We continue our discussion of voice, and what that means when you're transgender. This week we discuss my full gender-affirming speech therapy experience, when is the right time to work on pitch, D-I-S-T-E-R-B, and you get to hear a voice timeline... of me saying the exact same thing, from pre-transition, through every stage of speech therapy, on to where I'm at now. It might blow your mind (it certainly did mine). Sound editor Jillian Morgan returns to discuss becoming comfortable with your trans identity and learning how to smile! And folks, please be sure... that if you're doing voice training on your own, you check the credentials of who you're listening to!

So many of us trans people struggle with our voices. They might spike our dysphoria, or cause us to get misgendered, or just not sound like US. So this week we kick off a three week series all about voice! In this episode, we're going to talk about how incredibly gendered voices are in our society, what that does to us, and how to approach that if you're seeking out gender-affirming voice therapy. Our lovely sound editor Jillian Morgan joins us once again to discuss fabulous cis wives, and the parts of this show that you'll never get to hear. My tummy!

We made it! This is the final episode of our discussion of the trans allegory of Silo s1 on AppleTV+! And we're talking all about the season finale, and how the ending maybe doesn't mean what you think it means. We're gonna talk about how even those at the top buy into the lie, and how we need solidarity and community because we can't do it alone. The sagacious Samantha Cuddy returns to discuss how hate and bigotry are taught. And hey... we can't be friends if you're stepping on my neck.

It's the penultimate episode of our discussion of the trans allegory of Silo season 1 on AppleTV+! This week we discuss how it's socially acceptable to hide your queerness, how the rules only apply to the oppressed and not the oppressors, and how if you're not fighting alongside us for our rights you're an integral part of the power structure that oppresses us. The luminous Samantha Cuddy returns to discucss, and we get a big confirmation of one of my theories!

It's part seven of our examination of the trans allegory of Silo season 1 on AppleTV+! This week we talk about the importance of chosen family, how we're not allowed to have knowledge society doesn't approve of, and how we're saddled with obligations to keep us too busy and exhausted to examine the big questions. Oh, and rabbits! The junoesque Samantha Cuddy returns to discuss how trans people have to be our own amateur lawyers and endocrinologists! And hey... toxic bigots don't deserve to be in your life just because they share your genetic material.

We're in the back half of season one of Silo from AppleTV+, and it only gets transier from here! This week we talk about how power is used to control communication and information, rewards for conforming to the false cis binary, and you guessed it... SUPERtext! The pulchritudinous Samantha Cuddy returns to discuss how little of our own lives we remember due to dissociation! And hey... don't be on the nazis' side.

The deep-dive into the trans allegory of Silo on AppleTV+ continues! This week we cover episodes 2 and 3 of the show, and discuss the importance (and fear) of water and what it means, we begin the search for the truth (about society and about ourselves), how trans people and schematics are connected, and the hypocrisy of denying trans people things cis people get without question. Samantha Cuddy returns to discuss the importance of sharing stories! Oh, and say hello to my old friend SUPERtext!
