Based on a previous discussion we had, I thought I'd speak about my desires to have or not have children and how it relates to my transness or doesn't. As an adoptee, I have some pretty strong feelings about adoption and being ready when you have children. I thought I'd share my thoughts on having children and open the question up to my audience.

This month I asked if being polyamorous makes someone part of the queer commuity and I got a lot of very surprising answers to this question on this month's show. A grad student working on his thesis tells me a few stories of the discrimination his cis heterosexual subjects experienced while being openly polyamorous. A person from Utah shares some surprising insight into the Church of Latter Day Saints and their condemnation of polyamorous relationships. Two callers question my framing of the to...
As a polyamorous person who some see as queer, I figured I'd share my thoughts about whether or not being polyamorous on its own defines you as queer.

After sharing my thoughts, I thought I would ask my audience how they felt about the term queer. For some it's a word that's too vague to speak to their experiences, and for other, the vagueness is the appeal.

"Queer" is a term I've always had a very complex relationship with. On one hand, I respect that as a transgender woman, I will always be seen by as outside of heterosexist norms by many. Yet it's hard for me to reconcile the reality of my lived experience where people tend to assume I'm a cis woman and by proxy, heterosexual. I've lived most of my life entrenched comfortably in a very heteronormative life, despite my transness; so it's hard for me to feel like "queer" is a truthful term for me, ...
This month, we discussed AI Art and its ethics. In this call-in show, I spoke to several different people who all offered different perspectives on AI art and its impact. We had a great conversation about how it's impacting upcoming artists and asked the question "how long have artists been able to sustain themselves as they currently do". Are the artists who reject AI art simply elitists? Audio editing by Silvana Alcala Support the show If you enjoy the podcast, help support it by joining my Pa...
A few days ago, I found an acquaintance of mine trying to sell AI portraits of popular characters in baby form. His only challenge was plugging in specific descriptions of the images he wanted and a computer generated images for him to sell and increase his reach. Since seeing that one post, he's made several more and produced more "art" in a shorter period of time than most artists are able to do by hand. The worst part? His images would exist without stealing from living artists. Artists whose...
This month, we're having a conversation about how young is too young to be transgender. It's a rather rhetorical question because obviously anyone at any age can identify or understand themselves as transgender, but when it comes to trans care, there are some rather complicated realities that are often brushed under the rug in this conversation in order to placate to the false concerns of transphobes. In this episode, I speak to several people who transitioned young or debated transitioning youn...
With increased antagonism towards transgender children receiving care, I thought it would be a good idea to have an open conversation about the benefits of transitioning young; with a few caveats based on my own experiencing transitioning young.

In this month's podcast episode, I asked the question: Am I demisexual or do I just have standards? In this call-in show, people who identify as demi and ace speak to me about the difference between these two and the complexities of not exactly experiencing sexual attraction the way many of us do.

Despite being overtly sex positive, I'm not really a person who jumps into the bed with people and for that reason, some people have suggested that I may be demisexual. For me, this is strange because I think most people tend not to rush into sex, but maybe hook up culture has made that feeling rare enough that it deserves its own sexual designation? In this episode, I speak about demisexuality as a term and how I feel it does and doesn't apply to me. Support the show If you enjoy the podcast, h...
We continue our conversation about "pretty privilege", wether it exists and if the concept can be differentiated from other isms. We hear from a white transgender man who experienced "pretty privilege", a South Asian woman who grew up with a thinner, lighter skin sibling who was always treated better than her and a man from Brazil who speaks about Brazil's unique and not so unique view on who exactly gets to be seen as pretty in a predominately mixed country.

The concept of "pretty privilege" is an interesting one for me. On one hand, I don't doubt it's existence and frankly, I've benefited from it. However, quite frequently. when I unpack what's considered attractive in the United States, it seems hard to differentiate it from other isms like racism, fatphobia and ableism. So I question if it is truly a "privilege" at all, but an embodiment of other isms. Support the show If you enjoy the podcast, help support it by joining my Patreon: http://www.pa...

It seems like we can never discuss transgender people's existence without discussing who they're sexually available to. One of the most popular bits of discourse around this issue is whether or not someone is transphobic for not being sexually or romantically interested in a transgender person. For me, the question is an interesting one as a person who's had several relationships with men I'd describe as deeply transphobic. So in this episode, I discuss the deep nuances of my feeling on the issu...
As we've been discussing, hypersexuality is a pretty common reaction to sexual violence and it's also pretty commonly misunderstood. In this episode, I ask my audience the question whether or not they would have been receptive to someone trying to call them out for their hypersexuality at the height of it. In this episode, we speak to people of various genders about their experience with hypersexuality and the different ways people in their life tried to address it and some of the responses and ...
In the continued discussions we've been having around hypersexuality, one of the things I mentioned was that I would have appreciated someone stopping me or calling me out for what I was doing. However, the reality is I would have been incredibly defensive to the point where I wouldn't at all respond positively to someone who wasn't a parent trying to stop me when I was in a hypersexual phase. So what exactly can someone do when they see their friend engaging in hypersexual self harm. Support th...
In the podcast last week, I spoke about a comment I got from a New Yorker who said that lesbian bars in NY were so full of trans women that cis women who didn't want to date them were forced to go underground in order to meet with each other. As a straight person, this sounded strange, but anything is possible. So I opened up my lines to Lesbians around the world to discuss this topic of the shutting down of Lesbian bars, but ultimately, New York's lesbian scene came through with full force to d...
Transphobia and dating are subjects that come up pretty frequently and one of the most intense debates is about whether or not lesbians are transphobic for not wanting to sleep with trans women. I dont personally think so, but im fairly used to women pursuing me romantically. If we listened to this discourse, we'd believe that never happened but I often find myself rejecting cis women despite how these conversations tend to suggest that women who are attracted to women arent attracted to trans w...
In this episode of the call-in, we speak to a few people of various genders and they give their perspective on gendered pricing structures at events. We speak to a trans man who once enjoyed getting freebees for being seen as a woman, a post op trans woman about her own experiences and two cis women about their own experiences in these practices in both vanilla and kink settings.

From clubs to kink parties, I discuss the concept of "women get in free" in the midst of a reckoning in the LA area where some of these places are being shut down because of sexual assault allegations.

Hypersexuality is a common response to sexual violence, but many folks would assume the opposite. In this call in show I open the floor up to a wider range of people to discuss their own experiences with hypersexuality after sexual violence.

When you've been assaulted, the assumption is frequently that you would become more modest, less sexual and very protective of who you allow into your physical space. This idea is often predicated on the idea that sexual violence only occurs when someone seems receptive to it. This is an obvious fallacy, but the hypersexual response to assault is still very confusing to many. For me, I wouldn't realize how much my assault changed me until years and years later; after finally meeting safer, healt...
When you're black, you're often raised with this idea of black love. My parents directly told me not to date outside of my race. However, as a trans woman, I've found this to be pretty complex and I discussed that in the last episode. Now I open the floor to folks who have had similar, but also different experiences pursuing black love when you're black, trans and/or queer.
