So... Can we leave behind the right-wing framing of victimhood being a choice and all that nonsense that really only benefits those with the power to further marginalize the people who are already in the margins? I'm just saying. 🤷🏾‍♀️ Today we discuss what victimhood is and (real quick) we're also talking about the ascension of the far right in France.

Rejecting your queer kids, is serving them on a platter to predators. Yes, it is. Listen to find out what that means and how that translates in your children's lives.

I know the Internet can get a little excessive in its reaction to things but I'm pretty sure most of the heat has dissipated around this topic (at least, I sure hope so). We are talking about non-binary people and their place in the tarns community. We'll also touch on Dylan Mulvaney, but really some cis women's reaction to her song and how it's problematic (the reaction). Let's talk.

I wanna know how things go in YOUR area, especially if you are from the Caribbean too. Let's talk! PS. I'm also brushing on Césaire, Glissant & Fanon.

Look... Ugly things happen when a person is not sure of who they are. It's usually too hard for them to even think about exploring. Just like racists. Who would they be without their racism? Well... who am I if you define your womanhood on your own terms? I don't even want to think about it. In fact, let me just shut you up. It's easier. So today, we talk about that but also about parents as people. I know, very different but get into it. PS. So sorry about the sound. I was not recording in my usual setting.

For my own survival as a black trans woman, I have to be aware of the power dynamics around me because they deeply structure the way I am able to move in this world. As Black people in general, we recognize patterns when they have been applied to us first. And once we see them out there, it's hard... No, it’s impossible to unsee them.

A few episodes ago, I talked about the fact that seeing oneself through somebody else’s eyes in a positive way can change absolutely everything. What that doesn’t mean, is that we need constant validation from outside of ourselves. Let’s talk about the difference! MY WRITING: So..

Being a marginalized person in the workplace, especially a multi hyphenated, marginalized person, comes with some weight. Even our glamorous faves cannot escape that… as Angelica Ross would surely let you know. We get into the situation with the racist on set and Emma Roberts’ transphobia. Both being starting points for another discussion.

I read somewhere that it’s natural for all beings on this planet to reserve their energy. So I understand that it’s easier to go with the flow and find oneself a cushy spot than to challenge the status quo. But then I believe, that, being human, our consciousness separates us from the natural world. If some are able to make the effort, that means it’s a possibility for all of us. Still, some are more interested in getting power within the system, then breaking the chains that bind us all. Let’s talk!   SUPPORT The podcast is recorded and edited by me, your host Lily.

I don’t need to tell you that we live in a transphobic world, where we learn about ourselves not only through our own feelings and ideas, but also through what others say about who we are supposed to be. But the moment we realize that it’s not true, that’s where liberation and self-love begin. Let’s talk!   SUPPORT The podcast is recorded and edited by me, your host Lily.

So... I was in a conversation with "soft, respectable, demure" trans women who believe us ratchet ones should embrace right wing talking points. Maybe if we weren't so trans, maybe if we caged our identities, trans women wouldn't suffer such abuse. Basically, there's transphobic violence because we essentially asked for it.

If there is something that bigots and transphobic right-wingers are good at, it's reframing conversations in the most harmful ways. Today, we're talking about that technique and why it is very important not to fall pray to it. Naturally, we will have to mention the "bathroom bills", laws on gender affirming care for transgender kids, trans people in sports and LGBT topics in school (and drag queen reading hour).   SUPPORT The podcast is recorded and edited by me, your host Lily.
