Added 2023-08-13 20:19:32 +0000 UTC

Hey friends,

Hope you’re all hanging in there. I literally just had to check the calendar because it feels like it’s been a million years since we put out the Katie Barnes episode, but apparently it has only been six days???

Anyway, we got a great compliment about the Katie ep today, which is, “I was surprised by how much I learned… (Almost chose to skip it because I’m sooo sick of the topic).” Honestly, I get the impulse, but I’m glad folks are listening and learning from it — I learned a lot, too.

Next week on the show, I’m chatting with actress Nicole Maines! We originally booked Nicole to talk about Yellowjackets (one of my favorite shows), but since the WGA and SAG strikes are in full swing, we switched gears to talk about her experiences coming out in elementary school, writing trans superhero comics, and a whole lot more. Plus, Ozzy produced a very VERY good This Week in Gender segment that, warning, will make you feel a feeling!!!

In other podcast news, we added two new rock stars to our NYC live show lineup! The full lineup is:

Casey Plett
Fran Tirado
Mattie Lubchansky
Kendra Wells
~tiny surprise guest~

We’ve also got a bunch of really cool Gender Reveal alum coming into town for the show, including BFF of the show Mckenzee, so if nothing else, you’ll want to come hang out with her, I assume!

I’m offering a little dealio where, if you grab a ticket this week and send me your receipt, I’ll send you a PDF of 2 Trans 2 Furious for free. (At this point, this show has almost nothing to do with 2T2F, but I figure it’s a fun perk anyway.) Tickets are available here while they last.

OK, I think it’s time for Links & Stuff. Let’s break it into categories this time, shall we?

Climate chaos and other crises:

Did you know it’s so hot in Arizona that you get burned if you fall on the ground?!?!
This huge spreadsheet allows you to donate directly to survivors of the fires in Maui
One of those heartwarming-in-a-hell-system stories about a pizza guy helping fellow immigrants in NYC

Also:

Surprise! Statistically zero people regret top surgery. (Taking this with a grain of salt because obviously it is dangerous to express trans regret ever, BUT STILL.)
An interesting look into one family’s decision to move away from the far-right homeschooling world (gift link)
Something Casey Plett wrote led me down a deep rabbit hole into this old story about a guy who lived alone in the woods for 27 years?? Did we know about this??

That’s it for this week. Here’s your weekly Rhubarb.
