2 Trans 2 Furious PDF! Calvin! Hal! Imara! Live show! Washington!

Hey friends,

Hope you’re all hanging in there. I just got back from beautiful Seattle, Washington, where I hung out with at least two former Gender Reveal guests and lots of other assorted pals. (Speaking of — I went to the Seattle Trans Beach Day and a Gender Reveal listener said hi and gave me a cool rock?? If that was you, please know that I took the special rock home with me on the plane hehe.)

I also went to the Gorge, one of my very favorite places on earth, and I’m sharing a picture above in case you wanted to be like “oooooh wow.”

While I was away, we released two bonus episodes, both of which I believe we’ve already discussed in the newsletter? There was a feed drop of the Anti-Trans Hate Machine’s New York Times exposé, plus a combo platter of Gender Conceal clips, Hal Schrieve book recs, and an official live show announcement.

And speaking of the live show! Babes. Pals. Comrades. If you’re thinking about coming to the show, maybe grab your tickets soon because sales are…………………….. troubling.

Also, this show is absolutely not going to translate well to podcast form (although Ozzy and I will do our best!) so you’ll want to see it IRL if you can. Plus, we will be hanging out after the show to sign books and say hi! It will be cute!

And SPEAKING of BOOKS… we FINALLY have a PDF version of 2 Trans 2 Furious available online! I’ve reactivated the Patreon discount code, so you can grab your copy for 10% off with the code FAST10. (You can still grab physical copies as well — we keep hitting a truly astonishing number of roadblocks into getting these mailed out, but I’m told that all orders will be sent out by next week! Hoping praying screaming crying throwing up etc.)

Anyway, find everything at 2trans2furious.bigcartel.com.

Next week (tomorrow) on the show, we’ve got Katie Barnes, author of the upcoming book Fair Play. If you’re the kind of freak who loves homework, here are a few of Katie’s favorite articles for you to check out in advance:

• How two transgender athletes are fighting to compete in the sports they love
• The battle over Title IX and who gets to be a woman in sports: inside the raging national debate
• Young transgender athletes caught in middle of states' debates
• Lia Thomas controversy surrounds NCAA swimming championships, incites national debate
• The Power of Layshia Clarendon
• Jonquel Jones and the untold story of the WNBA's reigning MVP

OK, let’s skip Links & Stuff because that was already so many links, yeah? That’s it for this week. Here’s your weekly Rhubarb.
