Advice w/ Tehya! New Merch! Nilla Wafers! Chaos!
Added 2021-03-08 01:43:53 +0000 UTCHey friends,
Hope you're all hanging in there. I have been having A Time ™ over the last few days — my phone broke and my back seized up (I'm old!) and I had to put together a new episode from scratch this weekend after the planned interview didn't work out. SO, this newsletter is going to be mostly photos. Hope that's cool lol.
This week on the show, I teamed up with nonbinary mixed race therapist Tehya to answer y'alls advice questions about pronouns, relationships, dysphoria, and more. Topics include:
- What if I don't want to share my pronouns?
- Can cis people bind and use they/them pronouns?
- Am I going to get dumped for getting top surgery?
- How do I handle my partner's transphobic friend?
- What should I tell my students about my gender?
And more!
In Episode 602, we also tackled no fewer than TEN This Week in Gender topics, including both serious political news ( the Equality Act, Dr. Levine's confirmation hearing, X markers on passports, Virginia banning trans panic defenses, Montana doing transphobia) and a few pop culture items (Mr. Potato Head, Patti Harrison as Sia for Nilla Wafers, etc.)
A tweet by "Nilla Wafers by Nabisco" @Party_Harderson that says "Hello I am Sia (the singer) doing a social media takeover for Nilla Wafers today! There are only two genders."
This is still funny to me sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A tweet by "Nilla Wafers by Nabisco" @Party_Harderson that says "MISTER Potato Head is HE! MISSES Potato Head is SHE! there is NO NEUTRAL"
Anyway, I got the merch store restocked with a bunch of new stickers for March. Here they are!
I restocked a few of our most popular designs as well, in t-shirts, tank tops and sweatshirts. Take a peek in the shop before March 31, when all of the designs disappear.
I think that's it for me today. Thank you as always for your support, which allows me to do things like pay people to try to salvage weird interview tape and buy a new phone when mine just stops??? Working???
Here's your weekly Rhubarb :)
xoxo,
Yr resident gender detective
PS: You're getting another advice episode tomorrow, featuring BFF of the show (and angel person) Zee Griffler. If you have gender or relationship questions for the show, you can submit them here.
