Spicy Advice! New Spicy Merch! Molly on NPR!

Friends! Thank you so much for your patience. Friend of the show Z(ee) Griffler and I spent a week exploring Toronto, and the newsletter fell by the wayside in the meantime. I feel badly about it, but also... look how cute we are?????

This week — okay, last week on the show — Z and I answered ten(!) advice questions from our rad listeners. We talked about whether it's possible to be secretly cis; who counts as queer; whether nonbinary people can use the trans flag (spoiler: yes); how to distinguish dysphoria from disordered eating; and so so much more. Hope you love the episode!

In merch news, we have extremely good new merch designed by Cass Fountaine! This "what the hell is gender?" design is currently available as a t-shirt, tank top, and sticker for a limited time. We'll have additional color schemes and products with this design available soon! (What do you want? Totes? Phone cases? Mugs? Posters? Something else?)

Lena's "every gender is real and valid" design is available for another week or two as well. We've got shirts in black and pink, plus stickers!

In other podcast news, yr fave gender detective Molly Woodstock (hi!) went on a bit of a press spree this week. Highlights include:

- this profile of a rad trans therapist that I wrote for the Washington Post's weird Turning 30 series. (There should be a special section of the print edition on Wednesday(?), keep an eye out!)

- This incredible SF Chronicle article by former Gender Reveal guest Soleil Ho about how restaurant dress codes are transphobic and otherwise terrible — featuring a spicy mic drop of a quote by yours truly.

- This NPR article about Mattel's new gender neutral dolls, featuring an interview with Molly and a very good quote (no offense) about the gender ternary.

Plus a live appearance on NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday, which I'll be talking about for This Week in Gender! Because... turns out being a trans person in media is a mess, lol.

Okay, I think that's it for right now? But soooooon (sometime this week) we'll be releasing our season finale! Are you excited? I'm excited!

Here's your weekly Rhubarb.

Take care of yourselves. I love you and I'm so grateful for your presence in my life.

XO,
Yr resident gender detective

PS: Y'all ever listen to Sir Babygirl? They're nonbinary and great and I've been looping this song for no particular reason. Bye!
