Brooke Stepp! Spicy Twitter polls! New merch! XOXO!
Added 2019-09-14 02:49:25 +0000 UTCFriends! Welcome to the weekend! More importantly, welcome to the full moon in Pisces! Did you know that this is the first full moon to land on a Friday the 13th in thirteen years?! V v auspicious day; hope you're having a good one.
This week on the show, we released not one, but two episodes for you!
The first episode was bonus content in the form of me rambling about XOXO Fest, Wellbutrin, familial homophobia, and gross gay love. As I mentioned on the podcast, I saw so many rad trans/generally non-cis folks at XOXO!
Emma Kinema talking about.... unions.
Friend of the show Soleil Ho cancelling herself.
Left at London crushing it.
Friend of the show Eden Rohatensky from way back in Episode 4!
This week's main episode included an interview with the incredible Brooke Stepp, a somatic therapist whose tattoo is featured at the top of this newsletter.
It was wonderful and challenging and incredibly insightful to hear Brooke's thoughts on finding a trans-competent therapist; supporting friends through eating disorders; navigating "body acceptance" as a trans person; identifying as a nonbinary femme; looking forward to gender communism/anarchism, and so so much more. I learned so much, and I bet you will too!
Brooke sent me a lot of amazing photos to use for this newsletter, so please enjoy this very good selfie.
In other podcast news, we've got a new shirt in the merch store! Big thanks to Lena for designing this extremely posi tee, which is also available as a sticker.
In non-podcast news........ I hiked.
Back at home on the internet, I ran a poll for nonbinary folks regarding how we feel about the term "enby." The results were extremely mixed, which, as a friend of the show pointed out, only makes us more powerful.
(I'm running another poll right now but we don't need to talk about that one.)
Okay, this seems like maybe too much content? Should I stop? I'll stop. But hey, thanks for being a pal to me and to the entire Gender Reveal community. I love you so so so so much.
xoxo,
Yr resident gender detective
