Inclusive Bureaucracy

Tilly"s Trans Tuesdays ·

2026/04/21

We've talked about systems that aren't set up to acknowledge the existence of trans folks... so now let's talk about some that are the complete opposite! Because making things easy on us is actually not that hard to do, when you care to. Comic writer and musician Magdalene Visaggio returns to discuss letting the feelings be and writing and performing this show's theme song!MAGDALENE VISAGGIO Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/magsvisaggio.com TEXT

Discriminatory Bureaucracy

Tilly"s Trans Tuesdays ·

2026/04/14

It's more than bad enough when bigots try to legislate trans people out of existence, but that's not all we have to deal with. So much of the world is set up by and for cis people, and isn't even made to acknowledge that trans people exist. Let's discuss what happens when we run into those systems, and the problems it can cause. Comic writer and musician Magdalene Visaggio joins us to discuss super mullets and writing your way to transition! MAGDALENE VISAGGIO Bluesky:

No Escape 2: Some Escape (due to cis allyship)

Tilly"s Trans Tuesdays ·

2026/04/07

We've talked about how difficult it can be for trans people to escape the way society others us and constantly reminds us of our transness. This week we take it a step further and look at a legitimately dehumanizing situation I went through, and how one true cis accomplice turned everything around by standing up for me. Author Alex Ritany returns to discuss being a forever DM and soupy gender identities!ALEX RITANY Insta: https://www.instagram.com/alexritany Website: https://www.aritany.com/ TEXT

Superman's Trans Affirmation

Tilly"s Trans Tuesdays ·

2026/03/24

James Gunn's Superman film is, perhaps, the most quietly trans-affirming superhero movie ever made. Let's talk about the inherent queerness of the superhero genre, what makes Superman so special, and why the 2025 film adaptation hit so many trans people like a Kryptonian at mach 5. Comic writer Jadzia Axelrod joins us to discuss spheres of space! Will you fall into her trap?

Tilly"s Trans Tuesdays ·

Gender Euphoria

Tilly"s Trans Tuesdays ·

2026/02/03

There's almost nothing in this world better than gender euphoria, and yes I'm aware of both pizza and sex. Let's talk about what it is, where it comes from, and how chasing it can often be a more clear indicator of transness than trying to alleviate its opposite, gender dysphoria. Therapist and trash connoisseur Theo Embeck returns to discuss the dice lottery and the hubris of a big swing and a miss! Dress. Go. Spinny.TEXT

Radical Trans Acceptance (Roller Derby)

Tilly"s Trans Tuesdays ·

2026/01/27

When so much of the news seems devoted to transphobia, fear, and taking trans people's rights away, the baseline of how trans acceptance SHOULD be can feel absolutely radical. Let's talk about what that's like with what is, perhaps, the platonic ideal of trans inclusion: Roller Derby. Therapist and trash connoisseur Theo Embeck joins us to discuss starting small, and seeing yourself through the eyes of your community. I'm marker impervious!TEXT

Tilly"s Trans Tuesdays ·

2025/12/16

When transition progresses further than ever before, when you're more of your true self than you've ever been... it can cause the people around you to reveal THEIR true selves, and they can end up being people we don't really want to be around.

This week we examine our dreams, very specifically the ones where we imagine we'll someday get to be our true selves. And we dive into the subconscious, which holds the answers, but they're not always easy to see. And when we first get a glimpse of the truth within... it can be scary as hell.
