Manage episode 389860069 series 3509184
Ready to get the inside scoop on the recent Doctor Who special controversy? Stay tuned as we, your hosts Rachel and Phoebe, react to the backlash regarding the inclusion of a transgender character. We'll navigate the choppy waters of representation in media, and discuss whether there's ever a "right" way to include transgender characters.
Prepare to dive deep into the less-discussed implications of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). We'll approach this topic with personal tales and raw honesty, exploring phenomena like the surprising shift in temperature sensitivity, changes in libido, and the drastic physical transformations. Get ready to shed the unnecessary guilt and societal pressures as we stress the importance of unique transitioning journeys - reminding listeners that HRT is not a compulsory element.
But there's more! We're digging into the frightening developments around transgender rights and conversion therapy in both the UK and US. We'll unpack the anti-trans sentiments that surfaced during the recent GOP debates, the misinformation being spread about transgenderism and the lonely plight of anti-trans activist Graham Linehan. Additionally, we'll delve into the topic of trans women in amateur sports. Lastly, we'll share our two cents on the topic of bottom surgery, the role of gender identity clinics, and the importance of self-affirmation in the transition process. Don't miss this enlightening, in-depth exploration.
