People (mostly men) LOVE to say "just face it, women could never compete with men, it's just facts" ...but is that true? Or have we been fed misinformation for literal centuries?

In this episode, we continue our tale about the centuries-long FIGHT for Women's equality in sports. This episode picks up in 1896, just at the dawn of the return of the Olympics (after a 1500 year period without them), and tracks up to the present day. Why weren't women allowed to compete? How did they earn the right to do so? Why did that somehow lead to LESS inclusion? What does the Cold War have to do with America finally letting women be athletic? (No, seriously) When did sports start "Gender Testing," and what is the motivation behind it?

We answer ALL of those questions AND MORE as we finish the tale of the FIGHT for Women's Sports Equality!

Have women ALWAYS been less athletic than men? Or could there be an explanation as to why that's the case? (Maybe something to do with PATRIARCHY?!)

In this episode, we break down the history of women's inclusion in sports, going alllll the way back to ancient times, including ancient Rome, Indigenous cultures, BCE China, and more, chronicling the PURPOSE of sporting throughout history, when women were included, when they STOPPED being included, and the various socio-cultural factors that altered our evolution and created the athletic dichotomy between gender that we see today.

EMERGENCY BROADCAST: NEW FILE DROP!

*TRIGGER WARNING* We will be reading, aloud, one of the 'FILES' that was released, detailing a sinister plan that reveals who was ACTUALLY behind all the stuff that trans people have been accused of for the last few decades...

A WHOLE lot of stuff is finally coming to light. It TURNS OUT... the venn diagram of 'transphobes' and 'pedos' is a nearly perfect circle, and almost all of the transphobic rhetoric we've seen in the last 30 years has been created BY dark, sinister forces with ulterior motives--namely, to point the spotlight away from their own fetishes and ONTO a group of innocent victims.

In this episode, a MASSIVE part of the conspiracy against trans people is revealed, and you WILL NOT BELIEVE some of the connections we made...

Whether you're newly out, just exploring the community, or trying to do some research to be more supportive of a friend or family member who you found out is transitioning... there are a LOT of terms around being transgender (or any variation thereof) that can be hard to parse, and sometimes you just don't feel comfortable asking someone to do the emotional labor of explaining it to you!

That's what this two-part episode is for!!

That's not to say this video ISN'T for you if you're already an expert on queer terminology... because we're also going to explain the HISTORY of these words: where they came from, who coined them, why they're used, why there's pushback, and why they're important!!

In this episode, we're finishing up with the remaining 13 of the 27 terms Chloe researched, including: what's the difference between 'transgender, transsexual, transvestite, and drag,' and how did those terms slowly unfold into each other over the course of the last 150 years? In order to explain that, we have to talk about the difference between 'gender identity' and 'gender expression,' before we dive into a whole series of terms: gender-affirming surgery, hormone replacement therapy, puberty blockers, facial feminization/masculinization surgery, and gender dysphoria vs body dysmorphia.

Then we wrap the whole thing up with the most controversial word of them all: autogynephilia. No matter what you know about this word already, you're going to be surprised by the long (and insidious) history behind it.

"My friend came out to me and I have no idea what they actually said! What is "genderf*ck"?? Why do we need the term "birthing person"? Why does my queer friend keep complaining about 'TERF's? My friend said she's genderfluid but NOT genderqueer? Help!"

If any of that sounds like you, this might be the podcast for you. We're going to break down what some of the most common transgender-related terms actually mean!

That's not to say this episode isn't for you if you're already an expert on queer terminology... because we're ALSO going to explain the history of these words: where they came from, who coined them, why they're used, why there's pushback, and why they're important!!

In this episode, we'll go over 14 of the 27 terms Chloe researched, including: "cis," cisgender, transgender, AMAB, AFAB, TERF, Gender-Critical, FART (no, really), Birthing Person, Pregnant Person, Chestfeeding, Non-Binary, Genderfluid, Genderqueer, Gender non-conforming, & Genderf*ck.

Did men ruin calendars??
Because it's the end of the year, curiosity got the better of Laura, and she decided to look into why our calendar is organized the way it is. Why are there 12 months? Why are there such a random number of days in each month? Why are their names of the so nonsensical? How did ancient civilizations organize their calendars? And is the answer to every one of these questions just, "PATRIARCHY"?!

The answer then raises new questions: Why DON'T we organize our calendar around a natural cycle like the moon? Why did ancient matriarchal cultures ALL organize their years around the moon? What role did Catholicism play in the destruction of ancient ways of organizing time??

Literally all of those answers and more (plus quite a bit of rambling) in this episode.

[Research sources available in YouTube description]

Before colonialism took over the globe, before the Abrahamic/patriarchal Religions took hold, there were trans people. In fact, EVERY pre-colonized culture had a version of trans people, and in EVERY culture, the same belief cropped up again and again: people who were cross-gender or 'between' genders were the people with supernatural abilities, capable of communing with the spirit realm, heal sickness and disease, sense evil, befriend animals, see the future, and more...

In PART THREE of our exploration of gender variance in pre-colonial cultures, we explore 1) slaves who were FORCED to be trans, 2) how terminology has evolved and been co-opted to fit into larger colonial societies, 3) alternate possible causes for alternative gender identities, and most importantly... 4) the spiritual connections / superpowers that trans people were believed to hold. Some of these cultures are still holding it down in the fight against colonizers, and to them we say: KEEP IT UP.

Today, we're covering another SIX cultures (although it's secretly a lot more), and the history of the gender-differing people within them. Namely: The various Two Spirit identies of Indigenous North America, the Köçek (or 'forcibly transed slaves') of the Ottoman Empire, the Sworn Virgins (trans men) of the Balkans, the HIGHLY spiritually connected Machi of Mapuche culture in Chile and Argentina (and their FIGHT against colonizers), the Chibados of Ndongo and Matamba, and the Femminiello, who may have evolved from the Galli, in Italy. Join us on this vision quest deep into the past to learn more about our present, what could have been, and what may still be to come!

Samantha Fulnecky, a junior at the University of Oklahoma, has cried RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION after she FAILED a Psychology research paper, wherein she ignored the rubric & requirements and INSTEAD wrote about her personal beliefs that trans people are "Demonic" and "listening to Satan." Her professor's administrative assistant, who she knew would be grading the assignment, was a transgender woman named Mel Curth.

Mainstream Media has been covering this story as "Transgender teacher fails student for quoting the Bible!" -- a narrative that has been HEAVILY touted and pushed by Turning Point USA's University of Oklahoma chapter.

So today, we're going to give you JUST THE FACTS about this story: what was the research paper she was supposed to be responding to? How did she respond? What has been the fallout from her actions? Why is she so insistent on turning FAILURE into a media moment? And more importantly... what can WE do to reinstate Mel Curth, who was put on probation?
