CW: brief mentions of suicidality and self-harm, transphobia
Happy Pride Month y'all! I figured this was the perfect time to talk about the "trans panic" and how transphobes use really bad excuses to justify their bigotry. I break down the arguments behind trans people in women's sports, bathroom bills, and gender-affirming care, as well as talk about the psychological consequences of transphobia.

#69: Scandoval: Anatomy of an Apology
CW: brief mentions of suicidality
What makes a good apology? Pretty much the exact opposite of how Tom Sandoval addressed the fallout of his affair with Raquel Leviss. I break down the "apology" tour that Sandoval went on in the finale. Spoiler alert: Tom's apologys are not what I would call "good"

#71: Queerbaiting
In this episode, I talk about the media phenomenon of queerbaiting. This occurs when studios or creators sprinkle vague hints at a character's sexuality to keep queer audiences coming back for shreds of representation. I also talk about the application of the term to celebrities' personal lives and the importance of real, substantial representation.
