On today's podcast, we answer your questions! Thank you all for sending your questions and trusting us to answer them! We take on shot fatigue, how to react when someone comes out to you, how to talk to kids about gender and trans folks, and how dysphoria is different than just disliking your body.

The holidays are over, 2019 is here, and we are back in your ears! This week's episode is all about selfcare - a topic that may be of central importance after potentially spending time with folks through the holidays that may not be 100% supportive, on-board with your life, or in-line with your values.
Selfcare means many things (listen to the episode to learn more about what we think about selfcare and trans folks in particular) - here are some additional resource that might be helpful.

On Today’s episode, we are thrilled to get an opportunity to talk with M Barclay. They are the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Enfleshed (https://enfleshed.com/) and the first openly nonbinary clergy of the United Methodist Church. We talked about M’s journey to becoming clergy, how they understand God, where trans folks fit in religion, and making churches safe and welcoming for the LGBTQ community. If you have ever thought about faith and how being trans fits with that, this is an interview you won’t want to miss. This episode is also required listening for church members who want to be welcoming to trans folks.
If you are looking for a church that embraces the LGBTQ community, check out church clarity. They do the work of scoring churches on how welcoming they are. https://www.churchclarity.org/scores

We’re back with the second and final part of our episodes on internalized transphobia. This week we focus on what we have each done to work on our own internalized transphobia, some suggests for ways to start working on it, and an important ally moment.
In the episode Sam offers up Dr. Brené Brown's TED talk as a great place to start, so I went to include a link to that TED talk – and two TED talks came up, so I’ve linked to them both below. I think he was referencing the first one in this episode, but they both look important and so it can’t hurt to have links to both (clearly, I have yet to listen to this talk, but I will during my holiday vacation).

Internalized transphobia is a subject rarely discussed in the Trans community, but is a subject critical to understanding the ways that shame and social expectations, and the ways we have soaked those up (whether we want to or not) have an impact on our lives. This is the first in a two part episode, ‘cause there’s a lot to cover!
Here are a few articles about internalized transphobia that might be helpful to checkout.

Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) takes place every November 20th. It is the day when the trans community memorializes those we have lost to violence, discrimination, neglect - to all forms of anti-trans violence over the past year. In this episode we explore the history of TDOR, what it has become over the years, and why this day is so important to the Trans, LGBTQ, and other social movements.
For trans folks today can be difficult and emotional. Please remember to reach out if you need support to those you are close to or to the Trans Lifeline.
You can view the 2018 TDOR list of names here:https://tdor.info
The lists from 2007 to 2018 are available on the TDOR website. The original website, the Remembering Our Dead Web Project has been saved here: http://braided-web.net/remember.html
