159: Torrey Peters | Part 2

Season 6, Ep. 159

Happy New Years you lovely people <3 Torrey Peters's book Detransition, Baby topped every Book of The Year chart, was longlisted for the Women's Prize for fiction, and caused a ton of controversy along the way. Just how we like it. She came by HS Towers for a chat about why asking about pronouns is a very cisgender thing to do, why she calls the Kardashians female to female trans women, and why holding fish on Tinder is gender performance.

  • Get to Know Co-Host Megan Crabbe

    10:38|
    A little treat for you on this blustery Friday—an extra snippet from our first episode with the brilliant Megan Crabbe. Our conversation was so great we couldn’t fit it all into the main podcast, so here’s the part you didn’t hear.Megan was one of the original trailblazers of the Body Positivity movement—calling out diet culture long before it became a trend. In this bonus clip, we talk about how she found herself at the forefront of that shift, and she shares more about her personal journey with queerness.I adore Megan. I could listen to her speak forever—hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
