Yes, Androgyny

Gender Fatigue; or, The One with the Duck-Feeding Man

Hard to know how to describe this one! The most nonsensical improv we've ever done somehow also contains a cathartic convo about passing, fatigue, and being gendered in people's eyes.

  • For Emma, Forever Ago - Grieving a Lost Sibling

    01:23:28|
    An episode about grief—both personal and communal. Frankly, we're done being afraid to talk about it.While we do find plenty of moments for humor in our conversation, this is a very heavy episode. HUGE content warning for discussions of hate crimes, LGBTQ nightclub shootings, and the loss of a sibling.Also we forgot to introduce ourselves this episode. Sorry—we're a bit rusty. If this is your first time, Charlie is the first person who speaks, and uses she/they pronouns. Ari uses he/they pronouns.LINKS:Our PatreonOur TikTokOur TwitterAri's TwitterCover artist: Isabel PereiraAri's and Isabel's Webcomic: MothorialMusic composition and arrangement: FlorrifyTheme by Garrett Stein-SeroussiCo-produced by New 32 Productions (indie media company co-owned by Charlie)RESOURCES:TRANS LIFELINETHE TREVOR PROJECTBLACK TRANS ADVOCACY COALITIONIT GETS BETTER PROJECTFriendly reminder that we're NOT experts in gender studies, psychology, or trans history!Questions?

  • Not Just Trans; or, Opposite Nipple Torture

    01:32:14|
    We're back, babies! This week, we try to have an episode where we don't ONLY talk about being trans. Instead, we talk about other stuff...like religion, and high school, and toxic communities that prey on the lonely. Do all of these conversations end up invariably circling back to gender? You betcha! Plus—and this is just my (Charlie's) opinion—one of our funniest improv scenes.CONTENT WARNINGS: A mild allusion to having suicidal thoughts. Mentions of transphobia, internalized bigotry, and bullying.LINKS:Our Patreon (for $5/month, you get an episode of bonus content every other week!)Our TikTokOur TwitterAri's TwitterCover artist: Isabel PereiraAri's and Isabel's Webcomic: MothorialMusic composition and arrangement: FlorrifyTheme by Garrett Stein-SeroussiCo-produced by New 32 Productions (indie media company co-owned by Charlie)RESOURCES:TRANS LIFELINETHE TREVOR PROJECTBLACK TRANS ADVOCACY COALITIONIT GETS BETTER PROJECTFriendly reminder that we're NOT experts in gender studies, psychology, or trans history!Questions?
