"Is There a Trans Genocide?" (part two) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Is there a Transfemicide Emergency in Chicago? Is there a Trans Genocide, ongoing? Is one being planned? In part two of exploring this question, with curiosity, reason, emtpathy and nuance, Andy & Brendan ask the questions behind the questions, hold the claimants to their own standards and try to understand both the inflow and outflow of these claims. Is Lily Wachowski correct when he says JK Rowling is funding a Trans Genocide? Is Rowling, as he claims, a "literal nazi?"Does absolutist or extre
"Is There a Trans Genocide?" (part 1) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sparked by politicians and comedians alike this week, the Transfemicide Emergency Declaration by Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and the podcast comments by Margaret Cho converged to create a curiosity: are we living through anything like a Trans Genocide or even an epidemic of anti-transgender bias?

How d
Should We Smash the Matriarchy? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In the inevitable companion piece to "Should We Smash the Patriarchy?" Andy & Brendan look at how one would coherently define modern society (with especial focus on the U.S., where they live) and what does that mean, in terms of net harm or net benefit? Are we living in a Matriarchy? If so, for how long? 1970s? 1990s? And is this novel or a reverse of the speculative global queering of the Agricultural age?Having achieved Gender Parity across positive and negative outcomes (pay gap, education ga
