You climb into the warm crevice of your meat mech. Its pungent copper wetness fills your nose and slides down the back of your throat... it tastes like blood and cherries. It occurs to you that this nightmare of muscle and bone feels somehow more like home than anywhere else you've ever been. You whisper your name and push your neck onto the nerve spike. As the thing you call "yourself" expands, a fire lights in the pit of your stomach. Oh, of course. This is what it feels like to be alive. This is what it feels like to be you. You are GENDER DISASTER.

THIS WEEK: Game developer Heather Flowers joins us to discuss EXTREME MEATPUNKS FOREVER Season 2, which is on Kickstarter now! Topics include antifascism in video games, advice for aspiring artists, how to deal with trolls, what to do about diversity in the games industry, being transgender online, and what keeps us going in the age of fascism.

Support EXTREME MEATPUNKS FOREVER Season 2: Bound By Ash on Kickstarter!

Time to pour some milk on our faces and talk about LEFTWING MEDIA. THIS WEEK: Sarah shares some HRT updates before diving face first into some topical internet discourse by asking: what is left-tube, and is it a movement? Covers criticism of the "dirtbag left," the differences between left-tube / breadtube, a history of the likes of ContraPoints and others, Sarah's experience on youtube, left-tube's similarities with comedy non-journalism like The Daily Show, what it does well, what it does poorly, and how we could all be doing a lot better. Hint, the answer involves communism.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode gets into several heavy topics, such as emotional abuse, privacy violations, homelessness, victim blaming, and conversion therapy. Please take care of yourselves. THIS WEEK: Marble Charlotte comes on the show to discuss her experience with a family-mandated therapist whose only goal was to convince her she wasn't transgender.

Uh oh, Sarah's back and this time she has EMOTIONS. THIS WEEK: We discuss the psychological experience of being off and on HRT, as well as the comorbidity of mood disorders and learning disabilities, which makes it hard to diagnose things like ADHD, BPD, or bipolar. Hormones aren't a silver bullet for mood and habit, unfortunately! ALSO: A pair of emails, first about the state of transgender rights in the military in Singapore, and then asking about finding friends and salvaging damaged relationships after coming out.

What even is cyberpunk? THIS WEEK: Writer Aysha U. Farah joins to talk a little about their experience with gender, as well as to discuss a certain high-profile cyberpunk video game currently making the promotional rounds in the game-o-sphere. We explore what the genre means to us, why we think so many people get it wrong, and offer up some atypical examples of it being done right. ALSO: Some minor discussion of Homestuck and Hiveswap Friendsim, because what's a cyberpunk discussion without a little self-flagellation?

What does gender even do, anyway? THIS WEEK: Sarah lectures a room full of undergrads on her theory that the existence of transgender people undermines the foundations of so-called western civilization. We also discuss trans healthcare, public perception, the importance of internalizing genderqueer politics, and little ways you can help the trans/enby folks in your life.

Back on meds, let's get to some questions! THIS WEEK: We dig through our backlog of anonymous curiouscat asks, which flit mostly between themes of finding community and feeling unsure how to be nonbinary in a deeply binary world. Wow, same! Can Sarah single-handedly solve these common trans problems in just thirty minutes? Guess you'll have to listen and find out!

Now wait just a second, this isn't a Monday! THIS WEEK: Oops, we had technical difficulties. This is a short one to discuss the mental challenges of falling off HRT, untreated ADHD, and the general depression that comes with moving.
