Sunday Sep 24, 2023
Sunday Sep 24, 2023
Facial feminization surgery (FFS) is not covered by some health plans. If your health insurance company says they won't pay for a surgery you need, you can appeal that decision. Listener Robin asks for tips from Faith, who succeeded with her appeal on her third try.

OnlyFans
Sunday Jan 01, 2023
Sunday Jan 01, 2023
Transition is expensive. A listener writes in to ask, what's the harm with starting an OnlyFans account to help with the costs? Chasers are creepy, but money is money. She's got systems in place to ensure her anonymity and safety. What do you think?
Topics in this episode include:
Usury laws
Bible says don't charge interest when you lend money, but Christians still seem to like it for some reason.
"Caveat" means an old-fashioned necktie, we're pretty sure.
Don't Fuck With Cats taught us people can locate you based on your images, if they're motivated enough.
NYC paramedic outed (correction: not fired) for having an OnlyFans account.
The concept of "less dead" in criminal justice
Porn actress Asia Carrera retired to Utah because no one looks at porn in Utah.
Speaking of Utah: the only thing better than the breathtaking canyon walls of Zion National Park were the cute Utah queers we encountered there. We see you and we love you.
Faith does not love driving in Phoenix AZ.
Listen past the end credits for sounds of one of our dogs sleep- barking!

Video Games, The Public Eye, and Academia
Saturday Jul 30, 2022
Saturday Jul 30, 2022
Listener Hayley actually wrote in with three excellent questions. She asked the Rebels' thoughts on transgender representation in video games, transitioning in the public eye, and how transgender academics handle a lifetime of publications attributed to their deadname.
Buy Faith's book! It's the mid 1990s, and a high school guy in Georgia is grappling with his queerness, his faith, his friends, and his future in Disgusta by Faith DaBrooke.
Faith has been playing Civilization for years and Civ 6 is the newest one.
A recent article about trans representation in video games-- including 3 games that get it right.
The super-easy, super-tasty popcorn recipe Faith likes. And that website has a TON of great vegetarian recipes. We're not even vegetarian and we like Cookie & Kate's recipes!
Within the last year, leading academic publishers have developed a simple policy to help transgender academics: rapid and discreet revisions on all electronic resources. Nature, Science, Elsevier, Wiley and other of the top academic publishers are paving the way.
Kath does not know how to pronounce Elsevier. It is "el suh veer". Both of her guesses were wrong.
Wiley published the MR safety book with Kath's chapter, chapter #30. But don't buy that book. Buy Faith's book.

Book Release: ”Trans Bodies, Trans Selves”
Tuesday Apr 26, 2022
Tuesday Apr 26, 2022
The book is here! The book is here!! The second edition of Trans Bodies, Trans Selves is finally out, featuring 2 pieces by our very own Faith Da Brooke!! We can't contain our excitement even though this 649-page ENCYCLOPEDIA is going to put us out of business. Written almost entirely by trans people, it is an exhaustive resource on healthcare, legal stuff, relationships, history, poetry, and more. And we were so lucky to have the opportunity celebrate the launch by interviewing 2 of the people who were the force behind this, Kelsey Pacha and Kevin Johnson.
Kelsey Pacha is more than just President of the TBTS Board. He's also a consultant for workplaces who want to move forward with their diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Kevin Johnson is a doctor in upstate New York specializing in addiction medicine.

But Gender Is A Construct
Sunday Apr 17, 2022
Sunday Apr 17, 2022
What does it mean to want to transition, while also being aware gender is a construct? Does transition mean gender is not a construct? Taylor writes in with this excellent question and a few other great insights.
Faith brought up the monkeys who wash their sweet potatoes, which is an atypical behavior that nonetheless spread through the troop and was even handed down through generations. They do it today; you can go to Japan and see them. It's an amazing case study of behavior that meets three proposed aspects for a cultural behavior: emergence, propagation, and modification.
The "modification" part is most relevant to Taylor's question. Yes, gender is a construct, a cultural behavior. It has a lot of problematic aspects but also a LOT of aspects that feel right to many people. So trans* people and even plenty of cis people modify gender constructs to fit themselves. We live gender in the way we want.

Explaining ”Nonbinary”
Sunday Sep 05, 2021
Sunday Sep 05, 2021
"I don't understand," they say, and now you've got some work to do. Listener Kai asks how to explain what nonbinary means to their boyfriend's religious parents. Luckily, Faith knows how to talk to religious people so you know The Gender Rebels have some thoughts.
Checkout our episodes with our nonbinary friend Avery: Everything In Between and Nonbinary Talk With Avery.
A nonbinary person is not necessarily intersex, but Avery said it can be a helpful metaphor to people who prefer to start from a scientific example. Check out our intersex episode for details.
Faith is a fan of Sci Show and they also have an episode on intersex people.
Becoming Eve: My Journey from Ultra-Orthodox Rabbi to Transgender Woman by Abby Stein is just one of many stories from religious or formerly religious people dealing with queerness, transition, or being nonbinary or intersex. Also it's just a great read.
We love Austen Hartke and he has done so much fascinating work on queer interpretations of the bible. Check out his book Transforming: The Bible and the Lives of Transgender Christians if that YouTube clip piqued your interest.

11 Rapid-Fire Questions From Reddit (fixed audio)
Friday May 01, 2020
Friday May 01, 2020
An awesome Redditor sent Faith 11 great questions and we go through them all, bam bam bam, for your listening pleasure.
The Pitch Drop Experiment is a demonstration of viscosity where pitch in a funnel yields one very slow drop every 7-9 years (until the lab installed air conditioning which then slowed the rate of drippage too ever 12-13 years).
Of course Flying Synagogues are a thing. Or they were in 2006.

Got Netflix Party? Patrons are invited to join us in watching Tootsie on Sunday Apr 4 at 8 pm eastern time! Is it a bold mainstream portrayal of crossdressing with A-list actors and comedians, a tasteless comedy that makes trans people the butt of every joke, or something in between? Join the chat and chime in when you're moved, tickled, or aghast. And y'all? Faith has never seen it!

Pandemic Tips for Transguys
Wednesday Apr 01, 2020

Neither of us are transguys. Still, we know how to kill time during SIP (shelter-in-place).
Practice tying your ties! Actually, no. Instead, perfect that bowtie. Long ties are vectors. Gross.

Vaginoplasty 101 Part I
Tuesday Feb 25, 2020
Tuesday Feb 25, 2020
NYU-Langone offers a day-long class in vaginoplasty for women who have their GRS scheduled in the near future. Caregivers are able to attend too! So we went, listened, took notes, asked questions, and ate sandwiches. We learned SO MUCH that we couldn't fit it all into one episode. We could barely fit it into two. So enjoy these mega-episodes!
A hand mirror is recommended for looking at one's brand-new vagina. Your phone, or a compact, won't work. Sure, any hand mirror will do. But here, we like to go big or go home.
Psychology Today can help you find a therapist. (That's the US link, so go here if you're Canadian, Mexican, or if you live outside North America.)
The OUT Foundation partnered with NYU-Langone for the class. They can provide resources for people traveling for their GRS, and seem pretty cool overall. They have an inclusive gym finder, host the Big Gay Field Day , and started the Don't Be An Asshole Tour.

Sunday Dec 29, 2019
Sunday Dec 29, 2019
BREASTS! Faith discusses her recent breast augmentation surgery: the ordeal itself (not bad), the immediate followup (kind of bad), and the weeks since then (not great, but getting better every day). Next time they tell you to grow a pair, just say "no thanks. I'll BUY a pair!" No, wait, don't say that. That's weird.

Supporting A Gender-Questioning Partner
Sunday Dec 15, 2019
Sunday Dec 15, 2019
Awesome partner Jenny asked us "I was wondering if you could discuss the gender spectrum a bit and what it means to be gender questioning. My partner doesn't really know how they feel but they know that they don't feel entirely their assigned gender. As a straight cis woman, I am having a really hard time understanding these feelings and what to do, if anything, to support them in helping them figure out what makes them most comfortable." We discuss how labels can be both helpful and unhelpful, the kinds of questions necessary, what societal strictures should be ignored, and the frustrations Jenny's partner may encounter.
There's a great guide to figuring out a non-binary identity from Micah at Everyday Feminism.

Sorry about the dog noises. They think they deserve peanut butter to keep them quiet whenever the microphone is out. We're trying to break that habit.

Wearing The Trans Flag 101
Saturday Sep 21, 2019
Saturday Sep 21, 2019
Gaysper is an adorable gay ghost with his own twitter account. Faith made Kath a trans flag Gaysper tshirt. What are the rules for cis allies wearing trans gear? Or even for trans people wearing trans gear? Is it safe? Does it spread awareness? Or is it basically invisible to most people?
Faith's favorite band is Garbage. We have an episode about chasers, if you want to hear how they steal transwomen's photos to attract other transwomen online.

Even Introverts Need A Community

Thursday Aug 01, 2019
Ugh, MORE talk about the Philadelphia Trans Wellness Conference?? Yes but this will be the last episode where we go over the PTWC the until next year, we promise. But all you wonderful listeners who stopped to talk with us at PTWC got us drunk on dopamine, so all this Philly material is kind of your fault. But it also brings up the importance of community,even to introverted misanthropes like ourselves. While online communities are invaluable and even lifesaving, there's just something about being in a room full of people like you.

Next week's Philadelphia Transgender Wellness Conference is going to be amazing. We hope we see you there. COME SAY HI AT OUR TABLE! But 75% of the reason we got to Philly is the food. For that reason, please educate yourself on the following important information:
1) There's an art to ordering a Philly cheesesteak, and it's worth getting it right.
2) You can have a sandwich of pork roll or Taylor ham, but it's smart to know the difference.

Is 2019 a Bad Time to Come Out Trans?
Thursday Jul 04, 2019
Thursday Jul 04, 2019
Is the political climate right now conducive to coming out trans? In this week's episode we answer a listener question: "Someone close to me has come out to me as trans and I’m so proud of her but so many things in the news scare me. I know she finds them scary too. I just wonder, if you were facing starting a transition in today’s world, would you? Would any of the threats to trans rights going on today give you pause if you were still at the beginning of this process?"

Is Taylor Swift a true ally or is she just using Pride to sell albums? In this episode we take a look at Taylor's controversial new single "You Need to Calm Down" and its related video. Is it a genuine, albeit clumsy attempt to show support for the LGBTQ community? Or is it merely a straight cis person trying to use Pride to sell more records?

Should Pride Include Cops and Corporations?
Thursday Jun 13, 2019
Thursday Jun 13, 2019
Should Pride parades ban police from marching or being involved with the parades? What part should corporations be allowed to play in Pride celebrations? In this episode we explore the question of whether some organizations should be dis-invited to Pride celebrations.
A group called the Reclaim Pride Coalition announced in May that it will mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots with a separate march. Reclaim Pride’s Queer Liberation March will begin 2.5 hours before the official parade on June 30, and will not allow either corporate or police contingents.

Crossdressing= Genderqueer?
Thursday May 30, 2019
Thursday May 30, 2019
What is about crossdressing that draws some people to it? Is it a turn-on? A way to relieve gender dysphoria? Rebellion against the binary? Or something else. In this week's episode, we answer a listener's question about crossdressing and motivations. Our listener asks "What drives this feeling for me? I kind of have a hard time answering this. There have been a lot of times in my life where it has been a fetish of sorts for me and I wonder if that is attributable to the fact that it was my secret. I say this because now that I'm able to paint my toes, put on makeup once in a while, and wear some female undergarments to work, that fetish aspect has gone away. It's more just something that makes me feel good about myself. I guess I'm wondering if other crossdressers experienced their fetish transform into something more subdued when they begin to be open with people close to them. I view this as a healthy development for me."

Snapchat Filters

Thursday May 23, 2019
So what's up with those gender transforming Snapchat filters? Are they a blessing or a curse? In this week's episode we answer a listener question from Bridget who asks "I was wondering if you had an opinion on the new MtF and FtM Snapchat lenses. People on Twitter seem to be having a field day with them having fun. I was wondering what your thoughts were in it. Is it awesome, awful, or couldn’t care less. It seems like there is a lot of ways to look at this. On one hand it’s nice to get a 'helping hand' for selfies that can help your self esteem. In the other hand, I could see it as people making light of something that causes restless nights of in the trans community."
