Welcome to Second Friday with Fran & Diane. Your hosts are two trans femmes that wish to share their lived experiences of gender transition, and to reflect upon the experiences and ideas of other transgender people. We hope that you find this to be entertaining and provocative. In their book, Who’s Afraid of Gender? Judith Butler writes that “gaining knowledge about a way of life does not mean that one is obligated to pursue it” (p.96).
In the course of this discussion, your hosts may use language that you find offensive or they may discuss ideas that you find confronting or potentially triggering. Please exercise good use of your autonomy and simply tune out if we’re not your cup of T. If you find that the material discussed within the podcast distresses you then please consult a doctor, therapist, or otherwise practice good self-care.
Trigger warnings will appear on specific episodes when listeners should be advised.
