For this Trans* Awareness month episode, we bring back special guest Sandy Eichel, who is a transgender nonbinary person themself! We start off addressing notions of tokenism, and specifically discuss the difference between including an underrepresented voice versus tokenizing that person to speak for their whole group. This episode, we share our joy around Will's costume room, Amber's holiday sweater collection, and Sandy's amazing annual Solstice Party! We discuss a variety of trans*-related issues, including pronouns, how to correct yourself if you slip up and misgender someone, and hearing about Sandy's own journey to understand themself as a transgender and nonbinary person. This month's habit-breaking skill is learning to Replace Stereotypes, and we learn about using the pneumonic "Detect, Reflect, Reject" as a way to help us retrain our automatic reactions. Sandy's joyful media recommendations is the powerful documentary "Paris is Burning".
