Ben and Robin welcome back Dan (any pronouns) to talk about the pop culture we grew up with and how it affected our understanding of ourselves as trans people. We get into a wide array of topics, including:

- Common trans tropes in movies, TV, and video games (and why we deserve better)

- How we conceptualized ourselves in a world where (almost) all trans representation was negative

- The power of positive tragedy-free queer content, and how to tell a trans trauma story the right way

- Why trans actors and creators deserve good contracts and good agents

- Another Jerry Springer rant and another Jim Carey rant

- How pop culture and the media are used as anti-trans propaganda and erasure

- All sports are gay

- Our new strategy of funding the podcast with crypto and NTFs! Get your BRATcoins now!
