Shannon Strucci: The One-Way Road to Obsession

1h 6m · Trans Questioning Podcast · 05 Sep 12:00

It's time to dish about the creeps that make life miserable for women on the internet. THIS WEEK: I talk to youtuber Shannon Strucci, hot off the release of her feature-length video essay about parasocial relationships. We discuss how death in the family (especially parents) can other you from friends and colleagues, the gross and creepy harassment a successful woman gets, how gender affects one's success on a public media platform, the weird real life fanfic written about Jacksepticeye and Markiplier, what it's like being a woman on a film set, and much more!

Some Things You Learn About Yourself At Pride

Food is good and so are dogs, meta or otherwise.

I went to Pride and felt like I was allowed to feel attraction to other people as a transgender woman! Topics include: my mom's recipe for "shit on a shingle," lessons from pride, lesser-discussed media stereotypes that had an outsized effect on my sense of self, a song i wrote called "meta dog," and what I learned about my socioeconomic upbringing from cooking aforementioned recipe. This one's packed so buckle in!!!

Doing Dishes at the End of the World

This is probably healthier than twitter, tbh.

In this week's episode, I do the dishes and ramble about the overturning of Roe v Wade, the state of American labor, and the place of gender within the ongoing culture war. If you like ASMR, this one's for you.

Personal Responsibility (to kick your ass)

My head is a blender and society is giving me too many tropical fruits

This smoothie has a bit of a neapolitan flavor. Contradictions, the pandemic, rate of profit, and my own disjointed writings on The State Of Things come together in what can be resoundingly described as "an hourlong podcast episode."

Breakfast of a Burnt-Out Worker

Wake up to a world with room to spare.

TQ is back! This week, Sarah makes breakfast, drinks some coffee, and then reads selections from Noel Ignatiev's Adequate Men, the memoir of a communist revolutionary working inside a steel mill in the 1970s. From there we discuss the nature of work in America today, the neoliberal project of decoupling labor from the workplace & erasing the ideological commitments of the labor movement, and why there is hope to be had for the future of the revolutionary movement.

The Last Episode of Trans Questioning (unless it isn't)

THIS WEEK: Trans Questioning is ending, whether now or a bit later. But something new will take its place, and this episode is an exploration of what that thing will be and why I feel compelled to make it a reality.

NOTE: I was high and exhausted when I recorded this episode, and I did not listen to it for errors. I know that by the end I was spewing youthfully vague political generalities. I promise these discussions on Genderpunk will be a hell of a lot more specific.
