Trans and Transparent

In this episode, we rewind to our teenage years when everything felt bigger, louder, and just a little more dangerous. What starts as a casual trip turns into a heart pounding moment where we honestly thought we were about to get robbed. We break down the chaos, the fear, and the way our teenage brains handled the situation while laughing at how dramatic it all feels in hindsight. Along the way, we reflect on the reckless confidence, close calls, and unforgettable memories that shaped who we are now. 

In this episode, we break down the latest Jeffree Star controversy and the remarks that have been widely criticized as transphobic. From harmful talking points to tired internet tropes, we unpack why these comments sparked backlash, how they impact the transgender community, and what this says about influencer culture in 2025. Join us as we fact-check, drag (respectfully), and dissect the chaos while highlighting the importance of real LGBTQ+ allyship.

In this episode of Trans and Transparent, we unpack the phrase “Protect the dolls”—where it comes from, who it uplifts, and whether trans men feel left out of the love. We dig into community language, belonging, and how we can show up for each other with clarity and care.
