A Special Place in Hell

Autogynephilia Awareness Month

Jun 9, 2023
01:27:32

This week, the girls take their DGAF-ery to the next level and talk about the elephant in the gender room: AGP. Culture critic Andrea Long Chu, who has described autogynephilia in graphic detail (while wisely avoiding the term itself), won a Pulitzer Prize. Does this mean we’re finally allowed recognize the existence of something that gender activists say definitely doesn’t exist? Meanwhile, Sarah gets tough on pronouns and Meghan visits Target and is SHOCKED by what she finds in the kids clothing section: The tackiest tee-shirts she’s ever seen!

Plus: Was Amanda Gorman’s book really “banned” in Florida? Or is the “middle school library shelf” where books go to hide from a few unhinged parents?

IN THE BONUS FOR PAYING MEMBERS ONLY, the girls reflect on last week’s interview with sex work tycoon Aella, respond to listener complaints, and debate the pros, cons, and more cons of artificial wombs. Subscribe here to listen!
