  • What We Talk About When We Talk About Puberty Blockers

    What We Talk About When We Talk About Puberty Blockers
    Dec 19 2025
    Hosts: Ez (he/him) and Bette (she/they) This week Ez (he/him) and Bette (she/they) are in studio discussing "What we talk about when we talk puberty blockers." I know another episode on these dam blockers! But don't worry we're trying to help you and your potentially cis allied crew with some ways to combat the hate and dis/misinformation war on trans kids. Bette and Ez mention some resources that can arm you with tools to fight back. Such as the Trans Justice Projects - Anti-trans disinformation handbook and Puberty Blockers Overview of the Research. Ez also updated you on community events and news such as The Australian Bureau of Statistics and the 2026 Census, and in the UK Transgender Women and Girls banned from GirlGuiding and Women’s Institutes. Ez later in the episode reads a poem by Dora Santana - 'Proximity, Intimacy, Togetherness' from the book 'When Language Broke Open: An Anthology of Queer and Trans Black Writers of Latin American Descent'.
