Kai Cheng Thom’s ”Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars” Part 2

Hello, lightly-dusted vegan lemon squares! Marci and Ako are back for the LAST episode of the season before the summer short series! And today we are finishing the wonderful, profound, and witty Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars: A Dangerous Trans Girl's Confabulous Memoir by Kai Cheng Thom. Join the dynamic duo as they discuss the consequences of romanticization, the pancake/waffle debate (which somehow makes a reappearance), and of course, the second half of this confabulous memoir!

Intro: 00:11 – 17:29

Summary: 17:50 – 48:14

Discussion: 48:36 – 1:12:47

Content Warning: The episode does deal with violence against trans femmes and the summary section includes a couple of scenes of violence towards trans and queer folks. We do not delve deep into it, but please take care of yourselves especially at these points: 25:50-26:00, 30:00 – 30:30. Sexual Assault/Non-Consensual Behavior: 33:45 -35:27.
