Episode 18: First Ballot Can't Park There Hall Of Famer
Hello! On this episode of Tran Girlismo, Jordan calls in from DA BIG APPLE BABY, which means our audio isn't quite as good as normal. Apologies in advance! We discuss the success of Jordan's art show and Victoria's photowalk; thank you to the incredible people of Pittsburgh and Seattle, the Transgender Paris and New York City of America, respectively (not to be confused with New York City, the Transgender Istanbul of America).
We then discuss one of the greatest Seattle Moments in recent memory, where someone drove their Mazda CX-5 so far down the Link light rail in Seattle they got stuck inside a station. If you're listening and that was you: Please stop driving! Forever! Next, we discuss Robby Starbuck's attempt to get Harley Davidson considered "woke" for the second time, and Victoria explains her disillusionment with pinkwashing after experiencing it up close. Finally, the girls discuss Stellantis, again. FaSTLAne2030, here we come. Christ.
Our intro theme as always is off of Stella Spazzatura's Horse Tranquilizer Simulator!

car makers have been doing paternalistic socialism since Ford originally required people to submit for morality, ethnicity, and religion assesments to get that 5$/day wage, they leave that off the tour at the Henry Ford. you're spot on that if they really cared about their employees the way they used to performatively do, thered be company wide unions as a side note, idk if you two ever went to the Henry Ford but its such a bizarre museum dedicated to a sanitized history of Ford. its cool to look at the stuff there but ignore the signage
Jordan repeating “it’s just the Pacifica” really sums up the whole situation.
Hey, just cause aces dont like having sex doesnt mean we cant be queer in other ways I throw bricks at cops every chance I get
The railbed you speak of is Bi-Block. https://ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.1061/%28ASCE%29GM.1943-5622.0001689
Thanks for the Pride episode!!! 💜. It's a Drag episode after all--You dragged Jordan into it 🤣
We need to give BeepBeep a gundam.
Re: "We Deserve This" maybe not hitting with the cis community the way you wanted, if it's any consolation, that book was the thing that finally (finally) cracked my egg and made me say "yeah it's time for me to start HRT." So happy Pride and thank you for that 💖 (And then like the next day before I could actually do anything, I got notice that my health insurance was cancelled. Okay, I wanted to live a trans woman life, but COME ON lol.)
If they are grey squirrels they are absolutely invasive, and while many of the birds who will visit you are also invasive some definitely won't be so... From someone who also fights to keep a grey squirrel free seattle yard.
Philadelphia Eagles are the closest thing we have to a non evil NFL team. The logo even faces left, Go Birds
I stand by my desire to see what Henrik Fisker would do with Stellantis.
This would actually be an incredible reality tv show. like The Apprentice but somehow smarter and dumber at the same time
I kick myself for not buying the LM pride socks when I worked there
Me listening to the explanation of the Red Baron "Squirrel Defender": "IF IT WORKS IT AIN'T DUMB"
If Red Baron pizza is the official pizza of half-Tran-Girlismo, we're not paying them enough 😢
Stellantis embracing ai cause someone said it makes RAM expensive
I'm enamored by the concept of Standard Unit Beepo.... how many stickers are 1Bp
please make embroidered Tran Girlismo polo shirts (not dri-fit). it fits the GT aesthetic. im begging, i cant wear t-shirts outside. alternatively, i will accept button up shop shirts. thank you
I appreciate this but polo shirts were my dysphoria fit so they’re my mortal enemy now lmao
On Queens Quay in Toronto there's a ramp where a streetcar line goes down into a tunnel. TWENTY-FIVE people (locals!) drove in and got beached or stuck in various ways https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/about-25-cars-have-driven-down-queens-quay-tunnel-tracks-since-2014-ttc-says-1.4571477 ...despite increasingly conspicuous signs, lights, and bollards.
I'm super embarrassed that the Seattle rail invader was from Utah. People don't want to believe me, but Utahn drivers are the ~worst~ because. Like I was in 7 car wrecks (as in inoperable car level) before I was 16, and 4 of those were rear-ends from trucks hauling trailers. /ETA: THREE TIMES I had to disembark TRAX because of car wrecks, and I directly saw one of those as the moron turned left into the train
Looks like I need to make my name longer and even more difficult.
