Support Sex, Gender Diversity! (TL-493) 12/26/2024

Support Sex, Gender Diversity! (TL-493) On one hand: Sex and gender are beautiful ways to express our individuality and to relate to each other within a wide spectrum of the human condition. On the other hand: Dictating sex and gender norms is senseless, arbitrary, and ultimately dangerous. Expectations of so-called “masculine” and “feminine” traits are promoted by idiots. Trans rights are opposed by bigots. Binary models are unscientific, thinly veiled hate disguised as innocent ignorance. The whole pile of BS is shoveled by cranks, bullies, bigots and morons without a leg to stand on. They are wrong, stupid, and mean. /episode/index/show/charlesbursell/id/34590605

Dear Santa (CBP-88) 12/22/2024

Dear Santa (CBP-88) Dear Santa, here is the list of things I want for Christmas. It’s pretty much the same list I ask for every year.

What To Do, Volume One (CBP-87) 12/15/2024

What To Do, Volume One (CBP-87) It’s easier to criticize the current system than it is to recommend solutions.

Justifiable? (TL-491) 12/12/2024

Smell the Glove (TL-490) 11/21/2024

Numbers Don’t Lie (TL-489) 11/14/2024
