Westin (they/them) and Easton (she/her), are joined by special guest Ivy (she/her/they) to discuss a buckwild TERF essay that Easton wishes had gone viral. Jean Hatchet, radical feminist and JK Rowling reply guy, wrote in defense of her hero's boobs, and hilarity ensued.

In part 3, Hatchet invents a hierarchical system for ranking women and blames trans women for it. She also makes up some hypothetical reasons to shame her own body, and blames trans women for it. Then, she does some breasting boobily, and shames trans women for it.

And of course, we reach the long-awaited Clappening.

Other threads include: the virtues of self-accountability, the mysteries of British grammar, what is and isn’t sexualization, the ableism of defining people by their body parts, the worst fanfiction of all time, and titty physics.

Content warning for transmisogyny and misogyny - specifically, gaslighting and projecting about the ways cis women antagonize the trans community, sexualizing trans women, and accusing trans women of being jealous of cis women. There is also body shaming and scrutiny, of course.

We apologize for any feedback or audio strangeness. We had some technical difficulties editing this one, but figured it’s been long enough and that we should go ahead and release as-is. We know this episode took a long time to come out, but we’re really proud of it. Thank y’all for bearing with us, and we’re happy to be back!
