This week’s episode is from Tilly’s Trans Tuesdays, a podcast hosted by Tilly Bridges (@heckyeahtillybridges). You may recognize Tilly from our episode on The Matrix! This episode is so much fun and perfect for kicking off your hot gay summer. It’s all about the trans allegory woven throughout the Barbie movie! If you enjoy the episode, there’s a lot more where that came from. Subscribe to Tilly’s Trans Tuesdays to hear the rest of Tilly’s multi-part series on Barbie. ---------------------------------------- Do you guys ever think about dying? The BARBIE movie rocked my world, and I instantly connected with it on a fundamental level, even beyond the surface feminist story. Do you wanna know why? Do you wanna know why you saw so many trans people, especially trans women, talking about how much this movie meant to them and the tears it brought? My friends, it's because BARBIE is one hundo percent an intentional (?!) trans allegory! Come along on this 8-week journey as I show you all the inherent, beautiful transness within! This week: context, why it's Funny Pink MATRIX, the film's visual language, and we learn all about Barbie's world of lies! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
