This would be a fun podcast for undergrads to learn more about the measurement issues with Myers Briggs, and understand broader scale development. I love that the hosts also recognize why we enjoy tests that categorize us and make us feel good :)

NEW EPISODE: How a mother, a daughter and a crackpot Swiss psychologist gave us the world's most popular Buzzfeed quiz. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…

THE DAY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED I’M ACTUALLY SCREAMING, I’VE WAITED SO LONG, THIS HAS MAYBE MADE MY WHOLE DAMN YEAR @MaintenancePod

This month's bonus episode is a DIET BOOK DEEP DIVE patreon.com/posts/diet-boo…

New episode! We went a little easy on the Cass Report in our last episode, so we're back to [Mortal Kombat voice] FINISH HIM!!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bon…

This is everything I love about MP: queer people dunking on the cishets from the place of personal knowledge we all share, a cutting methodology review, two people making each other laugh about dark shit, a soundboard, and femmes👏getting👏laid👏.

Whether you need a little boost debunking the Cass Report or just are feeling confused by the onslaught of pseudoscience and trans issues — the latest episode or Maintenance Phase will fill your cup. Thank you, @RottenInDenmark and Aubrey Gordon!

it is actually hilarious how bad all of these studies are

The fact that this figures prominently into a recent episode of @MaintenancePod, I’m dying

Already 33 minutes into this episode and memories I had locked up in my brain from my time at Northwestern came rushing back out as soon as Michael said "fucksaw." 🙃 This is about to be a TUESDAY!

NEW EPISODE! The anti-trans movement can't stop stepping on the same rake: While trying to prove that kids are being rushed into hormones and surgeries, it ends up proving that they aren't. buzzsprout.com/1411126/152670…

Tomorrow!

Transphobes cite teen friend groups all coming into trans identity together as evidence of ROGD but they have it backwards. When I was a high schooler none of us were out but we were drawn to one another. It's almost like having something in common brings us closer together...

NEW EPISODE! Who should we trust to determine the best care for trans kids? Trans people, researchers and medical professionals — or an anonymous web forum of deranged parents? buzzsprout.com/1411126/150365…

We're back! We missed you! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cov…

We miss you too! We’re taking a little break so Aubrey can finish her next book and Mike can sort out his carpal tunnel. We’ll see you in 2024!

Please listen to this. It's the best explainer around ozempic/wegovy/semaglutide out there, and it makes a very clear the link between the discourse around weight loss "treatments" and fat phobia, & the real and incredibly harmful consequences of that for people in bigger bodies.
