The Parent Trap. Shrier's "Irreversible Damage"

In this very special episode of Cracked Ivory, Emma traps Talia and Lucy Kartikasari (she/they/he, luckartikasari on TikTok) on a call and subjects them to Abigail Shrier's opinions on transition, teenage sex, and race. Irreversible Damage is a fear-mongering screed combined with a how-to child abuse guide aimed at the parents of young trans children, a manifesto stating plain that children owe their parents not merely their lives and future earnings, but their very bodies and sex, neither of...

Sister Raymond's Transmisogyny Bible. Raymond's 'The Transsexual Empire'

Today, Talia and Emma dissect The Transsexual Empire, a foundational text for the modern gender-critical movement.

Please Just Take Testosterone. Halberstam's "Female Masculinity"

Is there a difference between trans men and butch lesbians? Are non-transitioning queer people like refugees? And most importantly, HOW MUCH SEX ARE THEY HAVING IN THE MEN'S BATHROOM? This episode, Emma and Talia are joined by Isaac (The Trans Dandy, he/they/ze) to discuss Jack Halberstam's psychedelic experience Female Masculinity, a work of queer theory with a truly unearned reputation as 'representative' of the transmasculine experience.

Arson, Murder, Fandom. Aburime's "Transphobia, homonationalism, and anti-Asian prejudice in anti-BL attitudes"

Talia and Emma are joined by May Peterson (she/her, goddessblade.bsky.social) to discuss the sizzling and steamy world of M/M romance fiction and ask: Does having critiques of M/M media make you racist?! A single Tumblr callout post that somehow managed to become an academic paper snowballs into a discussion on identity politics, transfeminine erasure, and the anti-intellectualism inherent to a discursive environment that relies more on vibes than actual arguments when discussing not merely f...

Whose Intersectionality Is It Anyway? Crenshaw's Theory of Intersectionality

For the first episode of Cracked Ivory, Talia and Emma are joined by legal historian and queer feminist of color Kay (who can be found at dihya-bint-neyth.bsky.social on Bluesky) to discuss Kimberlé Crenshaw’s oft-cited yet sparsely-read theory of intersectionality, along with its implications for masculinity studies, critics of feminism, and Ben Shapiro’s fear of bottoming.
