Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Jasmine Crockett
exchanged heated words on the House floor. Greene commented on
Crockett's eyelashes, and Crockett referred to Greene's body as
"butch." We dive into the history of these two attacks, and look at
what history the two representatives were pulling from — from
misogynoir to transphobia. And what does this say about what we
want from our politicians? Brittany is joined by NPR's Alana Wise
and writer Kerry Manders.

Then, 'The Matrix' came out 25 years ago, and became an instant
classic. It's a powerful story for both trans people and incels who
"took the red pill." What makes the movie's core metaphor so widely
appealing (and widely applicable)? Brittany is joined by critic
Emily St. James and critic James Wilmes.
