Halloween Horror: Reclaiming the Monster

Picture it — the moon is full, the fog is thick, and the monster… is us! In this episode, RJ (they/them) dives fang-first into the history of trans representation in horror — from monstrous mirrors and misunderstood villains to the beautiful, bloody art of reclaiming our power.

P.S. My deepest apologies for the late drop. I need time to come to terms with my extreme voice dysphoria while editing this episode :(
