S2E43: BTM: Big Trans Mechs

This week, Percy is joined by Tristan B. Willis and CJ Linton to talk about mecha stories and their connection to trans embodiment, as well as the kinds of stories they personally resonate with in terms of queerness and gender.

Additionally, noting here that after we recorded this episode, Tristan changed their name, so they are occasionally referred to by their old name in this recording!
