In this season finale, diversity consultant Davey Shlasko breaks down the unconscious assumptions that make pronouns harder than they should be, why trying harder often backfires, and what being a genuine ally actually looks like in practice. Woven through his advice, you'll hear from the community voices you've met all season talking about what it feels like to be on the receiving end. We cover the science of why you "miscategorize" trans people, how to recover from misgendering without making it about yourself, and how to show up for trans people even when there are no trans people in the room. Plus: a pronoun exercise that is genuinely kind of fun. If you've listened to this whole season, this episode is where it all lands. <br /><br />Resources from Davey Shlasko:<br /><ul><li>Trans Allyship Workbook: <a href="https://bookshop.org/p/books/trans-allyship-workbook-building-skills-to-support-trans-people-in-our-lives-davey-shlasko/3f4e67304056522a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://bookshop.org/p/books/trans-allyship-workbook-building-skills-to-support-trans-people-in-our-lives-davey-shlasko/3f4e67304056522a</a></li><li>Think Again Training: <a href="https://www.thinkagaintraining.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.thinkagaintraining.com/</a></li></ul>Citations &amp; transcript: <a href="https://www.tabooscience.show/trans-101-how-to-be-an-ally-without-making-it-weird/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tabooscience.show/trans-101-how-to-be-an-ally-without-making-it-weird/</a><br /><br />Connect with the show:<br /><ul><li>Join the Patreon: <a href="https://patreon.com/tabooscience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://patreon.com/tabooscience</a></li><li>Leave me a voice memo: <a href="https://podline.fm/tabooscience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://podline.fm/tabooscience</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tabooscience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/tabooscience</a></li><li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@tabooscience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@tabooscienc</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/tabooscience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">e</a></li><li>Website: <a href="https://www.tabooscience.show/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tabooscience.show/</a> </li></ul>Loved this episode?

But new research shows that's not the full picture—and avoiding the conversation isn't protecting anyone. This episode explores the largest study ever designed to understand detransition, featuring two people with completely opposite experiences. One transitioned in her twenties and later regretted it, losing her entire friend group not when she detransitioned but when she admitted the regret. The other was blocked from hormones by a gatekeeping therapist and spent 13 years forced to live as the wrong gender before finally retransitioning. One needed more scrutiny before accessing care, the other needed fewer barriers—yet both were failed by the system. Researcher Kinnon MacKinnon breaks down what the data actually shows and why preventing detransition might be the wrong goal entirely. This isn't ammunition for either side of the political battle.

Welcome to dating while trans. In this episode, we're exploring the disclosure dilemmas, infrastructure failures, and stigma that make dating "super hell" for trans people—featuring author and theorist Julia Serano (Whipping Girl). You'll hear why the design of dating apps fails trans people, how anti-trans stigma poisons relationships even when the attraction is real, what "chasers" are and why the fetish mindset is so harmful, and why trans women face wildly different (and more dangerous) dating experiences than trans men. Not attracted to trans people?

Turns out "I love you, I believe you" goes a long way—but it's also way more complicated than that. In this episode, we're exploring why parents have the hardest time with transition, why aunts and grandmothers often step up when parents can't, and whether families who reject ever come back around (most do!). We'll hear from parents about those pivotal coming-out moments and the fears that kept them up at night, break down why rejection usually isn't sudden and why extended family tends to be more accepting than you'd expect, and talk to trans people about what it's like when your family doesn't accept you—and how some are thriving anyway. This episode won't sugarcoat how hard the current moment is, but it will show you that family acceptance isn't the only path to a good life.<br /><br />Listen to the Transparently Speaking podcast: <a href="https://transparentlyspeakingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://transparentlyspeakingpodcast.buzzsprout.com/</a> <br /><br />Learn about the Family Housing and Me project, cofounded by Amy Stone: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/fhamproject/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/fhamproject/</a> <br /><br />See citations and a transcript here:<a href="https://www.tabooscience.show/trans-101-finding-healthcare-that-wont-kill-you/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://www.tabooscience.show/trans-101-when-a-loved-one-comes-out-what-should-you-do/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tabooscience.show/trans-101-when-a-loved-one-comes-out-what-should-you-do/</a><br /><br />Connect with the show:<br /><ul><li>Join the Patreon: <a href="https://patreon.com/tabooscience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://patreon.com/tabooscience</a></li><li>Leave me a voice memo: <a href="https://podline.fm/tabooscience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://podline.fm/tabooscience</a></li><li>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tabooscience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.instagram.com/tabooscience</a></li><li>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@tabooscience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.youtube.com/@tabooscienc</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/tabooscience" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">e</a></li><li>Website: <a href="https://www.tabooscience.show/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tabooscience.show/</a> </li></ul>Loved this episode?

They explore how mainstream technology often excludes trans people—from face filter apps designed for cisgender amusement to healthcare systems that force patients to become DIY experts. Haimson reveals why trans people are simultaneously more tech-savvy and more skeptical of AI than the general population, and discusses how online communities provide lifelines for isolated trans people in rural areas. The conversation tackles the tension between scrappy, community-built solutions and the burden of maintaining them, while highlighting tools that help allies learn without putting emotional labor on trans people.

And honestly? They're probably right. In this episode of Taboo Science, we're pulling back the curtain on a healthcare system that requires trans patients to prove they're "really trans," charges thousands of dollars for basic care, and somehow graduates doctors who've never learned how to treat trans bodies. You'll hear from sociologist stef shuster about the folklore of trans medicine that doctors still believe, psychologist Stephanie Budge about the critical difference between over-emphasizing and under-emphasizing gender in treatment, and comedian Max Gross about what it's like to be your own medical educator at every single appointment.

The left says nothing permanent is happening. They're both oversimplifying, but they're not equally wrong. <br /><br />Meet Maya, who started transitioning at 13 with puberty blockers, then hormones, then surgery at 16. Now 25 and thriving, she walks us through what actually happened—and why she says it saved her life. We also talk to pediatrician Dr. Michelle Forcier, who breaks down the real medical process.

The left says nothing permanent is happening. They're both oversimplifying, but they're not equally wrong. <br /><br />Meet Maya, who started transitioning at 13 with puberty blockers, then hormones, then surgery at 16. Now 25 and thriving, she walks us through what actually happened—and why she says it saved her life. We also talk to pediatrician Dr. Michelle Forcier, who breaks down the real medical process. We're busting the "most trans kids change their minds" myth with actual research, covering what puberty blockers really do, why some trans kids hate being on them, and the question nobody wants to ask: what happens to kids who don't get care?

Follow trans creators? Have trans friends? Cool. But if you're like most people—even the well-meaning ones—you probably know just enough about trans people to be dangerous. In this episode, we're dismantling the "born in the wrong body" narrative and exploring what being trans actually means.

In this final Philias episode, we're flying feet first into foot fetishes. Social psychologist Dr. Justin Lehmiller breaks down the origins of fetishes (and the truth to that "crossed wires in the brain" factoid), while writer and "Educatrix" Tina Horn gives us the lowdown on why feet can be such a turn-on. We also step into the cultural aspects of foot fascination and debunk some common misconceptions. Whether you're a foot fanatic yourself or just interested in what makes people tick, this episode will shed light on a often misunderstood aspect of human sexuality.

Whether you're a seasoned kinkster or vanilla as they come, this episode is guaranteed to teach you something fascinating about human desire. Just don't blame me if you suddenly develop an urge to splosh around in some baked beans.See citations and a transcript here: <a href="https://www.tabooscience.show/?p=637" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tabooscience.show/046-kinksampler/</a>Get 30% off of Tailor Mushrooms with code "taboo" here: <a href="https://www.tailor.store/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tailor.store/</a>Need music for a project?

From the psychological and emotional aspects to the truly prolific amount of gear options, we explore what draws people to this kink and how it can be a source of comfort, coping, and even healing. With the help of researcher B.

With the help of paraphilia researcher Alexandra Zidenberg and hosts of the zoophile podcast Zooier Than Thou, we'll unravel what it really means to be attracted to animals. We'll learn what it is that attracts "zoos" to non-human animals, explore the hot-button issue of animal consent, wrestle with the ethics of bestiality, understand the incredible diversity within the zoophile community itself, and hear about the immense challenges zoophiles face in a society that's quick to judge what they don't understand.

In this episode of Taboo Science, we're stepping out and diving in to cuckolding, the real-life kink and lifestyle all about the thrill of your partner sleeping with someone else. Join us as we chat with clinical psychologist Dr. David Ley and popular cuckolding podcaster Venus Cuckoldress, who shed light on the psychological quirks and deep emotional connections in this often misunderstood practice. We're also breaking down how it all plays into the complicated dynamics of race, power, and gender.

But on this episode, we're digging beneath the stereotypes to uncover the truth about this misunderstood community. We'll chat with furry researcher Dr. Courtney Plante along with Riley Black, a science writer and a furry herself, to explore what the furry culture is really all about, from the artistry of fursuits to the appeal of fursonas. And yes, we'll go there—investigating whether being a furry is actually a fetish (spoiler alert: for most, it's not, but for the others, we'll explore why).

But on this episode, we're digging beneath the stereotypes to uncover the truth about this misunderstood community. We'll chat with furry researcher Dr. Courtney Plante along with Riley Black, a science writer and a furry herself, to explore what the furry culture is really all about, from the artistry of fursuits to the appeal of fursonas. And yes, we'll go there—investigating whether being a furry is actually a fetish (spoiler alert: for most, it's not, but for the others, we'll explore why). So put your preconceptions aside and get ready to learn what makes the furry community so fascinating—and maybe even find yourself with an urge to join in the fun.

The premiere episode of Taboo Science's new miniseries "Philias": an exploration into the science of kinks and fetishes. In this 101 episode, we learn the difference between a kink, fetish, paraphilia, and paraphilic disorder; we'll take a tour of the many, many kinds of kink that exist; and we'll find out what scientists know about where these desires come from—and what they don't know. With insights from renowned paraphilia researcher Christian Joyal and pornstar/internet celebrity/kink researcher Aella, we'll dismantle society's narrow definitions of "normal" sex and shed light on humanity's boundless sexual creativity. Whether you're a seasoned kinkster or you're just here for the science, this premiere is a salacious must-listen.

The premiere episode of Taboo Science's new miniseries "Philias": an exploration into the science of kinks and fetishes. In this 101 episode, we learn the difference between a kink, fetish, paraphilia, and paraphilic disorder; we'll take a tour of the many, many kinds of kink that exist; and we'll find out what scientists know about where these desires come from—and what they don't know. With insights from renowned paraphilia researcher Christian Joyal and pornstar/internet celebrity/kink researcher Aella, we'll dismantle society's narrow definitions of "normal" sex and shed light on humanity's boundless sexual creativity. Whether you're a seasoned kinkster or you're just here for the science, this premiere is a salacious must-listen.

Twilight. The Shape of Water. What do these stories have in common? Humans and monsters getting down and dirty. This episode explores the surprising psychology behind "monsterf*ckers" — people attracted to creatures like vampires, werewolves, and tentacled beasts. Hear from researcher Ella Gallego about her study on monstrous desire, which reveals how and why women and LGBTQ+ people are particularly entranced by these inhuman love interests. We’ll trace the history of monster erotica through the medieval church’s preoccupation with demon sex, the horny throughline of vampire movies, and the incredibly surprising history of tentacle porn. Bare your neck and put on your hottest swamp bikini: it’s time to discover the connection between monsters, sex, and our deepest desires.Resources from Ella Gallego:<ul><li>Monstrous Desire Study: <a href="https://monstrousdesirestudy.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://monstrousdesirestudy.com/</a></li><li>Monstrous Desire TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@monstrousdesire" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tiktok.com/@monstrousdesire</a></li><li>Monstrous Desire Study podcast: <a href="https://pod.link/1707753667" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://pod.link/1707753667</a></li></ul><br />Listen to S1E3 Penises (with Dr. Emily Willingham): <a href="https://www.tabooscience.show/003-penises/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tabooscience.show/003-penises/</a>See citations and a transcript here: <a href="https://www.tabooscience.show/?p=559" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tabooscience.show/s3e13-attraction-to-monsters/</a>Need music for a project?

Do thoughts of the apocalypse keep you up at night? Feeling guilty about unsustainable habits? With climate change becoming a stark reality, more and more of us are grappling with anxiety over our planet's environmental crisis. Today, environmental psychologist Thomas Doherty sheds light on the emerging field of climate-conscious therapy — a response to this very real mental health impact. He explains how therapists are equipping themselves to counsel those struggling with climate anxiety, and how people can restructure their 'pyramid of issues' to create healthier coping mechanisms that will help them navigate these challenging times. You’ll hear about the three-pronged mental health impact of climate change: the direct disaster effects, far-reaching social implications, and the indirect repercussions. You’ll also learn strategies to help you express your environmental values and narratives so you can feel more empowered to get out there and do something. Resources about Thomas Doherty:<ul><li><a href="https://climatechangeandhappiness.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Climate Change and Happiness podcast</a></li><li><a href="https://selfsustain.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Thomas Doherty’s practice, Sustainable Self</a></li></ul><br />See citations and a transcript here: <a href="https://www.tabooscience.show/?p=537" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tabooscience.show/s3e10-climateanxiety/</a>Need music for a project?

In this remastered episode, Gerard Sanacora, director of the Yale Depression Research Program and Co-director of the Yale Interventional Psychiatry Service, reveals that even doctors don't fully get the biological roots behind depression's mix of mental and physical woes. But that doesn't mean we don't have effective treatments — and those treatments are only getting better.

In this remastered episode, Gerard Sanacora, director of the Yale Depression Research Program and Co-director of the Yale Interventional Psychiatry Service, reveals that even doctors don't fully get the biological roots behind depression's mix of mental and physical woes. But that doesn't mean we don't have effective treatments — and those treatments are only getting better. For example, ketamine and psilocybin are being studied as unconventional treatments to reshape depressed brains.

With the help of Dr. Kate Clancy, a professor at the University of Illinois and author of Period: The Real Story of Menstruation, this episode dives deep into the misconceptions, stigmas, and hidden truths about menstruation. Uncover the true purpose of periods, debunk the idea of a 'normal' period, and explore how environmental factors and personal experiences can impact menstrual cycles. We touch on premenstrual dysphoric disorder, PCOS, and endometriosis, along with the stigma associated with menstrual blood and why efforts to give menstrual products to girls in the global South are misguided.

In this episode, historian Hanne Blank Boyd flips the script on how we view sexual orientation, showing how the concept of "heterosexuality" has only existed for around 150 years. Hanne traces how modern capitalism led "heterosexual" to emerge as a term for normal, moral sexuality, allowing the middle class to prove their respectability. Even now, assuming heterosexuality as the default norm skews scientific research on sexuality. Being straight isn't as simple as being attracted to the opposite sex — it's all encompassing and ever changing. Tune in to find out why.

Today we're stripping down the complicated concept of nudity with <a href="https://www.sydney.edu.au/arts/about/our-people/academic-staff/ruth-barcan.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dr. Ruth Barcan</a>, honorary associate professor at the University of Sydney in Australia. We'll explore the meanings, reactions, and laws surrounding nudity, from how art influenced our perception of nudity to the complex legalities of female toplessness in the US. Oh yeah, and we're getting deep into the nudism movement, which has an origin story you'll be telling people about at parties.Pick up Ruth Barcan's book Nudity: A Cultural Anatomy right here: <a href="https://amzn.to/3p7E7EI" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://amzn.to/3p7E7EI</a>See citations and a transcript here: <a href="https://www.tabooscience.show/s3e5-nudity/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.tabooscience.show/s3e5-nudity/</a>Need music for a project?

Sociology PhD candidate Canton Weiner shares invaluable insights from his research while Sarah Costello, co-host of the podcast "Sounds Fake, But Okay," opens up about her personal experience being aro-ace, or aromantic asexual. We examine the split attraction model and shed light on various types of attraction, delve into the history of asexuality with pioneers like Magnus Hirschfeld and Alfred Kinsey, and discover how the rise of the internet has shaped the asexual community.

Bergen)</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/profanity-with-benjamin-k-bergen--67563497</link><description><![CDATA[What makes a word profane? Why are my swear words different from my parents'? If swearing is so bad, why do we do it? And what can a culture's swear words tell us about the things they hold taboo? "The way that words become powerful is by the taboos against using them."  Dr. Ben Bergen is a professor of cognitive science at UC San Diego and author of "What the F? What Swearing Reveals About Our Language, Our Brains and Ourselves". He is an expert on the cultural and neurological aspects of profanity. Dr. Ben Bergen, a professor in cognitive science, found that the power behind profanity is rooted in the taboos and cultural judgments surrounding them. Through his research, he discovered that words related to sex, bodily functions, and religion were the most offensive, but for younger generations, slurs and words that cause harm are more offensive. Young people have an enlightened view that profanity won't cause any harm unless it is used for malicious purposes. Words have power, and even though profane words can be hurtful, they can also show us that we are funny, genuine, and accessible.  In this episode, you will learn the following: 1.

If swearing is so bad, why do we do it? And what can a culture's swear words tell us about the things they hold taboo? "The way that words become powerful is by the taboos against using them."  Dr. Ben Bergen is a professor of cognitive science at UC San Diego and author of "What the F? What Swearing Reveals About Our Language, Our Brains and Ourselves". He is an expert on the cultural and neurological aspects of profanity. Dr. Ben Bergen, a professor in cognitive science, found that the power behind profanity is rooted in the taboos and cultural judgments surrounding them. Through his research, he discovered that words related to sex, bodily functions, and religion were the most offensive, but for younger generations, slurs and words that cause harm are more offensive. Young people have an enlightened view that profanity won't cause any harm unless it is used for malicious purposes. Words have power, and even though profane words can be hurtful, they can also show us that we are funny, genuine, and accessible.  In this episode, you will learn the following: 1. How do words become powerful and profane? 2. What has changed in the way that younger generations view profanity? 3. Can words actually cause harm?
