About the Pod

Join two best friends as they explore the intersection of technology, trans-feminism, and LGBTQ history. From profiling groundbreaking figures, pivotal moments, key locations and technological advances in trans and queer history, to unpacking the latest in culture and current events, Dot Femme is a deep dive into the past, present, and future of queer and trans liberation. Smart, sharp, and unapologetically bold—this is the podcast where history meets identity and resistance fuels innovation.
