A note: These are preserved in their original format, with their original descriptions. There are some things in here I cringe at now ("transwomen" rather than "trans women", my incorrect understanding of cultural appropriation in one episode, and there's probably other things). But, in the interest of preserving things accurately, I have left them as-is. Perhaps in the future I will add things like content warnings, NSFW notices, and notes where my opinion has grown over time. I welcome your feedback.
