Trans Politics 1: Stop Tolerating Transphobia
Summary
This week we dive into a two-part discussion on politics as it relates to transness, and this week is all about the ways people directly or indirectly support and condone transphobia. And how, if you do that, you are not in fact my friend or an ally to trans people. We'll look at two painful examples from my own life to illustrate the harm many cis people perpetuate, sometimes without even realizing it. Pinole City Treasurer candidate Rafael Menis joins us to discuss the rotation of power! Who wants to drink from the firehose of bigotry?
