Pushback Overkill

There's a phenomena that happens a lot in the trans and queer community that's hard to define, but when you're so used to having to fight for every single little thing you deserve, it's too easy to sometimes go too far and end up hurting people. Let's go through some examples and talk about how to spot it and why we need to stop it. The 4400 and Clean Slate writer Shomari Kirkwood returns to discuss the joy of building yourself. Tired of working your core? Blow glass!
