In this episode we talk all about the current anti-trans climate, and the urgent necessity of allyship and solidarity with our trans siblings. As cis queer people, we discuss how the gender binary impacts us, as well as the responsibility we have to use our privilege in spaces where we have it, to fight for trans rights and liberation.
Part 3 covers the 'bathroom debate', the dangers of reducing women to their biology - for trans and cis women alike; how intersex people are often erased from the conversation; trans & non-binary inclusion in the workplace ... and much more. Kieron shares a story about a challenging conversation with a friend that ended up strengthening their friendship, and Ella gets on her soapbox (quite a lot). Enjoy!
The brief audio clip we play in this part is from the Man Enough podcast (in the episode Alok Vaid-Menon appears as the featured guest). Alok Vaid-Menon is a gender non-conforming author, poet, comedian, and public speaker who regularly speaks about dismantling the gender binary. Their full conversation can be found here and we would highly recommend listening to it in its entirety.
