Thank you to all of our trans contributors - Maxx, Dee, Sarah and Jasper. Your willingness to contribute was humbling. And thank you to friend-of-the-podcast Josh Belperio for joining us for the discussion.
Welcome to our first Taboo Tuesday, our new special where we will be discussing broader pop-culture topics and current affairs. In response to author J.K. Rowling's latest slew of transphobic tweets, we give a feminist critique to her Twitter feed (#citeyasourcesjo) and hear from members of the trans community about how this has affected them and their community.
Please note: the audio file has been updated since its initial release to incorporate feedback from our trans contributors.
