Tuck gives a quick overview of the many breaking trans news stories from the last few days. Then, we revisit our conversation with activist and labor organizer Alyssa Pariah (she/her). Topics include:
- How the Black Lives Matter movement supports trans liberation better than many LGBTQ orgs
- How bail funds can save Black trans lives
- Coping with survivor's guilt as a 32-year-old trans woman of color
- Also: an army of trans bitches in the class war!
This Week In Gender: The Trump administration's short-lived rollback of healthcare anti-discrimination protections; today's SCOTUS decision (sort of!); Dominique "Rem'mie" Fells; Riah Milton; Layleen Polanco Xtravaganza; and more.
Learn more about the Black Trans Protesters Emergency Fund; Black & Pink; TJI Justice Project; Audre Lorde Project; Don’t Shoot PDX; Critical Resistance; Pride at Work; and Jobs with Justice. (Also, never cross a picket line!)
