Transphobia, White Fear and Elections

Episode Description

TransLash Podcast host Imara Jones talks with Kai Wright, who hosts WNYC’s The United States of Anxiety, about the links between transphobia, the history of fear in America and the 2020 elections. 

Plus, Marquise Vilson, a Black-trans actor and activist, opens up about the importance of transmasculine representation and using his platform to combat violence against trans women of color in our Transform segment highlighting incredible work from change-makers in our communities.

For a moment of trans joy, Imara commemorates what would’ve been the 75th birthday of the legendary Stonewall activist Marsha P. Johnson with Victoria Cruz, a longtime friend of Marsha’s and change-making LGBTQ+ organizer in her own right.
