Transgender Rights Aren't 'Far-Left.' They're Human Rights. (67)
Transgender rights are often mislabeled as a "far-left" issue, but that framing erases the humanity at the center of the conversation. In this episode, I call out the confusion between political strategies and basic human rights, and why it's crucial to remember we're talking about people, not politics.
I also share a list of memoirs and stories to deepen your understanding, including:
- Sissy by Jacob Tobia
- Pageboy by Elliot Page
- Redefining Realness by Janet Mock
- Tomorrow Will Be Different by Sarah McBride
- All Boys Aren't Blue by George M. Johnson
- Becoming Nicole by Amy Ellis Nutt
- Love Wins Out by Dr. Rizi N.B. Timane
- Letters for My Brothers by Megan Rohrer and Zander Keig
Correction: In the episode, I mistakenly said Love Wins Out was written by Dr. Rizi N.B. Nutt. The correct author is Dr. Rizi N.B. Timane.
