Advocating For Trans People In Public Forums

Hosts: Ez (he/him) and Bette (she/they)

This week Ez (he/him) and Bette (she/they) discuss useful strategies for engaging in debate around trans topics, both for trans folks and for cis allies. They go deep in the weeds seeking the truth about anti-trans talking points like “detransition” and “biological males”, and explain why clarity is so important when talking about the nuances of sex and gender
