Episode 151: M.E. O'Brien

Ozzy and Tuck chat with author M.E. O'Brien (she/her), whose work explores trans communist futures. Topics include:

  • What can family abolition offer trans people?
  • The limits of chosen family under capitalism
  • Why we shouldn't replace family with The State, either
  • The similarities between her psychoanalyst and oral history work
  • Plus: Why protest camps are important visions of the future

This Week in Gender: Japan's Supreme Court lets a trans woman pee, but trans and queer Japanese people still lack basic rights.

Find M.E. at genderhorizon.com and @genderhorizon. An archive of her work is available on Patreon. Don't forget to pick up a copy of Family Abolition and Everything for Everyone.

We've got a new family abolition design in the merch shop this month.

Submit a piece of Theymail: a small message or ad that we'll read on the show. Today's message was from Tiny Parade Coaching.
