Episode notes

The Supreme Court ruled in a case called bostock, that transgenter people were protected from discrimination under federal title seven of the federal civil rights act. So i think it's really important to have a nondiscrimination law that protects people from discrimination. And if there's more more transitor equality, i don't disagree with that narrative. What i'd like to do is say that story is only possible because of the successes of what people call second way feminism and legal reform.

Trans people have existed as long as, you know, people have. But the barriers to legal inclusion and equality are still higher than most people realize. “Sex is as Sex Does” author Paisley Currah joins Adam to discuss why institutions have been slow to give legal recognition to trans identities, why Republicans have shifted their attacks from bathroom policies to trans youth in sports, and why the struggle for trans equality is tied to feminism and women’s liberation.
