Episode notes

Right wing appears to have this kind of absolutest discourse is like, you know, it's bad to be transgender. It's pretty clear that they're gong to soon be attacking genderforming care for adults. So i think what we need to do is just focus on actual people and the harm that we face from these policies.

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.
