Episode notes

There is no leke really strict gender binary. The effort to impose one will impact not only trans folks, but sis folks who are maybe gender on conforming or just visually don't fit a very traditional idea of here's what a man like, hears what a woman looks like. Transpeople are like a proxy for all this gender anxiety written large about, like feminism. So it's much better when it just becomes a technical problem that at coul be solved.

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.
