Episode notes

Sometimes trans rate arguments suggest like, prison is fine, but trans people shouldn't be in there. We live in a society that incars incarcerates so many people cause we don't know what to do with them. And i'm trying to kind of broaden her eyes and to think about like, ah, making people more equal, substantively economically. That would also make the biggest difference in those people's lives.

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.
