Episode notes

In new york, you can get nombinery on your birth certificate. But the larger, kind of cultural common sense around gender is still in place for every other baby. So it's not like we've totally erased gender. It's just like, oh, the transter constituet constituency, which we like, cause the gays like them and they're really big. This is what they want. We'l let them change therr documents. I want oameliorate that. Well, i think what one can do is, like, give people both certificates that don't have a general classification.

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.
