Episode notes

The far right has used transgenderism and an progressive thought on gender in general, to stoke reactionary fervor against the l g b t community. I think we're seeing it kind of come out all over the place and sort of crawl out of the woodwork, as it were. People who are different are not the reason that our roads are in bad shape after decades of disinvestment,. or that health care costs are too high., she says.

Accounts like “Libs of TikTok” are fueling right-wing media to label people who speak openly about sexuality and gender as “groomers.” Vox’s Aja Romano and the Washington Post’s Taylor Lorenz explain this age-old practice.

This episode was produced by Miles Bryan and Will Reid, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Paul Mounsey, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
