Hil Malatino on Being Trans in this Moment
This week we are presenting Scott's interview with Hil Malatino, who is a current professor of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies and Philosophy at Penn State University. They are also the author of three books, Trans Care, Queer Embodiment: Monstrosity, Medical Violence, and Intersex Experience, and Side Affects: On Being Trans and Feeling Bad. Scott and Hil speak on many themes which are found in his books, plus lots more topics! Transcript PDF (Unimposed) Zine (Imposed PDF) Hil Malatino's work: Trans Care can be found on Manifold, or you can follow this link to read on the internet (https://manifold.umn.edu/read/trans-care/section/1898aaa3-6f9c-4d42-b06f-07860de1809c) or follow this link to get a paper copy. Queer Embodiment: Monstrosity, Medical Violence, and Intersex Experience Side Affects: On Being Trans and Feeling Bad A couple of annoucements… Giannis Michailidis Suspends Hunger Strike Anarchist prisoner of the Greek State, Giannis Michailidis, has been on hunger strike since May 23 to demand his release from prison after serving over 8 years in prison and experiencing added cruelties for refusing to bow to the cruelty of the state. There are rumors that the Greek state is betting on Giannis' death and a public reaction by refusing police vacations in the first half of August. Sympathetic comrades are invited to show resistance at sites related to the Greek state world wide, including embassies and consulates worldwide. You can follow and share solidarity with the hashtags: #free_michailidis #Michailidis_Hungerstrike #antireport You can read an update at EnoughIsEnough14.org Shinewhite Needs Help Joseph "Shinewhite" Stewart, a White Panther affiliate of the Revolutionary Intercommunal Black Panther Party incarcerated in North Carolina, has been denied his property since his recent transfer to Maury Correctional Institution and his supporters are asking for help pressuring the administration into easing off this activist. Maury CI: Phone: 252-653-5501 We believe the warden's email to be brett.simmons@ncdps.gov NCDPS commissioner's email is todd.ishee@ncdps.gov, though it's suggested you reach out to acting commissioner brandeshawn.harris@ncdps.gov An example script: "Hello, I am writing with regards to Joseph Stewart #0802041. Upon being transferred to Maury Correctional, the majority of Mr. Stewart's property was confiscated without good reason, including books and legal papers. I wish to demand that Mr. Stewart's belongings are returned to him in full immediately. Please be aware that outside observers are monitoring the situation closely, and that any further victimization of Mr. Stewart or other prisoners at Maury will have immediate consequences for the NC DPS, including, but not limited to, negative media publicity and potential legal action." Fundraising for TFSR Our recent interviews with the Anarchist Communist Combat Organization in Russia and Assembly.Org.UA in Ukraine were recently translated into German + Czech and German + Spanish, respectively, thanks to the transcripts being easily available for all online. But as I mentioned a couple of weeks back, we're not quite hitting our fundraising minimums to carry the transcription project forward. So we've made a few changes to our patreon that are pretty exciting. Here's a rundown. There is now a $3 tier that allows the patron access to occasional behind-the-scenes content like the hosts discussing upcoming episodes or subjects we're researching. And every support tier $5 and above will have access to that plus occasional early releases of content. But don't fret, non-patrons, we won't be releasing episodes that are patreon-only. Our audience will get access to each weekly episode as it always has. Anyway, check out patreon.com/tfsr for more details or tfsr.wtf/support for other ways to chip in to cover our transcription and other costs. And thanks for listening and supporting as you can.

Eleven of 13 biopsies are positive for prostate cancer. "Cancer kills, and it can kill fast. A friend with prostate cancer says his treatment started immediately upon diagnosis in an effort to stop the cancer from spreading to his lymph nodes and on to his bones, where it would be fatal. The Virginia Department of Corrections has already failed in its responsibility to provide even minimal care.

Abortion, Family, Queerness and Private Property with Sophie Lewis
This week, Scott and William talk to Sophie Lewis, author of Full Surrogacy Now: Feminism Against Family and the soon-to-be-released Abolish The Family A Manifest for Care and Liberation (out in October, 2022) about the current political moment that is characterized by attacks on trans people and peoples reproductive abilities. They also talk through what creates this moment, where trans people come into the target of State power being weaponized by the far right, as well as the connections among these attacks against LGBT education, access to transition, access to abortion and critical race theory. Also discussed are some limitations of a legalization framework around abortion, as opposed to a decriminalization, the limits of liberalism (particularly liberal feminism), and also the ways that certain strains of feminism contribute to an anti-trans discourse. Finally, there is chat about how to approach people needing support people who need access to healthcare, whether it be transition or abortion, outside of the hands of the state.
