Podcast: Unboxing Trans History & Right Wing Rapists

We have the largest trans archive still in the community’s hands and we share with you some of the recent acquisitions from the last couple of weeks. This invariably wraps back around to current political narratives about trans people and we notice that anti-trans politicians seem to have a few skellies in their own closets!

On the Pod: Cristan Williams, Robin Mack, and Alexis Melvin.
