The debate about trans rights is everywhere, from sports headlines to school board politics, but the people shouting the loudest are almost never trans folks themselves and often don’t even know any trans folks. So now more than ever, we all need to show up for our trans siblings. In this episode, Sarah Jones is joined by the incomparable actress and trans rights activist, Laverne Cox to discuss the monsoon of misinformation that our media uses to fearmonger about what exactly trans rights (and the attack on them) means for all of us, regardless of how we identify.
