Episode-18b: Transphobia Revisited (part 2)

Update: 2025-03-18

Description

Like we were saying in Part 1, much has changed about transphobia, how the vanilla population understands (or more accurately, does notunderstand transgender people.

In Part 2, we're focusing on the "moral" objections often made about trans people, and we'll dig into the root of those objections. Here's a hint... it almost always boils down to religion, or more precisely, to the religious right's predilection for (as Jeri Ann puts it) "bellying up to the scripture buffet", to cherry pick the passages they believe will substantiate their judgement. You guessed it... we will not let that stand.
