PWP 9: Let the Trans Community Flourish

Episode Summary

In this episode, Justin and Rebecca talk about the anti-trans legislation currently being presented, passed, and fought against throughout the US. Though we did do research, this episode is primarily our response to these bills and how they are hurting the trans communities, trans kids, and just the US at large. Policies like these are so often done under the guise of "protecting" children, when they are actually hurting them. It's a very heated episode, and Rebecca turns into a literal goblin at the end.
