Sex Changes

The most recent episode of the New Thoughts Podcast is ready for your ears.

In this episode, I examine recent Supreme Court decisions, North Carolina legislation, and Andrew Sullivan’s op-ed for the New York Times to explain how legal and cultural forces are shaping public views of Trans* loves and lives. I argue that Trans* people are figures of change. And it is change that the forces opposed to Trans* loves and lives want to end.

I also introduce basic ideas from gender studies, focusing on Judith Butler’s recent book, Who’s Afraid of Gender. I hope you will be inspired to advocate for and protect the dignity of Trans* people and the right of parents to support and care for their beloved Trans* kids.
