Summary

Jules speaks about her book A Short History of Trans Misogyny, the need to integrate material analysis into trans politics, and how it is that such a (relatively) small population of people have become the subject of such a high degree of political ire. Transcript forthcoming. This episode was recorded live at the 2024 Socialism Conference in Chicago in early September. We collaborated with conference organizers to host five discussions there over labor day weekend. Today's episode is the final recording to be released from those sessions.
