Just a quick heads up, that this episode of the TransLash podcast was recorded before Tuesday's primary elections in Michigan.

Hey, fam, it's me, Amara. Welcome to the TransLash podcast, a show where we tell trans stories to save trans lives.

to our community. That's why I'm excited to tell

you about a new initiative we're launching for our most dedicated listeners. It's a new show
