Summary

Bryan, Christina, and Jules respond to the anti-trans attacks coming out of state legislatures across the country, particularly in Texas, where the governor and attorney general have tried to make caring for trans kids into a form of child abuse. Jules sketches out what a trans child’s life would look and feel like over the coming years as a result of these draconian bills and administrative attacks. Then they are joined by Michael Waters to discuss his recent piece for Slate about trans pioneer Barbara Ann Richards, who went to court in 1941 to legally change her name—and succeeded.

Items discussed in the show:

Lauren Groff discusses the writing of her novel Matrix on the podcast Women Who Travel

The GOP’s All-Out Assault on Trans People,” The Waves, March 3, 2022, featuring Jules Gill-Peterson and Evan Urquhart

Barbara Ann Richards Designed—and Then Demanded—the Life She Deserved,” by Michael Waters

True Sex: The Lives of Trans Men at the Turn of the Twentieth Century, by Emily Skidmore

Hello and welcome to Outward. I'm Christina Cotarucci, a senior writer at Slee,

0:17.6

and I want to tell you guys about an app that I recently learned about. As you know,

0:21.3

humans are almost all deficient in D. That's vitamin D. There's an app out there called D-Minder

0:28.2

that tells you when you can go out and get some D. Like when the sun is out and when it's an

0:33.5

optimal like D procuring time. So it'll tell you, you know, you have three more hours today to get your D.

0:39.4

The next time D is available is in 12 hours. So I just think our listeners are really the prime target for

you can get your D.

That sounds extremely helpful, Christina. Thank you. You're welcome. I'm Brian Lauder, editor of Outward,

1:08.1

Starburst brand jelly beans, in my opinion, are both the ideal form of starburst in terms

of texture and jelly beans in terms of flavor.

1:18.5

So all other versions are hereby canceled.

1:21.2

I made your life simpler.

1:22.4

You're welcome.

1:23.3

What's wrong with the classic starburst texture?

1:26.3

It's too chewing.

1:27.2

It gets in your teeth and hurts.

1:28.3

It does get stuck in your teeth.

1:29.3

Yeah.

1:29.5

Yeah.

1:30.0

That's that.
