Summary

Who’s to blame for the murder of Brandon Teena?

This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes back Alarmy favorite Tony Rodriguez to discuss the deeply disturbing assault and eventual murder of Brandon Teena. How big of a role did a lack of Trans visibility in 90’s America play in this senseless crime? Did Brandon fall prey to the dangers of a small town mentality? Or was he the unfortunate victim of a fundamental lack of humanity? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join this difficult yet timely conversation.
