Summary
Every day, attacks on trans kids grow louder, and more anti-trans bills keep moving through state legislatures. How did this happen? In Episode 1 of the Anti-Trans Hate Machine Season 2, we tell you how lessons learned by Christian Nationalists twenty years ago, in the fight to undermine gay rights by preserving conversion therapy, set the stage for today. Join us as we show how the ability to manufacture pseudoscientific theories and push them out in the mainstream across three decades led to today’s crisis.
