No Pride without Black Trans Liberation and Reparations--Not Rations, Pooh. Black trans liberation, much like Black liberation and the liberation of all oppressed peoples across the globe, requires a complete redistribution and reorganization of the current power structure/status quo--is GLAAD ready? Is GLSEN ready? Are you ready? Alt episode titles: How do we respond to white violence? (aka what's the proper procedure?) Coddling of the dominant narratives and who gets permission to be tardy to the party? The faux care economy and celebrity machine--who actually cares and do we, as marginalized peoples, need them to?
