Episode 11: Trans Feminism & Beyond the Gender Spectrum FemmSouth

Join us as we explore Sarah McBride's book, "Tomorrow Will Be Different," a touching, personal memoir that covers her transition story, her journey into transgender activism, and the tragic loss of her husband to cancer. Sarah's book is also a primer on the many complex issues facing the transgender community through the lens of her life as a transgender woman and LGBTQ+ activist. It's a great way for people who are not already personally connected to the trans world to engage with empathy and understanding.

Sarah's story is also an avenue to explore the ways in which the issues faced by the trans community arise from the same patriarchal oppression that we confront in our study and practice of feminism. Since trans issues are feminist issues, we must work to educate ourselves to be effective allies. To that end, we discuss our society's evolving understanding of gender, our problematic tendency to assign value to passing, the Title VII cases currently before the Supreme Court, and other trans-feminist issues.
