What It’s Like To Be A Trans Woman In A Men’s Prison Ft. Moka Dawkins
The data is clear: LGBTQ2S+ people are overrepresented at every stage of the criminal justice system and this is especially true for trans people, who are subject to particularly inhumane conditions and treatment while incarcerated. Today we’re taking a deep dive into the experience of being trans behind bars. We’re using the Canadian correctional system & our guest Moka Dawkin's story as a case study, but this reality is all too common and often worse across the globe. In Todays episode you’ll hear Moka’s story of wrongful conviction, her trans incarceration experience, and we’ll be discussing the systemic criminal justice issues that are plaguing our community.

Favorite Podcast!
I just recently found your podcast and it’s amazing! Thank you for being so entertaining and informative. I work 12 hour shifts, and am usually by myself since it’s overnight I love binging your podcasts while at work!!
There is no such thing as “Complicit homosexuality”
Simply a fact of life
I feel very at home
I am very grateful that there’s community built in here discussing topics central to queer culture. I love the vibes and I feel very comfortable listening to y’all talk. Keep up the good work :)
