In this episode of the Parent Advocate, Lizette and Stephen are joined by trans scholar, writer, producer and historian, Susan Stryker. They talk about discovering who they were in a Dear Abby column, growing up trans in the ‘90s, their path to recording and forging a path to capture and preserve trans histories. In Today’s Topics, we cover the Trump administration pulling funds from LGBTQ suicide prevention programs, Pittsburgh police raiding a popular trans nightclub, the Vatican’s questionable selection of Cardinal Robert Prevost as the next pope, and SCOTUS declining to hear the challenge to Trumps ban on trans military members. In Allies & Assholes we celebrate California Representative Robert Garcia for shaming transphobic Representative Nancy Mace, and drag Georgia Governor Brian Kemp for signing a law banning trans girls in sports in his state.
