Friends! I am delighted to finally share our November 2019 live show with all of you, featuring the ineffable Alyssa Pariah.

This week on the show, we share our conversation with Alyssa, which explores how the labor movement, Black Lives Matter, Medicare for All, and prison abolition can all play a role in trans liberation. Other topics include:

How to be a better ally/accomplice to sex workers
Coping with survivor's guilt as a trans woman of color
Re-envisioning Trans Day of Remembrance to include more than reading a list of names.
Why Alyssa hates the LGBTQ chamber of commerce
Amassing an army of trans bitches 😈😈😈

The episode is available in Apple Podcasts and Spotify and all the other apps. This one is really extra special to me, and I'd really appreciate you sharing it with a friend!

In other podcast news, I've been working hard to bank interviews for the rest of this season! So far, I've recorded seven interviews, including the two you've already heard. I'm psyched about this season, and can't wait for you to meet everyone.

And speaking of podcasts, I recently guested on the inaugural episode of You Don't Look Like a Girlfriend, a podcast created by my friend Niko Stratis about trans folks and our relationships with our voices. Listen now in Spotify if you're interested, and reach out to Niko if you have thoughts or questions or ideas for the show.

Exciting bonus: Niko also designed a shirt that will debut along with her episode! It's not available yet but I am psyched and wanted to show you now so that you can also be psyched!

Next week on the show: I'll be speaking with Paige Kreisman, an incredible woman running for the Oregon House of Representatives as a democratic socialist. If she wins, she'll be the first trans person to hold state office in Oregon. Please support her campaign if you can!
