Masha Gessen on the Battle Over Trans Rights • The New Yorker Radio Hour - via Podcast Addict

Many culture-war politicians are attacking the rights of trans people, and making a regressive view of gender as biology the key to their platforms. In this episode, David Remnick talks to two people who’ve found themselves at the center of the battle over transgender rights. In Nebraska, a state senator has committed to filibustering every piece of legislation to ward off a vote on a Republican-sponsored bill that would ban gender-affirming care for trans people under age nineteen. Then Masha Gessen—who fled Russia years ago as an L.G.B.T. person targeted by government repression—explains why anti-trans messaging has been effective for the right, and why discussions of trans issues can be fraught even for those who support them.

Huge step in Spain for gender self determination and protecting LGBT+ rights. A pity that the proposals that allowed for recognition for non binary people and intersex people didn't get approved. Let's keep moving forward.
