Ep #44 – What’s the T in the LGBT? (Trans 101)

Hey!!!! Welcome, Welcome, Welcome To BLACK TO THE FUTURE PODCAST! We are so pleased you could join us here today! On this podcast we will discussing various topics through a Black, Queer, Feminist Lens. Our goal is elevate, educate, and empower those of us in the Black Queer community, and also to help our supporters and allies to become more knowledgeable about what we need as far as support!

Xay Dé is on her own again for this episode! She talks directly to our audience about being a Transgender Person. As of late, this has been a hot topic and she covers MANY of the questions and concerns raised by cisgender/heterosexual folks. She breaks it down to basic terminology, drawing parallels, and offer ideas on how to better understand the trans community at large. As more and more folks get comfortable with their gender identity and expression, it is paramount that compassion and understanding are leading the conversation.
