Stay Outta Florida | EPISODE 119

podcast May 23, 2023

The episode begins with Seales discussing the NAACP’s recent travel advisory to avoid Florida. The advisory was issued in response to a number of recent laws passed in the state that have been seen as discriminatory, including a law that bans transgender girls from playing on girls’ sports teams. Seales argues that the advisory is a necessary step to protect people from the harmful effects of these laws.

Next, Seales discusses Instagram’s plans to launch a Twitter-like app this summer. The app, which is code-named “Project Owl,” is said to be designed to compete with Twitter by offering a more user-friendly experience. Seales is skeptical of the app’s success, arguing that Instagram is already a crowded market and that Twitter is unlikely to be displaced.

Later in the episode, Seales discusses a story about a teacher who was banned from school after allowing a student to wear a KKK costume. The teacher, who is black, said that she allowed the student to wear the costume as a way to teach about racism. However, the school district disagreed, saying that the costume was offensive and that it created a hostile learning environment. Seales argues that the teacher was right to allow the student to wear the costume, and that the school district’s decision was a form of censorship.

The episode ends with Seales discussing a story about women who refused to stand on the winner’s podium after a transgender cyclist finished in first place in the women’s category. The women, who are all cisgender, said that they felt that it was unfair for a transgender woman to compete in the women’s category. Seales argues that the women are wrong, and that transgender women are women. She also argues that the women’s refusal to stand on the podium is a form of discrimination.

Overall, the episode is a thought-provoking look at a number of current events. Seales is a strong and opinionated host, and she does not shy away from controversial topics. The episode is sure to spark discussion and debate.
