Radio Interview with OutFM about Trump’s Attacks on Trans People
I recently got to talk to my old friend Bob Lederer about the current attacks on trans people coming from new Trump administration. You can listen to the interview here.
In our first segment, Out-FM’s Bob Lederer interviews prominent trans liberation fighter Dean Spade about the larger nefarious logic behind Trump’s anti-trans attacks, and the important principles to follow when mounting resistance to them. This includes the anticipatory obedience of several hospitals which have discontinued gender-affirming care for young people — even before any binding federal rules have forbidden that. Fortunately, as he notes, mass protests for these actions have already occurred at the New York and DC hospitals in question. In Part 2, we discussed some of the themes of his new book, Love in a F*cked-Up World: How to Build Relationships, Hook Up, and Raise Hell, Together. In particular, we talked about the ways of building lasting social-change organizations based on a commitment to respectfully and lovingly working through differences, while we all stay focused on our common goals. Then we invited listener calls.
Interview with Laura Flanders & Friends
Had a great conversation with Laura about this f*cked up time we’re living in and how we can have each other’s backs, care for each other, and raise hell together.
Interview with Against Everyone with Conner Habib
This is the third in a series of episodes on HOW TO LIVE IN 2025, focusing on the thoughts, feelings, and actions we need to thrive, develop, create, and resist. At the end of each of these episodes, I’ll offer an exercise – a thought exercise, spiritual exercise, or practical exercise – that brings an experiential dimension to what I and the shows guests talk about.

Interview with The Creative Process Podcast
“This book has a lot of the wisdom of things that feminists and queers have learned in the community about sexuality, but the book is really for anybody who is political, even those just starting out and beginning to realize that there is something wrong with the systems they live under. I want to be in movements. Our movements are made of relationships. So, if you’re just getting into our movements, or if you’ve been here for years and have been watching the ways we hurt each other and fall apart relationally, this book is about identifying these common patterns.”
New Podcast Interview: Mutual Aid Podcast
I was thrilled to be the first guest on the new Mutual Aid Podcast. Very fun conversation with people who are deeply engaged with mutual aid work and coming from non-US locations. You can listen here:
Conversation with Susan Stryker Hosted by Them
Grateful to Wren Sanders and Them for inviting Susan Stryker and I to this conversation about how to navigate this terrifying moment of the second Trump presidency, including advice for campus activists, reflections on trans history, and more.
