11 - Transphobia in Sports - A Life Shaped by Violence ft Alana and Lee

What up, haters, lock in and listen up. Things get heavy in this one so we’re sending out a CW: child sexual assault, violence, discussion of transphobia. But also there’s fun too, we promise.  Joining us to talk Transphobia in Sports is the 2nd openly trans MMA fighter Alana (@AlanaFeral) and Lee (@vissersixxx). Alana takes us through what it’s like to be an openly trans woman in combat sports (hint: it’s a bunch of fascist reactionary chuds). Lee embarrasses Alana. We talk about the realities of what transition does to the body and how that affects athleticism and performance. With studies! Nate force-femmes and punishes Tyler with a tasty treat. It’s a good one. Where can you ethically use your skill when your skill is violence? Support the show at patreon.com/hatereon.

We will love them no matter how much they tell YouTube to destroy us (jk it all got worked out).
