144. Laverne Cox: MAGA, intersectionality and living out our politics (including COMPASSION)

I love the conversation Laverne’s admission has given rise too. A lot of it is shallow and obvious in its call to action (cancel Laverne) so I’d like to provide a deeper perspective rooted in compassion and consideration. I discuss: Dating Across Political LinesThe Intersection of Politics and DatingHow people relate to their oppressorsThe Challenges Faced by Black Trans WomenHow black folks relate to white folksDating preferences within a white supremacist worldREFERENCESLaverne Cox videoshttps://www.instagram.com/p/DMUEEl4OgkB/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DMYhkucysh0/ https://www.instagram.com/p/DMZLJYguxOY/ Reaction videoshttps://youtu.be/CL7h50X0D1s?si=YDwWcuFHRB3rcc_F Join Patreon starting at $1.
