#262 Who Do You Love?

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! On this episode… So you love Black trans women but what are you doing about it? We talk about dating men in a trans antagonistic world and what part cisgender women play in the equation. Then we get into police unions, hair shit, and define snitching because what does that even mean anymore This week’s hotlist - We’re (safely) in the streets of a covid summer, but where? Are you watching Lovecraft Country? Some quick spoiler free notes on “I May Destroy You”, dismantling transphobia in our cis relationships, unions for the people are good, unions for cops not so good, 4C hair afros and deception, snitching (a reimagining), Megan Thee Stallion and who was protecting who, and mad other ish!
