for TS Madison & The Myth of Protecting Women

This week, Lee is holding space for the icon, the mogul, the moment — Miss T.S. Madison. Because if you're not saying her name with your chest during Pride Month (or any month, tbh), then what are you even doing? 💁🏾‍♀️We get into why Maddie matters, and use her as the launchpad for a bigger conversation about how trans people — especially Black trans women — are constantly being politicised, othered, and debated instead of protected, celebrated, or even just left alone.Lee and Z dive into the way toxic masculinity and hypermasculine fear fuel so much of the current transphobia, why the “women’s safety” narrative is often a smokescreen, and how the media stays loud and wrong. 🗞️💨Don’t worry, it’s not all heavy — we wrap with a little kiki about dating, social masks, and why performing someone you’re not just isn’t sustainable (or cute).🕰️ Chapters00:00– Holdin’ Space for T.S.
