Ketamine Part 5: The Trans Ketamine Love Affair

Finally one for the dolls! JK all our episodes are for the dolls. Do trans people like Ketamine more than cis people? I don't know, but it sure seems like it sometimes when you hang out with a lot of trans people who like Ketamine! We read from Hannah Baer's excellent book Trans Girl Suicide Museum, and discuss some the factors that contribute to higher rates of drug use among the queer community. TW: for discussion of suicide, some graphic sexual content and brief mention of eating disorders.If you want this show to continue AND get access to more content like extended trip reports and Bonus Episodes, subscribe to our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/c/TripReportReportFollow our Instagram @tripreportreportFor our ever growing list of harm reduction resources visit tripreportreport.comTranscript LinkCOMING SOONSources Referenced in this EpisodeHannah Baer, "Trans Girl Suicide Museum" [2019] https://hessepress.storenvy.com/products/28804096-hannah-baer-trans-girl-suicide-museumJack K.
