Unpacking the Republican Victory

In the wake of Trump’s stunning victory, Imara grapples with the stakes of this outcome for trans people across the United States. She’s joined by award-winning journalist Katelyn Burns to unpack the Democratic Party failing to counter the GOP’s anti-trans messaging, the election of trans candidates like Sarah McBride, and why trans rights might be first on the chopping block after Trump’s inauguration. Together, they imagine how we can reorient the fight for gender affirming care access in a hostile and uncertain new era of U.S. politics.Send your trans joy recommendations to [email protected]. Follow TransLash Media @translashmedia on TikTok, Instagram, Threads,  X, and Facebook.Follow Imara Jones on X (@ImaraJones) and Instagram (@Imara_jones_)Follow our guests on social media!Angelito Collective: Instagram (@angelito.collective)Katelyn Burns: X (@transscribe)TransLash Podcast is produced by Translash Media.Translash Team: Imara Jones, Oliver-Ash Kleine, Aubrey Calaway. Xander Adams is our senior sound engineer and a contributing producer.This episode was engineered by Lucy Little.
