Why Are So Many Gay and Lesbian Allies Still Transphobic?

Trandescendant Podcast Season 4 Episode 18

Have you ever met someone who fully supports their gay friends but gets uncomfortable when trans issues come up? The same people who celebrate Pride and fight for marriage equality often have a completely different reaction to transgender rights. Joe and Rya break down the psychology behind this contradiction and explore why trans people trigger fears that gay and lesbian people don't. Understanding why transphobia feels different is the first step toward building true solidarity across the entire LGBTQ community.
