How Junk Science Affects Transmasculine Kids
Recorded Live on 4zzz every Tuesday morning. Tranzmission brings you the latest in trans community news, events and discussion. Tranzmission's mission is to amplify the trans and gender non-conforming voices of Meanjin/Brisbane and is brought to you by a diverse team of transqueers.
Hosts: Bette (she/they ), Hazel (she/her), and Ez (he/him)
What are the factors causing increased numbers of out transmasc kids in recent years and why are anti-trans activists so eager to target them? Bette (she/they), Ez (he/him) and Hazel (she/her) theorise about this and other pressing questions, like why do so many cis men smell bad? Special nod to Lisa Littman, inventor of the junk-science theory "rapid-onset gender dysphoria" and the inspiration for so many bans on gender-affirming care for kids.
