You know, I think part of the difficulty of it, right, and this specifically the way that trans issues function around class and journalism are a microcosm. It's like the most intense version of the stuff that's happening to the entire journalism industry, right? Where like, you know, part of what we're seeing is like, it's just, it's been the destruction of local news, right?

And the product of this is that the only people who can be journalists are like a bunch of fucking rich dipshits. And, you know, like, yeah, you've all fucking read like New York Times columnist is like platforming a genocide denier today. Right. Like that. And that's that's sort of the product of this.

And it means that like unless like literally like people like you, the fucking listener, and I guess this doesn't apply to you if you're, you know, like statistically a good number of you are like you are also transgender and you make like fucking nine dollars an hour, like running a forklift or something. Like, this is not, this is not on you.

Like, I know a bunch of you are going to be like, holy shit, I should give money to these people. It's like, okay. But like, this stuff is only possible if people are actually fucking willing to support it. Like, until we can, like, fundamentally change the way that the entire political and economic system works in this country and in this world.

And until then, it's like, yeah, like it's, this is a fucking problem for like us here too. Cause you know, like, again, like I got fucking lucky. Like I am extremely dissimilar. Like I am the trans woman, like one of the trans women who you will hear from the most. And I have like a stable job. I haven't been homeless and I haven't done sex work.

And this makes me completely unlike a huge portion of trans people, especially trans femmes. Right. And yeah, it's like, yeah, it fucking colors the way I do this shit. In ways that like I don't see because like I haven't had to like do this shit. And this is a real fucking problem.

The only way that it can not be like this is if people are actually willing to support the people who understand these things because they fucking gone through it. And so your options are like, all of our stuff gets reported on by Jesse Singal and we all fucking die, or we fight trans journalism and we fight them and we all live in a fucking better world.

Yeah. And, you know, and again, it's like it's it's not impossible. It just requires a bunch of fucking work from the trans people who are doing it. And then also it requires, you know, putting on my fucking NPR pledge drive voice. It requires viewers like you to, you know, it requires people to care enough about it to support it and make it exist. Yeah.
