Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What the Midterm Results Mean for Trans Americans
Q: What do you think it means for Democrats to capture these both chambers, given the limitations that are built into the Constitution in terms of what they can do?
V Spehar says state legislative gains may produce the most immediate effects on people's lives, while federal lawmakers may focus on investigations and accountability. She also identifies possible federal action on military service and other issues.
What the Midterm Results Mean for Trans Americans
Q: What's most surprising to you?
V Spehar says she was surprised by strong Democratic results in Texas and by trans candidates winning in places where their success seemed unlikely. She credits local creators and volunteers who educated voters and helped them cast ballots.
How the WNBA Became a Target for Anti-Trans Activists
Q: How do you think this should be handled?
De la Cretaz supports inclusion and recommends that the WNBA retain its existing policy without defining womanhood, arguing that sex testing would invite harmful scrutiny, particularly of Black and brown women.
How the WNBA Became a Target for Anti-Trans Activists
Q: Why do you think they're using transness to undermine the WNBA?
Hill says the league is an easy target because it is predominantly Black and includes many queer players, while political actors use trans people as scapegoats and seek attention through the league.
What Trump’s Changes to Title IX Really Mean
Q: What would you be advising a school board to do if a school board in an ex-city calls you up and says, Ria, what should we be doing in the face of this new rule?
Tabacco Mar says schools should maintain inclusive policies for trans students because the rule does not prohibit them. She encourages parents and community members to be visible safe adults and to participate in school and board meetings in support of LGBTQ+ students.
