Anti-Trans Playbook is Designed to Hurt Women, with Paisley Currah

Why is it that the anti-trans movement is so ferociously set on upending the livelihood of people who are simply trying to live their lives? As it turns out, it’s because it’s part of a larger playbook to dismantle civil rights as we know them. Paisley Currah is a Professor of Political Science and Women’s and Gender Studies at Brooklyn College and the CUNY Graduate Center, the author of Sex Is as Sex Does: Governing Transgender Identity, and the writer of an essential new essay in the New York Review Books titled The Anti-Trans Playbook . Today Paisley joins Adam to discuss how we must approach the ongoing attacks on trans rights in America. -- SUPPORT THE SHOW ON PATREON: SEE ADAM ON TOUR:
