Outward: Despair Is a Rational Response to Anti-Trans Activism

In the last of our Pride month mini-episodes, host Jules
Gill-Peterson is joined by Evan Urquhart, the community manager for
Slate's comments section who also covers anti-trans propaganda on
assignedmedia.org. They discuss Evan’s piece “Don’t Look Away From
Queer Despair,” which was part of Slate’s “Not Quite Pride”
package. In a galvanizing conversation, they discuss the need to
resist putting on a happy face in these genuinely challenging
times; the compulsion to create work that will leave breadcrumbs of
hope for the next generation of queer and trans people, and
supporting one another. Items discussed in the show: “Don’t Look
Away From Queer Despair,” by Evan Urquhart Slate’s “Not Quite
Pride” package of stories Assigned Media This podcast was edited by
