In The Trans•Parency Podcast Show podcast, the host team, Shelbe Chang, Shane Ivan Nash, Jessie McGrath, and Bloosm C. Brown take you on a journey exploring the transformation stories, community dynamics, advocacy, entertainment, trans-owned businesses, and current events surrounding the lives of trans individuals.
Join us in enlightening conversations as we sit down with guests from the trans, LGBTQ+ community, and allies. Through powerful storytelling, they delve into their journeys, highlighting the trans people's transition from who they once were to their authentic selves. Also, this podcast uncovers individuals' experiences as allies who positively impact the trans community.
Our purpose-driven mission is to empower the trans community and uplift our voices, ensuring that we can be heard and beyond far and wide.
Political figures and media personalities are weaponizing marginalized identities as distractions from their lack of substantive policies on economic issues, healthcare, and housing.
The targeting of transgender people has become a lucrative industry for commentators who profit from creating culture war debates while avoiding accountability for real harm.

there is, like someone like me could basically be erased by not even having access to that. And it's this crazy political spirit. Because, you know, you've got people that are like debating my life for sport and making money and grifting off it, like amala, like the blair whites, like the buck, like ben shapiro, like matt walsh, like all these people that are causing all this intersectional harm that really experience no consequences.
Speaker 4:
They just make money on, I hope and they just don't have the intellectual capacity to even have a conversation about it like, or the economy like that's.
Speaker 1:
The other thing, too is like what did they spend? How much money? What was it like? Almost two billion dollars in advertisement through the trump thing against just trans people, when you could have like. So when does the economy matter? When? And it's like this constant dehumanization that we feel and and and. It's like we're being used for this, that and the other, to constantly fight each other, and it all comes back down to that corporate creed because, like trans people are such a like minority.
Speaker 3:
One percent that have been created into such a massive issue just because they know that it is upsetting and it's a hot button and xenophobic issue and it's like taking your identity and the life that you have to live on a daily basis and using it as a form of entertainment and as a way to get like extremist rhetoric pushed more.
Speaker 2:
Yeah, that's because, literally, they have no policy for homelessness, they have no policy for the economy, they have no policy to make groceries cheaper, they have no policy to help anyone out hey, that's not true.
Speaker 1:
They have concepts of a plan and they just learned about what tariffs are it's like they're not president right now.
Speaker 2:
They, they want they have nothing to help people out. So what they do is they take a small piece of a community to say let's put this community face forward for the next couple years until we can get out and just do all this stuff behind the scenes. And by the time they figure out that we're done, it's already too late.
Speaker 3:
It's true, they're arguing over 1% of the population, while so many people in the population are suffering due to like-. Economic impact Issues that should be so bipartisan because they know that if they had to fight on those issues they would lose exactly so they go for extreme stuff. It's used as a detraction. Your identity has become a red herring and that's such bullshit.
Speaker 2:
That's just bullshit yeah, and then the um, I was actually breaking down something for someone arguing with someone in some comments and and I was like okay.
Speaker 3:
I've tried so hard not to I had to because it was just so stupid.
Speaker 2:
I was like, okay, let's break this down. So if you deport 30% of your workforce, that means your farmhands, your builders, plus you add on tariffs to products that you take home, like electronics, food, anything imported, like anything, metals, precious metals that go into your materials, because it would take years for us to produce that stuff here. So by the time the Trump administration ends, you wouldn't even have that stuff still. If we take all that and then couple that with the fact that now women are dying in Texas because they have such strict abortion acts, and then OBGYNs are leaving Texas yeah.
Speaker 2:
And then the fact that you guys don't want to fund the schools anymore. You take all that, so you want to cripple the education system, make people's children Stupid Exactly, it's their voting base that they're trying to create, because if you, what is the statistics?
Speaker 1:
If you took out the non-college educated whites, the election would have looked completely different.
Speaker 2:
Exactly so they're making, they're trying to make people dumb they don't want to teach them about critical race theory.
Speaker 3:
They don't want to teach them about Because critical race theory would make people more smart. They don't want to tell them the truth.
Speaker 1:
So would make people more smart. They don't want to tell them the truth, so imagine Well, because grandma was actually throwing the rocks back in the day. They don't want to get caught with the photo Like that's not real, Like the generation. It's only been like 60 years since all of this has happened, so there are people that are alive today.
Speaker 3:
I mean the KKK. Burned a cross on my grandmother's lawn when she was 11 years old and she's like very alive 11 years old, and she's like very alive Arthritic, but alive.
Speaker 4:
I was born in a town that was only 15 minutes away from the area where they found Emmett Till's body in Mississippi. So, like you know, we're only one or two generations removed from all of that.
Speaker 3:
But that's why they put the photos in black and white. That's why they don't want to teach it in school. It happened a very long time ago. None of that stuff is still here.
Speaker 2:
But I tell people, imagine if Germany hadn't learned from their past. You cannot get to your future without tackling your past. Yes, in the past America was very racist. Right now you have people who are very racist because they haven't learned anything from it. You're not teaching them to learn from it. You're trying to cover it up and say it never happened. But I'm sorry, the survivors are here, they know better. And then, on the top of the on what I was arguing in the comments too, I was like you take all that 30% of your workforce plus tariffs, you're not going to be able to afford a lot of things. Your housing is going to be in the gutter and then all the stuff you thought you voted for. Like you said, trump's going to end the war. What war is this man going to end? I'm sorry.
Speaker 5:
That's generational of palestinian israel for a long generations which has already been accelerated yeah, yeah it sounds like erasured while I'm hearing, you know, hearing it sounds like a pure erasure because, like, if you take something out or someone out of something, you don't have to include them in, right. So because I'm thinking as a gay person, black, cisgendered male I'm you know, I'm listening to all I'm like okay, because I have a different. I have the same dog in a fight because, you know, but I have a different fight, because I'm like I look at things a little bit differently. But I'm like it sounds like erasure. I'm like that's what it is.
Speaker 5:
If you say, oh, you're not a person, that you're not this, then you, it's, it's carte blanche to say that. Then there are others, they're over here, they're not part of us. I mean, I think the biggest thing for trump supporters specifically, they will reap what they sow. We all know that. I think the problem is they think that they are rich and white and untouchable well, because they want to be correct, so they vote with that yes you have an opportunity to join us as the rich white untouchables.
Speaker 3:
All you have to do is be our pawns.
Speaker 4:
But they don't give a fuck about you.
Speaker 3:
It's's so scary because there are Latinos that voted for Trump you know, without realizing, that their own families are going to be deported, potentially.
Speaker 1:
Because they told them that it was criminals only, and now they're finding out what natural born citizen like. They're understanding it as it's happening in real time. The same thing with tariffs they had no clue what tariffs were, but you know what, honestly, I feel like, okay, the tariff thing is one thing.
Speaker 3:
I understand, like not understanding international trade laws, but I don't think that Trump has been very secretive about how he feels about immigrants and all you really have to do is like open Twitter or open Instagram to get a basic idea of his rhetoric on immigrants and if you still couldn't figure that out like that's sad.
Speaker 2:
No more x.
Speaker 4:
No more x I think it was just about blue sky.
Speaker 4:
Right I was thinking I felt like a lot of it, I refuse to call it I think it had a lot to do with the economy, because you know people coming over to this country and trying to make a better life for themselves and for me, latinos. For Trump sounds like an oxymoron For me, but then I also. You know that's one group of people. I'm pissed at white women. I'm also pissed at trans people who talk so much stuff about Palestine, as they should have, but then talked about withdrawing or withholding their vote for Kamala and criticizing her for things that I don't think she 100 could control, because the reality of it is we're on a two-party system and all we have is kamala harris and donald trump.
Speaker 4:
Now I have said on this podcast before in one of our previous episodes you can have your criticism of kamala, I don't care, but go show up and vote, please go vote, because at least with kamala and the whole situation around palestine, that could be worked on. But if you were somebody that criticized her and then you did not go to the polls and vote and then you told your fan base to not go vote, I want to sincerely give you a big f. You do? You think don Donald Trump is going to help the Palestinian people? Laughable, that is a joke.
