In this Womens History Month episode, Jenn and Daren discuss the high-profile threats to transgender people and why this is even more reason to spotlight them during month. Recent comments from Republicans at the CPAC conference and from famed writer Alice Walker prove how important it is for us to always center and elevate the experiences of all Black trans people. Jenn shares the work of Marsha P. Johnson and how modern Pride celebrations are rooted in her work. To close things out, Jenn and Daren highlight the achievements of trans activists like Janet Mock, Raquel Willis, CeCe McDonald and L'leret Jazell Ailith.

We do “adult” differently. We are That Black Couple. Our goal is to create a space for Black millennials to discuss and embody adult life on their own terms. We aren't beholden to “traditional” gender or parenting roles, queerness is fluid and present in the ways we show up in our relationships and in the world, and we want to build community with other 30-something Black folx who are trying to figure this ish out.

The Injustice of CeCe McDonald: Buckle up for the insane true story of CeCe McDonald, a woman who was let down by a justice system that is all too rarely there for vulnerable minority groups. CeCe's tale is one of intolerance and inequity, but it's also a story of bravery, devotion, and revolution. You need to hear this one, strangelings! Later on, Emma's bringing a first to the show; we're talking about a cult! Not just any old cult, Synanon might just be the most sinister cult that you've never heard of.

CeCe McDonald and her friends were approached by Dean Schmitz, his girlfriend, and his ex outside of a bar in June of 2011. Dean shouted racist and transphobic slurs at the group in a threatening manner. CeCe and her friends tried to walk away, but the ex, Molly Flaherty wanted to start a fight. Molly smashed a glass into CeCe's face, an injury that would later require 11 stitches. Dean lunged at CeCe, she stabbed him with scissors in order to protect herself. She was arrested and charged with second degree murder. Her case has gained national attention, but she ended up taking a plea deal of 41 months in prison. Since her release, CeCe has become an activist for the black, trans, and LGBTQ+ community. https://beenhere.org/2021/02/26/cece-mcdonald/ https://youth.gov/youth-topics/lgbtq-youth/homelessness https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/05/cece-mcdonald-transgender-hate-crime-murder/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeCe_McDonald

This week is a very horrible and difficult topic, but one we thought needed to be covered, and hopefully we did it justice. This week we are talking about Transgender people who have been murdered. This topic highlights the abuse and issues trans people face every single day, as well as the ultimate price many pay simply for living as their true selves. We try our best to be allies, and we hope shedding some light on these absolutely terrible cases will help put an end to violence against trans people, because it's simply not okay. Sorry for no fun quips this week, twisted listeners, but this topic is just too dark. We still hope you tune in, and please remember: TRANS LIVES MATTER.Brought to you by Podmoth Media Network podmoth.networkJoin us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/twistedlistersFollow us on Instagram: @twistedlisterspcastTiktok: @twistedlistersWant to start a podcast?

Dr. Mia Fischer joins me to talk about systems of power, and the way that they refuse to change, even when they appear to do so. Our military has recently incorporated, then unincorporated, then reincorporated openly-trans folks. Our prisons often house incarcerated people in the wrong facilities based on their assigned birth gender. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Any good hegemonic system will begin with this foundation. Unless we work towards systemic change, the small battles we win will accomplish little within the bigger systems of control. When marijuana is legalized, drug enforcement units target shrooms. When shrooms are decriminalized, drug enforcement units target other illegal drugs. And when all drugs are decriminalized, officers target sex workers, or other petty "crimes" which we would do better to legalize and regulate. 

Pour son 20ème numéro, Parloir donne de la voix et du son aux prisonnier·es transgenres américain·es à travers une lettre écrite par Cece McDonald le 12 mai 2013 depuis l’unité d’enfermement pour hommes dans laquelle elle se trouve.

To celebrate Pride, we bring you two cases of trans individuals.

In Terrorizing Gender: Transgender Visibility and the Surveillance Practices of the U.S. Security State, Mia Fischer traces how media and state actors collude in the violent disciplining of trans women, exposing the traps of visibility by illustrating that dominant representations of trans people as deceptive, deviant, and threatening are integral to justifying, normalizing, and reinforcing the state-sanctioned violence enacted against them. Bringing together transgender, queer, critical race, legal, surveillance, and media studies, Fisher analyzes the cases of Chelsea Manning, CeCe McDonald, and Monica Jones and shows how the heightened visibility of transgender people has actually occasioned a conservative backlash characterized by the increased surveillance of trans people by the security state. Terrorizing Gender concludes that the current moment of trans visibility constitutes a contingent cultural and national belonging, given the gendered and racialized violence that the state continues to enact against trans communities, particularly those of color.   Dr. Mia Fischer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Colorado Denver. Her research and teaching focuses on LGBTQ media representations and the ongoing struggles of LGBTQ communities to access civil rights. Her work has been published in several academic journals, including Feminist Media Studies, Communication, Culture & Critique, Sexualities, and Communication & Sport. She also co-leads the Denver Pen Pal Collaborative (DPPC), a collaborative prison-pen-pal project.

Around 9:30 this past Friday night, Asheville's Pack Square sounded eerily familiar. There were no protestors or counter-protesters surrounding the Vance Monument, no police on bikes or in riot gear. A busker serenaded people--almost all of them white--waiting in a tightly packed line outside French Broad Chocolate. If it weren't for the relatively few wearing masks, you'd swear this was so 2019. But if you rounded the corner onto Broadway and looked up at the facade of the Asheville Art Museum, you saw beautifully rendered drawings of Breonna Taylor , Tony McDade , Nina Pop and, yes, George Floyd, dissolving into text quotes from the novelist James Baldwin and the activist Cece McDonald , along with the call to "Defend Black Lives."

Evening prayer for Monday, January 13th, 2020. The 2nd Monday of Epiphany. The memorial for Hilary, bishop of Poitiers, Teacher of the Faith, 367 C.E. and the day we remember that in 1970 – W.L. Nolen, C. Edwards and A. Miller murdered by Soledad prison guards in California, 2012 – G20 protestor Mandy Hiscocks sentenced to 16 months, and 2014 – CeCe McDonald released Liturgical White. Today's readings in the revised common lectionary are Psalms 04 + 07, Isaiah 40:12-23, John 1:1-18.Music thanks to Small Church Music, Andrew Remillard, and Mystery Mammal.

CW: Hate Speech/Language On this episode...I revisit the final episode of "The Hate Project" which aired on September 9th, 2013.  I reflect on "The Hate Project" overall, troll the trolls in the chat, and field phone calls from right-wing radio host "Newsguy" and "Kennewick Man" who I interviewed on Episode 28 and appeared on Episodes 5, 6, and 10. Later "TheChad80", who I interviewed on Episode 33 and appeared on Episode 29, joins the conversation.  We talk about literal hate-fucking, specifically the hypocrisy of male white nationalists coupling with non-white women. "Kennewick Man" discusses how some neo-nazi groups are possible fronts for satanists and we talk about how the government seeks to divide and conquer the populace. Also some discussion of events at that time including trans woman CeCe McDonald warding off a hate crime, Craig Cobb trying to create a white ethnostate in North Dakota, and the Klan meeting with the NAACP.   At the beginning of the show I discuss how ICE is currently creating training facilities for "urban warfare" against civilians.  Email: paradoxofcivility@gmail.comTwitter: @civilpodcastFacebook:  https://www.facebook.com/paradoxofcivility/ References from episode: ICE Prepares "Urban Warfare" Training Facilityhttps://www.newsweek.com/ice-fails-redact-document-reveals-location-urban-warfare-training-facility-1458732 CeCe McDonaldhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CeCe_McDonald Craig Cobbhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig_Cobb Klansman meets the NAACPhttps://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2013/09/16/219665721/did-the-naacp-learn-anything-from-meeting-with-the-kkk Music:  Gnossienne no. 1 by International Surrealist Bulletin is licensed under a CC0 1.0 Universal License.Remedy for Melancholy by Kai Engel is licensed under a Attribution License. 

On June 5th, 2011, a young Black, trans woman named CeCe McDonald went out to a bar with friends. A white male fascist in the bar took exception to CeCe for being the wrong kind of woman.

In this, the second episode of Survivor Team Go!, we shout out to Ryan (different Ryan!) and Rihanna. Then Bailey shares the story of Josefina Rivera, who survived being abducted and tortured with several other women in a psychopath’s basement, and Oliver talks about CeCe McDonald, a black trans woman who was prosecuted for surviving a hate crime.

Turn Me Loose: The Unghosting of Medgar Evars has garnered Kentucky's Poet Laureate, Frank X Walker, a nomination for an NAACP Image Award. He calls this book of 49 poems his finest work to date, and says it has an educational component along with its poetry. "The initial motivation was based on having a conversation with my students and finding out that they had no idea who Medgar Evers was." We spoke to Walker on this week's show about his life, his work, and what it means to be Affrilachian. Our Juicy Fruit segment this week looks at the man who got in trouble for paying too much child support, the chef who wants to ban babies from his restaurant, and CeCe McDonald's release from prison. And our very own Jaison Gardner filled us in on his new column, In Visible Ink, appearing every other week in LEO Weekly!

We finally did it!  We finally recorded another episode!!!  What's more, we're finally finished editing it. We mention Halloween for our Trans* history segment.  Halloween on Wikipedia. We cover ENDA and briefly mention the implications for all of us.  During that discussion we mention the malicious attacks on a young trans girl by the conservative right wingers at the Pacific Justice Institute. Finally we discuss Cece McDonald as our Tran* person of note.  She was violently attacked and unfairly prosecuted...yes as the victim she was the one prosecuted. We also mentioned former Representitive John Kriesel, you can watch his 5 minute speech to the Minnesota House here although it was regarding gay marriage, it is my opinion he would have the same thoughts on ENDA. As always music is courtesy of Obsidian Shell -Maddy  

Tonight on DiLT we will reflect on the 20th Anniversary of the infamous Rodney King beating by LAPD officers, and the LA Riots.  We will talk about what happened, the lessons we learned, and whether or not it was worth our time and emotions.  We will also discuss the case of CeCe McDonald - the black transgendered woman who's on trial for manslaughter after killing a man who attacked her; and Marissa Alexander - the FL woman who faces 20 years in jail for firing a "warning shot" to protect herself from her attacker.   Is there a reason why the Black community hasn't rallied around these cases?  Is our decision to ignore social injustice based on our our personal bias???  Damnit Let's Talk tonight!
