Podcasts about trans rights

Welcome back to another episode of Everyone Needs an Aquarius! On today's show, Dom and D Dom sit down for an unfiltered, high-energy session covering everything from hilarious personal chaos to critical social justice issues. First, Dom breaks down a wild story about a poolside propane grill disaster that resulted in singed arms and sacrificed wigs. But once the smoke clears, the conversation turns to the sports world, breaking down Enes Kanter's controversial presence at a Chicago Sky game, trans rights in sports, and the ongoing fight against misogyny in women's athletics. They take a deep dive into the heartbreaking legal outcome of the Keisha Golden case, examining how systemic racial bias continuously penalizes victims of domestic violence when they act in self-defense. Finally, stick around as they break down relationship red flags on Married at First Sight, viral social media clout-chasing scandals, and recent celebrity breakups. 0:00 - Poolside Propane Grill Mishap & Hair Disasters 3:32 -  Enes Kanter WNBA Controversy 6:49 - Trans Rights in Sports, Misogyny & Fan Antics 12:03 - Royce White's Troubled Journey & Player Safety Standards 26:26 - Spider-Man Impersonator Steps In Minneapolis 30:17 - Remembering the Legacies of Dolly Parton & Tim Curry 37:48 - Married at First Sight Deep Dive: Red Flags & Dynamics 1:01:59 - Faking Success for Clout: The Duke PA Program Scandal 1:09:49 - Gary, Indiana Power Outages & Stadium Conspiracy Theories 1:12:53 - Systemic Bias, Self-Defense & The Keisha Golden Case 1:24:19 - Joey BadA$$ and Serayah: Public Breakups and Relationship Turmoil    Brand new voicemail: ‪(314) 649-3113‬ Subscribe to the Everyone Needs an Aquarius Patreon https://bit.ly/3tXnnCz  Email the show at straightolc@gmail.com           Follow SOLC Network online Instagram: https://bit.ly/39VL542                                    Twitter: https://bit.ly/39aL395                                     Facebook: https://bit.ly/3sQn7je                            To Listen to the podcast Podbean https://bit.ly/3t7SDJH                                YouTube http://bit.ly/3ouZqJU                                Spotify http://spoti.fi/3pwZZnJ                                Apple http://apple.co/39rwjD1                                                         IHeartRadio http://ihr.fm/2L0A2y

It’s a necessary conversation about equity, dignity, and why we need to protect all trans people's right to play. We want to hear from you!

LGBTQ Rights Under Attack? Senegal, Trinidad, Trump & Hollywood | This Gay Week From Washington, D.C. to Senegal and Trinidad & Tobago, LGBTQ rights are facing renewed challenges around the world. Join Karel and Scott Jacobsen of The Good Men Project, reporting from Ukraine, for another lively edition of This Gay Week—where serious news meets sharp conversation and a little Hollywood fun. This week we cover:

This Gay Week: A Global Crackdown on LGBTQ Rights? From Indonesia to Senegal, Bangladesh to Australia, anti-LGBTQ policies and rhetoric are making headlines around the world. Is the global fight for equality entering a dangerous new chapter? This week on This Gay Week, Karel and Scott Jacobsen (joining us from Ukraine) break down the biggest LGBTQ stories from across the globe:

LIVE From Ukraine: LGBTQ Rights Are Under Attack Worldwide | This Gay Week What happens when you discuss LGBTQ rights while ballistic missiles are falling nearby? This week on This Gay Week, Scott Jacobsen joins me live from Ukraine to examine the biggest LGBTQ stories from around the world—including the realities of living in a war zone while continuing to fight for equality. This week's stories include: • Russia's crackdown on LGBTQ people reaches absurd new levels, with even SpongeBob SquarePants caught in the Kremlin's culture war. • A Russian bar owner and two employees are arrested simply for allowing LGBTQ people to gather. • Ukrainian LGBTQ soldiers risk their lives defending their country, only to return home still fighting for equal rights. • Bulgaria holds a government-supported “Family March” on the same day as Pride, raising new questions about LGBTQ equality in Eastern Europe. • New setbacks for transgender rights in the United States spark concern over whether similar policies could spread around the world. These stories aren't isolated—they're part of a growing global struggle over equality, freedom, and human rights. Join us for thoughtful conversation, analysis, and perspectives you won't hear on most mainstream news programs.

The U.S. Supreme Court left some of its biggest decisions for last this session. Justices delivered a series of major opinions with consequences that will impact nearly every corner of the country. *** Thank you for listening. Help power On Point by making a donation here: wbur.org/giveonpoint

400+ Anti-LGBTQ Bills: Why Pride Matters More Than Ever | This Gay Week As Pride Month begins, LGBTQ people around the world are asking the same question: Are things getting better—or getting worse? This week on This Gay Week, Karel welcomes Scott Jacobsen of The Good Men Project for a wide-ranging conversation on the most important LGBTQ stories making headlines across the globe. Topics include:

With just a week until the FIFA World Cup begins, Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul announced they will be ramping up transportation and safety protocols across the city. WFUV's Sonia Weliwitigoda reports. The last time the Knicks were in the NBA Finals was 1999. That year, WFUV listeners voted “Return of the Grievous Angel,” a tribute album for Graham Parsons, as the best album of the year, and the Knicks fell to the San Antonio Spurs that year. But last night the Knicks defeated the Spurs in Game 1 of the NBA finals. New Yorkers, including Governor Kathy Hochul, are celebrating. There's a colorful new campaign in New York City for Pride Month. Pink, white and blue text reading “Trans Rights are Human Rights,” will soon fill LinkNYC kiosks and subway screens across the city. WFUV's Xenia Gonikberg sat down with Dez Stavracos, the artist behind the campaign which aims to educate LGBTQ+ New Yorkers on where they can learn what rights they have. This week in music news, WFUV's Livia Regina shares some of Jack Antonoff's interview with the station about Bleachers' new album. Plus, Phoebe Bridgers has a pop-up show in NYC and Julia Jacklin is going on tour.

400+ Anti-LGBTQ Bills: Why Pride Month Still Matters Many people ask: “Why do we still need Pride Month?” After all, same-sex marriage is legal. LGBTQ people are visible in media, business, and politics. Haven't we won? The answer is no. As Pride Month begins, LGBTQ Americans—especially transgender youth—are facing the most significant legal and political backlash in decades. While marriage equality remains intact nationwide, the fight has shifted from expanding rights to defending them. More than 400 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced across dozens of states, while over 100 anti-trans laws have been enacted in recent years. From healthcare restrictions and sports bans to book censorship and attacks on legal recognition, the LGBTQ community is confronting a coordinated effort to roll back hard-won protections. In this episode, Karel examines:

Chair of the equalities watchdog, Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson, on sex and gender, the right to protest, and doing one of the hardest jobs in Britain.

This Gay Week EXPLODES: Pride Canceled, Toilet Wars, Nigel Farage Backlash & A Viral LGBTQ Student Pride flags are being ripped down, politicians are fueling outrage, and once again the LGBTQ+ community is at the center of another global culture war. On this episode of Gay Week, Scott Jacobsen and Karel break down the stories everyone will be talking about. A chilling new true crime series revisits the tragic death of Alex Rodda and raises disturbing questions about social media, bullying, and accountability. In the UK, London Colney cancels its Pride celebration after hate crimes targeting Pride flags spark fear and outrage. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage faces backlash for defending a controversial preacher accused of anti-LGBTQ rhetoric. Plus, the endless “bathroom wars” continue as another anti-trans law takes effect, Senegal accuses the West of “imposing homosexuality,” and an openly gay 8th grader from Kentucky goes viral for all the right reasons. This episode is passionate, political, emotional, and deeply personal. Watch live weekdays and join the conversation.

Israel's Massive Pride Celebration vs Nigeria's LGBTQ Crackdown | This Gay Week This week on This Gay Week, Karel and journalist Scott Jacobsen report from Kyiv to break down the biggest LGBTQ stories happening around the world — from celebration and visibility to fear and persecution. In Nigeria and Cameroon, LGBTQ prisoners are still being jailed simply for existing. The organization Project Not Alone is working to literally buy freedom for some detainees, but how does that system work, and why are people being abandoned by the world community? Meanwhile, Israel is hosting a massive four-day Pride celebration in Tel Aviv near the Dead Sea, drawing LGBTQ tourists from around the globe. But with tensions exploding across the Middle East, is now the right time for a major international Pride event? Plus: • Marcia Gay Harden delivers an important message for mothers everywhere • LGBTQ youth are damaging their health in record numbers using a legal substance — what is happening? • Global LGBTQ headlines, politics, culture, and human rights stories you need to know Karel and Scott bring perspective, passion, and global insight to the stories shaping LGBTQ life around the world.

Children Are Listening: Hate Speech, Trump & America's Growing Violence Problem Two teenagers carried out a horrifying hate crime at a mosque in San Diego, killing three people. But the bigger question is: where does this kind of hatred come from? Children are not born hating Muslims, LGBTQ people, immigrants, or people of color. They learn it — from adults, media, politicians, social media, and the culture around them. Today, hate speech is treated like entertainment. Islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia, racism — people dismiss it as “just opinions,” until violence happens. Then everyone acts shocked. But words matter, especially when young people are listening. And no public figure in America has normalized division and cruelty more than Donald Trump. Whether it's immigrants, LGBTQ people, Muslims, or political enemies, the message spreads far beyond rallies and cable news. The children are listening. And sometimes, they act. Plus: The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas is shutting down, and the reason says a lot about America's economy. Businesses are increasingly abandoning average Americans and focusing only on wealthier consumers. What does that say about where the country is headed? The Karel Cast dives into politics, culture, media, and the stories shaping our lives — with honesty, humor, and humanity.

IT'S BEEN A WEEK!!! Lizz and Moji have been chugging Imodium the last seven days as they follow the twists and turns of the Fifth Circus Court ruling that created a federal ban and put the mail distribution of the abortion pill mifepristone on the chopping block. Between Sam Alito giving us a week of reprieve to dial back our panic to 23/7 and the FDA assessing the fate of abortion medication using a debunked “study” (really just a forced-birth fever dream scribbled on fishwrap), we were already hanging by a thread. Then Oklahoma decided to do the absolute most by funneling money to FAKE clinics.

Why Morality In America Is A Farce Eight children are killed in Louisiana—and America moves on like nothing happened. Yet every time politicians want to restrict rights or target marginalized communities, they say the same thing: “It's for the children.” But here's the truth: gun violence is the #1 cause of death for people under 18 in the United States. So why isn't that where the outrage is? In this episode of The Karel Show, we break down the uncomfortable reality behind America's selective morality—and why the “protect the children” argument rings hollow. Plus: * What triggered a personal breaking point this weekend—and what you can learn from it * The ongoing chaos around the Strait of Hormuz—what's really going on? * Why new data suggests many Americans may be richer than they think—and why the government still gets poverty wrong

“It Was NEVER About The Children… America's Moral Hypocrisy EXPOSED”

A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration can't continue withholding tens of millions of dollars in funding over the school district's policies on transgender students. WNYC reporter Giulia Heyward chats with us about what this means for schools, students, and the city. Also, WNYC's Arun Venugopal talks about the new city council proposal for a $30 minimum wage, and what its supporters and opponents alike are saying. -Got any questions, comments or story ideas?

The Trump administration fired over 300,000 federal employees, with Black women disproportionately represented among those let go. Pete Hegseth purged generals and military personnel. Kash Patel fired more than a thousand experienced FBI agents. Pam Bondi gutted the DOJ of over 6,400 people. The result: the very agencies Trump wanted to weaponize against his enemies are now too hollowed out to function. The Minneapolis U.S. Attorney's Office lost 75% of its staff after prosecutors refused to charge protesters with terrorism-related felonies. Grand juries are rejecting politically motivated cases. Federal judges are throwing out prosecutions targeting figures like Letitia James and James Comey. Illegally appointed U.S. attorneys like Alina Haba and Lindsay Halligan are being blocked by the courts. Hawk identifies three categories of resistance keeping democracy alive: everyday Americans confronting ICE, citizens serving on grand juries and rejecting bad cases, and federal district court judges like Judge Boasberg refusing to rubber-stamp political prosecutions. The episode closes with a brutally honest reflection on Trump voters and a focus group story about a disabled mother on Medicaid who supported stripping healthcare from trans kids even as the big beautiful bill threatened to leave her and her children homeless.

In this compelling interview, Dr. Alex Iantaffi interviews transgender pioneer and Minnesota State Representative Leigh Finke. They discuss cross-movement solidarity, the recent militarized occupation of Minnesota by ICE during Operation Metro Surge, the impact of the current political violence on trans communities, especially trans women, and on Leigh herself, and the importance of community organizing and political engagement in the fight for all our civil rights.Leigh Finke is honored to serve as State Representative for District 66A. Prior to holding office she worked as a journalist, media creator, and documentary filmmaker. In 2022, she became the first out trans woman elected to the Minnesota Legislature. During her first two terms in office, Leigh has advocated for 2SLGBTQIA+ equality, abortion rights, prison justice, and environmental equity. She chairs the House Reproductive Freedom Caucus and serves as Co-Vice Chair of the Judiciary Committee. In her personal time, Leigh enjoys writing, painting, traveling, skateboarding, and organizing community events, and exploring Minnesota's parks with her kids.A few invitations and takeaways from the episode:Cross-movement solidarity is essential because our liberation is tied to one another.Trans, Two-Spirit, nonbinary, and/or gender expansive people are part of and belong in all communities.Engage in local and state elections to support 2SLGBTQ+ rights.Build community networks for mutual support and safety.Advocate for policies that protect civil rights and gender-affirming care, especially for minors.Educate yourselves and others about the systemic nature of injustice and resistance.Find out more about Leigh Finke at the following links:https://www.leighformn.com/about https://linktr.ee/leighformn24 https://www.instagram.com/leighformn/  Instagram: GenderStoriesHosted by Alex IantaffiMusic by Maxwell von RavenGender Stories logo by Lior Effinger-Weintraub

The U.S. has waged war on Iran for more than a month now. On this week's On the Media, what Defense Secretary Hegseth's monthly Pentagon prayer meetings reveal about his war strategy. Plus, hear how trans rights are being curtailed across the country.  [01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with Brian Kaylor, president and editor-in-chief of Word&Way and author of The Bible According to Christian Nationalists, to talk about Defense Secretary Hegseth's monthly prayer meetings at the Pentagon. They discuss what the violent rhetoric reveals about Hegseth's approach to war and why these meetings signal a troubling fusion of church and state.  [18:46] Brooke talks with Marlene Laruelle, professor at Luiss University in Rome and director of the Illiberalism Studies Program at George Washington University, about Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel's series of lectures on religion, tech, politics, and society, which he took to the doorstep of the Vatican last month. They discuss his controversial beliefs about the antichrist, and what Thiel's theology reveals about his desire to reorder politics. [33:04] Brooke speaks with Alejandra Caraballo, civil rights attorney and a clinical instructor at Harvard Law School's Cyberlaw Clinic, about the torrent of legal attacks against trans people, and why she's been looking toward a legal framework invented in the wake of Nazi Germany, called "the dual state," to better understand this moment.  Further reading / watching: “At Pentagon Worship Service, Hegseth Casts Iran Conflict as Violent Holy War Against God's Enemies,” by Brian Kaylor “Peter Thiel in Rome: Is Liberalism Ready for the Return of God?” by Marlene Laruelle “The Dual State of Trans Existence,” by Alejandra Caraballo On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

This week, the Idaho Senate is considering a bill that would block transgender people from using public bathrooms that conform with their gender identity, escalating the state's preexisting trans bathroom ban in public schools. A first offense could land someone in prison for a year. This bill is just the latest in a devastating cascade of legal actions stripping away trans rights. For the midweek pod, host Brooke Gladstone speaks with Alejandra Caraballo, a civil rights attorney and a Clinical Instructor at Harvard Law School Cyberlaw Clinic, about why she's been looking toward a legal framework invented in the wake of Nazi Germany called "the dual state" to better understand this moment.    On the Media is supported by listeners like you.

As their public approval sinks lower and lower, the MAGA right is leaning harder and harder into policies of abject cruelty directed at vulnerable populations that have been turned into sacrificial scapegoats; that is especially true when it comes to immigrants and trans people. In the state of Kansas, for instance, Republicans just rammed through one of the most extreme anti-trans bills in the country. TRNN Editor-in-Chief speaks with journalist and LGBTQ+ policy analyst Erin Reed about how the new law is affecting trans Kansans and about the explosion of anti-trans policies around the country. Additional links/info: Erin Reed website, Substack, Facebook page, Bluesky page, TikTok, and Instagram Erin Reed, Substack, “Anti-Trans National Legal Risk Assessment Map: Feb 2026”Erin Reed, Substack, “"You outlaw it": Heritage Foundation President announces intent to outlaw all trans adult care”Sherman Smith & Morgan Chilson, Kansas Reflector, “Trans Kansans struggle with Legislature's ‘cruelty' as driver's licenses are invalidated”Sherman Smith, Kansas Reflector, “Trans men file lawsuit over Kansas law that restricts bathroom use and invalidates driver's licenses”Credits:Audio Post-Production: Alina Nehlich Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

During an NCAA women's swimming championship in March 2022, two seniors tied for fifth place. The race was unremarkable except for one fact: One of the swimmers, Lia Thomas, was a transgender woman. The swimmer she tied with, Riley Gaines, believed the NCAA never should have allowed her to participate.The matchup, and Gaines' subsequent transformation into a leading anti-trans activist, has fueled a growing movement to “save women's sports” from trans women—and a conservative crusade against trans rights more broadly. This week on Reveal, we examine Gaines' rise and radicalization, as her rhetoric shifts from calling out NCAA policy to calling trans women  sexual predators.Over the last year, the anti-trans movement has reached a tipping point. Trans girls are banned from girls' school sports in the majority of states. The NCAA and US Olympic and Paralympic committees have banned trans women from women's competitions. The Supreme Court is currently considering the issue, too.Then we dive into the science to understand how gender-affirming hormone therapy affects trans women's performance—and what questions science still has not answered around fairness in women's sports.Finally, we return to the swimming pool, as reporter Imogen Sayers speaks with Meghan Cortez-Fields, one of the last transgender swimmers to compete as a woman in the NCAA.

Melissa, Leah, and Kate kick off by discussing the functional suspension of the Constitution in Minneapolis and Trump's targeting of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Then they dissect the arguments in a pair of cases that came before the Court last week about whether state laws barring trans girls and women from their schools' sports teams violate the Constitution or Title IX.
