Summary

This episode is ALL ABOUT LOVE. Many bell hooks references and so much critical conversation with the inimitable Laverne Cox: four time Emmy-nominated actress, Emmy winning documentary film producer and a prominent equal rights advocate. Laverne joined to talk all about the backlash to transgender visibility and transgender acceptance, in the form of draconian anti-trans laws around sports, healthcare and identification. She and Francesca talk about how the progressive left must stand up for human rights through our language and our actions, working to re-humanize a community that has been so obsessed over and treated as less than. It was spiritual, beautiful, and honest. Also, did we know Laverne is a lefty? Okur! Frantastic Fridays on The Bitchuation Room are free to watch.
