I Said What I Said

144. Laverne Cox: MAGA, intersectionality and living out our politics (including COMPASSION)


Listen Later

I love the conversation Laverne’s admission has given rise too. A lot of it is shallow and obvious in its call to action (cancel Laverne) so I’d like to provide a deeper perspective rooted in compassion and consideration. I discuss: 


  • Dating Across Political Lines
  • The Intersection of Politics and Dating
  • How people relate to their oppressors
  • The Challenges Faced by Black Trans Women
  • How black folks relate to white folks
  • Dating preferences within a white supremacist world
