In the 3rd installment of the minisode series, Carmen welcomes back friend of the pod Janie Danger to discuss the latest news in the trans community. They discuss why they fucking hate it here: The censure of Montana legislator Zooey Zephyr, and the murder of black trans woman and star of the movie “Kokomo City” Rasheeda Williams aka Koko Da Doll, in Atlanta. Then the two celebrate Minnesota and Washington states becoming the latest safe haven states for abortion and gender affirming care access, then they wrap up with celebrating Tucker Carlson’s recent firing, and other miscellaneous topics!
