This week, Lisa, Eliza, Ben, and Cori discuss the current state of things, now that the American public has had some time to digest Trump’s executive orders on gender. We talk about the schools, the hospitals, the protests, and the media’s dogged insistence on reporting inaccurately about this topic.
