On today’s show, we explore the human impact of increasing transphobia on our transgender family and community members, in conversation with kai alviar horton, the Executive Director of Trans Lifeline, a peer support and crisis hotline offering phone support to transgender people. It is the first transgender crisis hotline to exist in the United States as well as Canada, and the only suicide hotline whose operators are all transgender. Trans Lifeline has a policy against nonconsensual active rescue, meaning that they will not call emergency services or law enforcement without an explicit request.
