This week is a very horrible and difficult topic, but one we thought needed to be covered, and hopefully we did it justice. This week we are talking about Transgender people who have been murdered. This topic highlights the abuse and issues trans people face every single day, as well as the ultimate price many pay simply for living as their true selves. We try our best to be allies, and we hope shedding some light on these absolutely terrible cases will help put an end to violence against trans people, because it's simply not okay. Sorry for no fun quips this week, twisted listeners, but this topic is just too dark. We still hope you tune in, and please remember: TRANS LIVES MATTER.
