The second part of this week’s episodes is now posted! This week, we turn to a heavy, difficult, but important topic - the horrifyingly rampant murders of transgender people. From a missing person and a recent, unsolved murder, to the long-since cold murder case of an iconic drag queen and a badass tale of survival, these cases demonstrate the nightmarish and unnecessary gauntlet of danger facing trans people in this country. Join us in telling transphobia to fuck the fuck off!
