Rachel talks with Jam Hammond, a social justice advocate living in Pittsburgh working with the Pittsburgh Commission on Human Relations and Sisters PGH and a transman. They discuss the new Netflix documentary Disclosure which is the first documentary film of its kind to document trans representation in film and television from the perspective of transpeople. Jam shares his own experiences watching film and television covered in the documentary and the paradox of increased representation and increased violence that the documentary explores as well as some of the challenging intersections feminism has had in media with trans inclusion. 

*This episode is marked explicit for some discussion of sexual intercourse in the films and television shows presented in Disclosure.*
