This episode…is part 2 of Self Defense in the Queer community series and we discuss the reality of physical and political threats to the transgender citizens in our country. Host Ti Cersley talks about threats to trans lives during the Trans Day of Visibility march in NYC. Also, a special interview with Libby Edwards and her dear friend and trans man, Conor about his experiences with threats, assaults and the reality of contemplating arming up.
