Why are conservative politicians launching a coordinated attack on transgender people right now? They’re implementing a power strategy used time and time again on countless marginalized groups in societies around the world, from Jews in Nazi Germany to gay people in 1990s America. Andy speaks with writer Shon Faye and reporter Jo Yurcaba about why it’s happening, how it impacts all of us, and what to do about it.
