I'm not sure how much work folks here have done around transphobia and other isms but leading Trans scholars and thought leaders (Janet Mock to name one) have fully asserted asking about a trans persons genitals is transphobic. Hell it is even in GLAAD's basic guidelines on how to be an ally. Yes the guest was trash, but the casual transphobia when you consider the rate that trans black are murdered every year is abysmal. I've been rocking with y'all for a loooong time. VIP almost from the get go. I cancelled my membership today when I realized "Why am I giving money to a straight white men who is so cavalier about his allyship when there are so many queer/poc podcasts I can support? I appreciate all the years of funny and I hope this latest gambit got you all more VIP subscriptions, but I am out.
