Description: We sat down with trans activist April Holcombe to talk about the unrelenting war being waged against trans people.

April describes what is happening to trans people as "political sadism". She unpacks why right-wingers are so obsessed with policing gender, why socialists say gender is socially constructed, and how we can best fight back against these heinous attacks.
