Episode: Material Girls: why trans rights is class struggle
Description: This is a talk by Sophie Cotton about how trans people can fight back against the system. Sophie looks at the different theories of the system and argues that that class struggle is the best avenue to winning trans rights. She also argues that gender and trans experiences are grounded in material fact (contra Kathleen Stock's transphobic feminist book Material Girls). And the talk goes over some of the experiences from the NTEU struggle for gender affirmation leave.Â
