Carmen talks with renowned author Julia Serano about her 2007 book Whipping Girl that defined trans feminism, and how those concepts hold up today- and maybe even need to be reintroduced to younger generations of queer and trans people. They also discuss her 2019 book Sexed Up and how some of those concepts may explain the current wave of gay and trans people being labeled as "groomers" by the rising Christo-facist movement in the US.

Topics include: Trans misogyny and effemimania in the current day, the pros and cons of the greater trans umbrella, the rebirth of the word "Transsexual" and why specific language is important.
