In this eye-opening episode, we take a deep dive with Dr. Adrienne Graham into the most common myths and misconceptions about transgender people—and why they matter. From misunderstandings about gender identity and medical transition to harmful narratives about detransition and violence, we break down the facts and challenge the fear-based rhetoric often seen in media and politics.
We explore how politicizing trans existence contributes to discrimination, mental health struggles, and even violence—and we highlight the resilience and diversity of trans communities in the face of these challenges. Whether you're looking to become a better ally or seeking clarity in a sea of misinformation, this episode will ground you in truth and compassion. Share this episode to counter misinformation and support trans visibility. Let’s replace fear with facts and debates with dignity.
