The Anti-Trans Hate Machine: A Plot Against Equality

May 16, 2023 / Xander Adams

~my favorite episode~

From TransLash Media, this documentary series takes us behind the curtains of the people and institutions driving the anti-trans backlash across the country to expose a highly-organized political apparatus, which makes the future potentially darker for everyone. To do so, we center the voices and stories of trans people, as well as their families, who are victimized by this hostile movement with our award-winning journalist Imara Jones guiding us along the way.

Xander is the Sound Designer of this series.

The podcast has been covered by WNYC’s ‘United States of Anxiety’, Bloomberg’s Quicktake, CNN, POLITICO, and The New Republic
