Charli Ash","description":"This week, I am joined by my friend and comrade Charli Ash to talk about, well, a whole helluva lot. In this dialogue, Charli lays out trans* history, including how transgender folks have been pathologized, how trans* folks have accessed medical care for transition, the pathologization of transness, and a whole bunch more. Then, we transition to looking at the current moment and the anti-trans and homophobic legislation in places like Texas. We even touch on the struggles of folks in Ukraine and how Putin\u2019s crackdown on the LGBTQ+ community prefigured the reactionary playbook being used against people in the so-called U.S.&amp;nbsp; Links  Follow Charli on Twitter.&amp;nbsp; Operation.Solidarity Linktree to support anarchist and anti-authoritarian struggles in Ukraine.&amp;nbsp;  Support Trans Rights in Texas and score a slew of sweet TRPGs.&amp;nbsp; Support Coffee with Comrades on Patreon, follow us on Twitter and Instagram, and visit our website.
