Episode 31: Abolition, Accountability, & New Growth with Tristan & Lauren

In our season 2 finale (!), Tristan (they/them) and Lauren (she/her) share updates about their lives, work, and mental health; revisit past episodes to offer context and clarity; and practice accountability for ourselves and conversations we’ve had on the podcast.

Tune in to hear us talk about...

• What’s new with Tristan and Lauren’s work, from trans inclusion workshops to online courses to collaborations

• Ways that we’re practicing accountability for the podcast, including community agreements and coming back to topics when harm’s happened

• Subtle and not-so-subtle ways transphobia is showing up today

• Why it can take a minute to realize harm has happened, even when we’re the ones who’ve been harmed

• What abolition and defunding the police really mean (hint: it’s not “chaos”) and ways we can embody those values every day

• Nuances of recovering from narcissistic abuse and cult-y shit

• How to be there for a friend who’s leaving a high-control group or relationship

• What’s coming up in season 3

…and more!
