Dana Goldberg and the U.S. Midterms

Comedian-activist Dana Goldberg is our guide to the U.S. Midterm Elections, as transgender-related headlines dominate the news: The top courts in the New Zealand and the U.S. hand down positive rulings regarding gender affirming care for adults and children, the Hijra of Bangladesh are seeking legal protections to match the rights they have on paper, and political shenanigans in Texas use a trans group’s name in phony election ads. In other news, France succeeds in getting the UN Human Rights Council to declare its support for the universal decriminalization of homosexuality. All that and more now that you’ve found This Way Out.
