Amid a record-setting year of anti-transgender legislation, TransLash Media presents our new limited-series podcast, The Anti-Trans Hate Machine. This four-part program takes us behind the curtain of the dark money, right wing organizations, radical figures and extreme ideology driving the anti-trans backlash across the country. We 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.

In this gripping season of the Anti-Trans Hate Machine, host Imara Jones examines the disturbing links between the rise of political violence in America, far-right paramilitary groups, and anti-trans hate. Join us as we show how far-right militias, by redirecting their focus after the January 6 insurrection to attacking drag shows and LGBTQ events, are seeking to destabilize communities from the ground up. We’ll uncover how these extremist groups, in tandem with Republican politicians at all levels, are leveraging anti-trans ideology to advance their broader agenda of political upheaval. In each episode, we'll shed light on the dangerous rise in targeted attacks, from Idaho's militia battlegrounds to neo-Nazi rallies in Ohio, and analyze the systemic failures enabling this surge. Importantly we will also unpack what must be done to combat this rising threat and preserve democracy.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
