Let’s Talk About The Trans Experience(On Trans Womanhood, Allyship, Pro-Blackness and More)

Good Up has always served as a safe space to talk about those experiences in life we didn’t know we had in common. Our hosts live at an intersection of multiple identities and understand very well what it’s like to be treated as subhuman by people in positions of privilege and power. We've been disappointed to see recent bigoted conversations on gender identity and trans womanhood.

So we're here to tell you now if it wasn’t already clear - if you refuse to see the humanity of our LGBTQ+ family - this isn’t the podcast for you boo.

Today, Daric (she/her) joins us for a beautiful conversation on the trans experience. Daric is a multimedia journalist who currently covers the intersection of news, entertainment, and culture at Reckon News. She is a proud Southern Black queer, trans woman based in Los Angeles. Today's conversation covers Daric's personal experience, our thoughts on how the Black community has navigated its embrace (and sometimes exclusion) of queer and trans members of our community, and more.
