Скачать или смотреть Episode 154: News Breakdown: Trans Rights in the United States

In this special long-form episode of Listen Up Girl, we take a step back from the daily headlines to look at the full picture of transgender rights in America — how we got here, why this issue has become such a dominant political battleground, and what comes next.


Throughout the year, Listen Up Girl has covered countless stories involving transgender Americans: state bans on gender-affirming care, school policies, court challenges, election rhetoric, and the real-world impact on families and young people. This episode connects those dots.


We explore:

• What’s actually happening across the U.S.
• The conservative arguments driving these laws
• Why Republicans have made transgender issues such a central focus
• The perspective of transgender people and advocates
• How media and moral panic fuel the debate
• Why courts now matter more than legislatures
• How upcoming elections could shape the future of trans rights

This isn’t a shouting match — it’s a deep dive into fear, power, strategy, and humanity.


Because behind every political argument are real people being asked to justify their existence.


If you want context, clarity, and a fuller understanding of one of the most consequential civil-rights debates of our time, this episode is for you.
