On this episode of The TFP Civic Report cohosts Tabbytha Bridged, and Caroline Penny are sitting down to talk the week of October 30th to November 5th Today co-hosts Tabbytha Bridged, and Caroline Penny explore this weeks anti trans legislation, from Virgina, to Florida, exploring The Norway Study, discussing the study and its implications for understanding transgenderexperiences, and the harm these type of studies cause to the trans community, explore what's being taught in schools and address the "two sides" argument in the science debate, and dive into the perception of trans people as “militant group” and discuss ways to address fears and concerns of parents. We’ll highlight the experiences of an advocate and discuss the importance of activism, while discussing recent anti-trans bills and how the alt-right uses fear tactics, particularly involving children. I’d like to address common misconceptions and debunk the "trans ideology" often used against trans individuals, and explore the power of education in fostering acceptance and understanding of transgender experiences. Near the end we’re gonna spend some time addressing Biden's electability, and the Reaction to Gaza and its impact on voting choices in 2024. It’ll be important to explore the choice between Biden, Trump, or an independent candidate, understanding the importance of making an informed voting decision, and the potential consequences of not voting or choosing a lesser evil. We will end on a lighter note by highlighting some notable moments in queer history.

On this episode of The TFP Civic Report Athena Promachus and Caroline Penny are joined by Noah Buchanan, and Elliot Ownbey Today co-hosts Athena Promachus, and Caroline Penny sit with Elliot Ownbey, and Noah Buchanan “The Trans Formations Project is a trans-led nonprofit that tracks anti-trans legislation being proposed, voted on, and passed in the US. A few other organizations do this, but its behind a paywall and they don't track as much as we do. We also have a weekly newsletter of the bills, some good/positive bills, and some action items (i.e. protests, bill hearings, etc.). We share out our content in Daily Threads on all social media platforms.” Through our Civic Report, we hope to educate the public to make well-informed decisions that can and will impact everyone, and advance the core tenets of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We believe that these values are essential to a healthy and thriving democracy, and we are committed to promoting them through our reporting. We believe that everyone has a right to be informed, and that access to accurate and unbiased information is essential for a functioning democracy.
