How Cis-Men Can Be Better Allies to the Trans Community
YouTube video by The Find Out Podcast How Cis-Men Can Be Better Allies to the Trans Community

We had a really important conversation on the Find Out Pod last week about what it means to be a true ally to the Trans community.

And why it's incredibly important to listen to the community if you're going to advocate for them.

Getting bodies in the street and co-opting other people's events are two different things. Simply being present doesn't make a group effective or even helpful. As I write in my piece, which includes tons of citations, they've caused a lot of harm both to movements and to individual activists.

Warning for 'Remove the Regime' Protestors: ‘Refuse Fascism’ Is Not Your Ally Refuse Fascism is a Front for the Revolutionary Communist Party—a Personality Cult that Co-opts and Sabotages Effective Movements

In the last 24 hours I’ve seen a bunch of my friends at the #RemoveTheRegime protests used by the front-group “#RefuseFascism.” I only recently became aware of who they are and of their history of co-opting and sabotaging movements. So I wrote this warning.

As Veterans, we know that when it takes a $50,000 bonus to get someone to wear a uniform, the quality of the recruiting pool has drastically reduced and the mission of the force is unpopular.

ICE Agents will only grow worse over time, and they’ll grow more dangerous every day.

Facts don’t matter to those who cling to their biases like a lifeboat. We can call out the lies from conservative media, but we need to build a better narrative that speaks to shared values. Together, we can make it happen. #FindOutPodcast #politics

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Ken Burns got it wrong.

In the first episode of On Offense, I talk with historian and veteran Tad Stoermer about how patriotic myths make Americans passive—and what real resistance looked like.

What should we ask him?

Ok so clearly some folks here are upset that I interviewed Graham Platner.

I think it’s important to explain what the Find Out Podcast is, and how we were born.

In short - our goal is to move men to the left. In order to do that - we have to welcome folks who have changed over time.
