Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR), also known as the International Transgender Day of Remembrance, is today (November 20th) and is a day to memorialise those who have been murdered as a result of transphobia. This episode is a heavy one where Sean, Sev and Ez are in studio together. Every year the Transgender Murder Monitor releases their count the number of trans, non-binary and gender diverse people who’ve been lost to violence in the last year.
Counted from the 1st of October 2023 til the 30th of September 2024, the demographics wont surprise you. Overwhelmingly they’re people of colour. Overwhelmingly they are transfeminine. Staggering numbers of them are s*x workers, migrants or refugees.
This year 350 trans and gender diverse people were murdered. To read the full list go to: https://transrespect.org/en/trans-murder-monitoring-2024/

Hey podcast listeners Tranzmission is going on a hiatus until next year. We are brewing some big plans as well as having a much needed break for our team. We've consistently pumped out podcasts for the three years and we've decided three months is a good time to have a rest. We'll still be live each week on 4ZZZ 102.1FM each Tuesday from 9am. You can also listen back live on the website https://4zzz.org.au/amrap/tranzmission Looking forward to coming back onto our podcasting platform in 2025.

This week Ez is joined in studio by George Levi to review Elliot Page and Dominic Savage's new film called Close To You. Together (and soon joined by Sean) they dicuss the style of film, what came up for them both throughout the story as well as other film recommendations.

Gender Abolition?

In this week’s episode, Bette (she/they), Lizard (they/them), and special guest Ludo (he/ze) discuss such thorny concepts as the so-called s*x/gender distinction and whether or not gender should be abolished entirely. The conversation touches on s*x as a “cluster concept”, social gender vs gender identity, gender as collaboration, gender nihilism, and the implications of the recent Tickle v Giggle ruling for self-ID.

Debunking the 80% “Desistance” Myth

With Ez away sick, Bette (she/they) flies solo in the studio for the first time, digging deep into the central piece of disinformation used by anti-trans campaigners: the oft-repeated myth that over 80% of trans kids will come to identify as cisgender as they mature. Find out why this statistic is so misleading and what constituted “gender nonconformity” in the 1950s-1980s. And no, there is no “cure” for being transgender.
