Journalist, presenter, and author Shon Faye joins Jameela this week to discuss how fighting for trans justice is fighting for human justice at large. They cover why liberals can be very transphobic as well, how the media creates scapegoats out of minority groups, the difference between allyship and solidarity, why people are so afraid of trans kids, and more. Check out Shon's book The Transgender Issue: An Argument for Justice, available now in the UK from penguin.co.uk .
