Ep.136: Trans Women Are Women Ft Angelica Torres
“I’ve always known that I was a female. Folks always ask ‘How did you know?’ It just was. It just is.” — Angelica Torres, NYC-native, lover of bathtubs and glitter, speaking about her experience being assigned the wrong gender at birth.
We cover SO much in this episode. From female rappers like Cardi B, Nicki Minaj and Azalea Banks, to identifying as a Trans woman at work. From RuPaul’s problematic comments on Trans women to being misgendered on Oprah. This conversation with Angelica is one that I am so grateful for, and is very much worth a revisit. Tune in, listen, learn, and enjoy!
