Podcast: Unboxing Trans History & Right Wing Rapists
We have the largest trans archive still in the community’s hands and we share with you some of the recent acquisitions from the last couple of weeks. This invariably wraps back around to current political narratives about trans people and we notice that anti-trans politicians seem to have a few skellies in their own closets!

Why this article may matter
Community significance
“Podcast: Unboxing Trans History & Right Wing Rapists” may matter to community readers because it preserves a first-person or testimonial account connected to history, archives, and memory, while also engaging transgender identity and history. Such accounts can document how an issue was understood and experienced from within the period or community being discussed.
Historical significance
The article may have historical value because it explicitly interprets or preserves material concerning history, archives, and memory. Published in 2017 by Transadvocate.com, it can be read both for the history it describes and as evidence of how transgender identity and history was framed at that moment.
Policy significance
The article’s strongest policy connection is public accommodations and facilities and education policy. It links that institutional frame to history, archives, and memory and transgender identity and history, making it potentially useful for tracing how an argument moves from description or history into law, regulation, administration, or public practice.
