Podcast
In the first episode of the “Transcending Perspectives” podcast, tune in as you get to hear the personal journey of Alex Franzblau, an FIU student who is a member of the university’s Young Democratic Socialists of America organization. Franzblau, having recently come out as transfeminine, takes us into the experience of publicly coming out as trans at a time when this community’s rights are under attack as well as gives us insight into the struggles members of this community have with gaining access to gender-affirming healthcare.
Moving from a member of the transgender community who has recently come out, this next episode introduces us to Emily Kaufman, a current law student at the University of Miami and who has been out as transgender for eight years. Kaufman, having worked and interned for senators and offices in Philadelphia and Capitol Hill, offers us an insight into how there used to be hardly any bills opposing trans rights compared to the dramatic rise we see happening today.
