Straight2L, The L Word Podcast
TV & Film
Welcome to Straight 2 L, a podcast about the television series The L Word! Host Tonya (a lesbian) invites Suzanne and Whitney (two straights) into her home to take a deep dive into the 15-year old show.
This week, we are taking a break and discussing Disclosure, the Netflix documentary on trans representation in television and movies. We are joined by James, one of the greatest of the tens, and discuss questions like:
How has trans representation in media changed over time? Can any of us cope with the greatness that is Laverne Cox? Why do we not see as many portrayals of trans men as trans women? Are there hidden truths in the storylines around Max, and did Ilene Chaiken just stumble onto them? And should we watch Vampire Diaries next?
Break out that last reserve of Fresca and join us for a chat on Disclosure!
Plus, consider donating to Emergency Release Fund, which provides bail funds to the trans community in New York City, as systemic discrimination and criminalization puts them more at risk during pre-trial detention. It was a donation to this organization that led to this bonus episode!
