Episode 1: Class Warfare

In this episode of "Transgenders At War," host Athena Hope, a black transgender woman serving in the U.S. Military, discusses the ongoing class war in America and shares stories from transgender individuals. Athena highlights the misconception that resources are scarce, arguing that the top 1% hoards wealth while promoting divisive narratives. She emphasizes the importance of unity among the working class to combat elite exploitation.

The episode features posts from trans women and men, discussing issues like the Trump administration's censorship of LGBT-related research and the challenges trans individuals face in prisons and public spaces. Athena celebrates a legal victory preventing trans women from being housed in men's prisons and calls for continued solidarity against oppressive policies. She also shares personal experiences and encourages allies to support the trans community.
