Dana Goldberg and the U.S. Midterms

Comedian-activist Dana Goldberg is our guide to the U.S. Midterm Elections, as transgender-related headlines dominate the news: The top courts in the New Zealand and the U.S. hand down positive rulings regarding gender affirming care for adults and children, the Hijra of Bangladesh are seeking legal protections to match the rights they have on paper, and political shenanigans in Texas use a trans group’s name in phony election ads.
