Hello Buzzkilltrix!

This week, like every week, your Buzzkills play whack-a-mole with shitty anti-abortion laws and the garbage people who breathe them into existence!

HIGHLIGHTS! Idaho is doing the most trying to provide the least as they are about to become the first state to criminalize “abortion trafficking,” which is the BS scary name they came up with for helping a minor who needs an abortion get an abortion, in or out of the state. The complexities are chilling and we break it all down.

We’ll also fill you in on Mark Lee Dickson, a creepy 37-year-old anti-abortion virgin, who is traipsing across the country like some kind of fallopian troubadour, trying to convince every town in America to become a “Sanctuary City For The Unborn.”

“A what now?” You ask.

We give you the lowdown on that and the history of this one-man repro-demolitionist and drag him for absolute filth.

Also, today’s podcast drops on International Trans Day Of Visibility! As dangerous anti-trans cruelty escalates, we wanted to talk with some incredible colleagues about bodily autonomy, intersectionality, and how we can all stand with and for trans folks in our activism and our lives. We sat down with Jack Knoxville From the Trans Empowerment Project, the first trans masc candidate to run for political office in the entire southern US.

Plus, AAF BFF, from the groundbreaking series “Transparent,” we have actor, comedian, activist, and TRANDYMAN Ian Harvie! to talk comedy, trans exclusion in LGBTQIA spaces and the joy he gets from building everything from patios to catios!

Plus Molly Gaebe is here to recap this week’s big steaming pile of news!

Times are tough, but The Feminist Buzzkills keep you laughing and informed. We gotchu.
