You've heard about them on the news, and probably read poorly-informed opinions about them on Facebook: laws designed to tell transgender people which public restrooms they can and can't use. What will be the consequences of laws like this in the lives of trans folks? We talk about it this week, with trans Louisvillians Katherine Waddell and James Alcantara. And when photos of a nearly-unrecognizable Li'l Kim showed up on Instagram, who else could we turn to to help make sense of it all, but Dr. Yaba Blay? Blay is the author of (1)ne Drop: Shifting the Lens on Race, and work often touches on issues of colorism and skin tone. She joined us to talk about skin bleaching as a phenomenon, and the social pressures that contribute to women - famous or otherwise - choosing to drastically alter their appearances.
