Transcending Humanity Podcast
Transcending Humanity is a podcast by the trans/enby/gnc community and our Allies. Season 1 focused primarily on the Transgender experience, and now starting in Season 2 we will be covering humanity in general from a leftist/liberal perspective. Current events, politics, human rights and more will be discussed, from both trans and cis perspectives! We'll continue to have guests of many specialties and backgrounds! Tune in every 2 weeks! Video versions of the show are also available on YouTube.
