The podcast is part of a larger conglomerate of projects brought together and made possible via the Ten:Tacles Initiative (The Transgender Educational Network: Theory in Action, Creativity, Liberation, Empowerment, and Service) directed by Dr. Susan Stryker, which aims “for social change activism rooted in humanities-based Transgender Studies” and “promulgates accurate narratives about trans* and non-binary lives at a time of increasingly consequential disinformation about these communities,” and made possibe in collaboration with San Francisco’s GLBT Historical Society, and the Andrew W.
