Transcending Norms (w/ TS Madison)

Headgum & Nicole Byer
About this episode

Actress and activist TS Madison (judge on RuPaul's Drag Race) is here for a heartfelt chat on her journey from being a viral TikTok sensation to a vocal advocate for trans rights, and all of the unseen struggles she faced in navigating systemic biases. She discusses doing sex work for survival, shares real examples of the transphobic harassment she receives to this day, and her relentless efforts to forge a better future. This episode is a raw exploration into the battles and victories that come with being Black, trans, and unapologetically visible.

Content Warning: This episode contains audio clips featuring transphobic harassment which may be disturbing for some listeners.
