Transmission: Recent Episodes
Jackson Bird
Transmission is breaking transgender stereotypes one episode at a time. Host Jackson Bird sits down with a fellow trans person each episode to talk about their experiences in our new age of heightened trans visibility.
Lorne Clarkson and Issa Ismail, the director and subject of the documentary A Year in Transition, join host Jackson Bird to discuss the making of the film and the importance of trans art made by and for trans people. The three also discuss male privilege as transmasculine people, visible markers of transness, fitting into the community, and more.

Author Alex Myers joined host Jackson Bird to discuss his book Revolutionary, a historical fiction novel about his ancestor Deborah Samson. In the 1780s, Deborah escaped her life of indentured servitude, disguised herself as a man and enlisted in the Continental Army under the name Robert Shurtliff.
Alex also shares his experiences coming out as a teenager in the 90s and his current experiences as a boarding school teacher–including what it’s like guiding young men in today’s climate and what role we as trans men have to play in speaking out against toxic masculinity and male privilege.
