Jules speaks about her book A Short History of Trans Misogyny, the need to integrate material analysis into trans politics, and how it is that such a (relatively) small population of people have become the subject of such a high degree of political ire. Transcript forthcoming. This episode was recorded live at the 2024 Socialism Conference in Chicago in early September. We collaborated with conference organizers to host five discussions there over labor day weekend. Today's episode is the final recording to be released from those sessions.

As such, today's Death Panel is an episode in two parts: Part One — One Year (0:00:00 - 0:20:45) A statement on one year of genocide from us at Death Panel through parts of three texts from the past year. Part Two — Body Politics w/ Jasbir Puar (originally released November 21st, 2022) Beatrice and Jules speak with Jasbir Puar about the violent global effects of settler colonialism and how they shape our understanding of what we mean by “disability” and “debility.” We discuss how events like the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the bombings in 2014 are often described through the number of dead, when they also entail mass disablement and mass debilitation, and how colonial occupation itself can be understood through a theory of debility.
