I still feel very uncertain about the word “masc” or the concept of “transmasculine” as a category name for people who may identify as butch, trans or some of the flannel-ier neighbourhoods of non-binary. I’m excited for this partly because I’m a pretty big fan of all the speakers in their different ways, but also because many of the conversations I’ve seen presented about Black trans experiences are discussed in a way that still centres white experiences and audience members, so this early-days-of- Clubhouse vibe and an all-star cast to go with it feels like a real treat. EDT on Thursday, June 8, on channel 126, but will be available for listeners on the Sirius XM app through June, and will be a focused hour specifically dedicated to discussing Black and trans experiences. The segment will air on the radio at 1 p.m. The show features three truly top-tier guests: author and educator Tiq Milan, “artivist” and strategist Hope Giselle and Xtra’s former editor at large, Tre’vell Anderson, who has the newest book of the bunch, the amazing We See Each Other: A Black Trans Journey Through TV and Film, as well as a live audience. Over on Sirius XM Radio, where thematic channels abound, Urban View, a channel dedicated to Black voices and experiences, with an all-Black lineup of hosts and programming, will host a special town hall titled “Black and Transgender in America.” The town hall is hosted by Clay Cane (author of Live Through This: Surviving the Intersections of Sexuality, God, and Race, which I learned about only through researching the town hall to see what kind of an environment it might be, and after reading the first half, I am legitimately excited) and Reecie Colbert.
