On episode 294 we discuss portrayals of the monarchy and the military in the TV shows Bridgerton, Riverdale and Good Trouble.
We also discuss Dylan Alcott and representation of people with disabilities, plus the documentary Disclosure (Netflix) on trans representation in pop culture. For more on trans issues and feminism, see the article ‘There is so much more for us to worry about than men masquerading as women to access single-sex spaces’ by Kathryn Bromwich.
Another thing we cover is the movie You People (Netflix) and critiques of Robin DiAngelo’s book White Fragility.
