Content warning: Mentions of transphobia and police violence

In honor of Trans Visibility Week and Autism Acceptance Month, Mary talks with her colleague from Neighborhood Access, Eryn Star.
The two discuss at length about how ableism leads the non-disabled community to form opinions when it comes to the disabled community, autonomy, and gender identity as well as how ableism and transphobia are intertwined.
Eryn Star (They/Them) is an autistic trans queer activist who works as an In-House Intern at AAPD and the Social Media Manager at Neighborhood Access. Eryn is passionate about building solidarity between disability justice and queer justice movements. They hope to support disabled community spaces in ensuring that disabled trans people are centered in disability activism.

The Politics of Disability was named Best Interview Podcast at the Astoria Film Festival in both October 2022 and again in June 2023.
