“Today’s episode examines the challenges faced by marginalised groups, particularly autistic and transgender individuals, in achieving liberation. Using historical liberation movements, such as the Black Panther Party and Indigenous resistance, as examples of successful community-building and cultural preservation, and contrasting them with the fragmented nature of current neurodivergent and trans advocacy, Dr. Jaime Hoerricks critiques the pursuit of perfection within the Global North and emphasises the importance of embracing imperfection, fostering solidarity, and building authentic cultural foundations for lasting, systemic change. Ultimately, they advocate for a unified movement centered on self-definition and collective action to achieve genuine liberation.”
