“This episode explores a personal essay by Dr. Jaime Hoerricks, a trans woman and autistic person, who uses their experience to critique the commodification of identities, particularly within the context of social media and the pressures to conform to societal expectations. Hoerricks argues that true revolution begins within oneself, not on social media, and that the struggle for authenticity and justice is a deeply personal one. They illustrate their point by comparing the commodification of their trans identity with the commodification of autism, highlighting the need for individual agency and autonomy in resisting societal pressures.”
