A podcast from students in the Chicanx Studies department at UC Davis. Together we will be thinking with racialized queer and trans modes of being and belonging. Building from our course conversations, we will engage contemporary culture, current events, and queer/trans politics through the lens of queer of color critique. Each episode will be hosted by a different group of students from our upper-division seminar class, CHI 161: Queer and Trans Latinidad.

Episode 6: State Violence and Queer/Trans Migration
Hello, welcome to our podcast episode for CHI161 taught by Professor Joshua Redwine. In this episode Sabrina, Isabel, Estefanía, and María discuss issues of state violence and migration and how that specifically affects trans and queer Latinx/e immigrants.

Episode 5: Gender Reveal Parties, Both Normative and Non-conforming
Hello everyone! Welcome back to our podcast series on Queer and Trans Latinidad, here at UC Davis. Our names are Karla, Joel, and Patricia. On this week's podcast we'll be diving into the issues regarding Gender Reveal Parties and the gender normative ways that society has utilized specific colors to identify what a baby’s gender will be. We will also talk more about the new approach regarding Gender Reveal Parties and how more folxs have shifted to gender neutral approaches.
Disclaimer: In no way, shape, or form are we targeting folxs who participate in these traditional gender reveal parties, we are just giving some background information and our own thoughts.

Episode 3: Intersectionality, Paris is Burning, & Drag Brunches
Hello! Thanks for joining us! We are Anai, Arlena, Larisa, and Michelle, four students of CHI 161 at UC Davis. Welcome to our open conversation where we try to dissect and unravel the implications of intersectionality and nuanced identities that we observed in the award winning documentary Paris Is Burning, directed by Jennie Livingston. These discussions help us to critically think and analyze the ways in which individuals within the film experience varying levels of not only oppression but privilege based on their intersectional identities. We further explore how these differences impact not only ball culture, voguing, and drag brunches, but many other varied aspects of daily life. Our conversations have led us to a deeper understanding of how the knowledge and open willingness to learn about these differences can promote forward chan

Episode 2: When and Why Might We Dis-identify?
Hi! Thank you for taking an interest in this episode’s discussion on queer dis-identification. Our names are Shanelle, Lesley, Alejandra, and Caitlin. Our different backgrounds and majors give us various lenses on the process of understanding our identities. We analyze how authors and artists challenge labels, such as mixed-race, disabled, and Afro-Latina lesbian, to critically think about identity definers, assimilation, counter identification, as well as invisibility. Our conversation is just one step toward identifying with and embodying our truths.
*We do not claim anything as our own in regards to the works from the mentioned authors, artists, celebrities, and televised media.*

Episode 1: What is Queer about the X in Latinx?
Hi! Welcome to the first episode of Queer and Trans Latinidad. This is a short-form podcast about racialized sexuality, delving into topics that we're addressing in our seminar class and adapting our course discussions for a larger audience. We hope you'll join us in a series of conversations about the ways queer and trans theory and politics can help us rethink our engagements with contemporary culture, current events, and our understandings of the relationships between race, gender, and sexuality. Our first podcast is an intro to the term Latinx as a queer and trans political intervention, and a reminder of the radical potentials of the X if we prevent it from being co-opted into a multicultural politics of inclusivity.
