Everything happening around the world right now is a timely reminder that Pride began as a protest, and now more than ever, we need to put the protest back into Pride.
In this special episode, we sat down with Jodie Hall, a proud Wakka Wakka trans woman and Digital Campaigner for the Trans Justice Project.
From white feminism to toxic masculinity, we talk about why trans folks continue to be viciously targeted and how that keeps the capitalist patriarchy in check. Jodie shares more about the importance of creating educational spaces to challenge the growing misinformation about trans communities. We also unpacked the issues with siloed progressive spaces, especially within white queer circles, while questioning whether being represented in mainstream feminism is something worth fighting for.
In addition to her work with the Trans Justice Project, Jodie Hall is dedicated to freedom and equality for all. She’s passionate about the power of communication and connection to build empathy and solidarity. Jodie is closely involved in the campaign to reinstate gender affirming care for young people in Queensland.

Hosted by Nidhi Kalaiya, a Kenyan-Gujarati living on Turrbal and Yugerra Country. Not Your Token Hire is space for real, unfiltered conversations about our experiences in the workplace and beyond. From the load of existing in mostly white spaces to questioning if a seat at the table is worth it in this capitalist hellscape. And whether we can truly decolonise the workplace!
