Sandy Stone talks about working with the lesbian separatists of Olivia Records, why the attacks on the trans community today mirror the attacks from the 1970s, and the moment that led her to write "The Empire Strikes Back: A Posttranssexual Manifesto"—an essay that became a founding document of trans studies.
You can learn more about Girl Island, the documentary that's in the works about Sandy's life here: girlislandfilm.com
The song that you hear in the interview from Olivia Records is "Sweet Woman" by Cris Williamson.
