ALLT - S02E16: Toxic Inclusivity & Glory Hole Tea Room History
Episode 33
Wednesday, 14 January, 2026
Is Toxic Inclusivity really a thing? Or is it just more "pick me" fodder? Lenny and Mardi go deep into the fear sweeping the trans community triggered by some current viral events caught on tape at several Planet Fitness locations. Digging into LGBT history they discuss how being marginalized has left us to connect in unsafe places. Has this suppression by society continued to stunt us in acting out inappropriately? Community support, mental health, the need for open dialogue and understanding, and the complexities of navigating gender identity in today's society has always been lacking. We are community that has just began to heal. And sometimes it really shows by the way we interact with each other. It's time for some group therapy kittens!!! We also highlight Raquel Willis' expertly hosted and wonderfully produced documentary podcast 'Afterlives' on Marsha P. Johnson.
