  Trans Care in the Age of Health Fascism (DP x S26) 17.09.2026 42min

  To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod This is the second recording in a series of sessions we organized at this year's Socialism Conference. If you are looking for our response discussion to the right wing outrage over one of our other sessions, find it at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod/posts/169543050 Full session description: The struggle over trans healthcare is one of the clearest expressions of how medicine, incarceration, and borders are intertwined. As the US and Britain increasingly govern through prohibition, austerity, and criminalization, the reach of policing and punishment has rapidly expanded—both inside and outside the prison walls. Vicky Osterweil, S. Lamble, and Beatrice Adler-Bolton will discuss the carcerality of the anti-trans panic, its centrality to health fascism, and what abolition can teach us about defending care beyond the limits of the state. Speakers: Beatrice, Vicky Osterweil, Lamble Show links: We're testing out a new Bookshop.org page (still under construction), where you can find books by past guests and book recommendations from the hosts.

  To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod This is the first recording in a series of sessions we organized at this year's Socialism Conference. We're posting it ahead of our usual schedule as clips from this session have started circulating online and kicking off a round of discourse on health, health fascism and "fitness," and we wanted to make sure everyone has access to the full remarks. Full session description: As governments retreat from care, and health increasingly becomes a signifier of discipline—rather than provision—fitness, disability, fatness, illness, Blackness, impairment, and bodily capacity are mobilized into measures of moral worth and political belonging. This panel examines how health, disability, body size, and race are instrumentalized by the state and being reorganized under health fascism. Da’Shaun L. Harrison and Beatrice Adler-Bolton will discuss what these transformations reveal about the changing relationship between capitalism, the state, and everyday life. Speakers: Beatrice, Da'Shaun L.
