mk: Hello and welcome to The Child and Its Enemies, a podcast about queer and neurodivergent kids living out anarchy and youth liberation here at the Child and its enemies. We believe that youth autonomy is not only crucial to queer and trans liberation, but to anarchy itself. Governance is inherently based on projecting linear narratives of time and development and gender onto our necessarily asynchronous and atemporal. Queer lives and youth and teams are at the center of this form of oppression. Our goal with the podcast is to create a space by and for youth that challenges all forms of cont
With me today is Tsela Barr, an organizer with the Madison, Wisconsin chapter of Jewish Voice for Peace. Tsela: Thanks for having me on your podcast. I guess I’ll start with my, my background and how I came to my activism. I’ve been a Palestine solidarity activist since the mid eighties, so since roughly my early twenties I was raised in a pretty typical Jewish household in the DC area. And I went to services regularly at a synagogue. And my parents put me and my siblings in a Hebrew school...

"I could not even pretend to be neurotypical if I tried. So the neurodivergent community is very important to me. My fellow neurodivergents are my kin and my comrades, and we live anarchy day in and day out, even if we don't realize it. I think most of us would have a harder time trying to shove ourselves into capitalistic, neurotypical boxes than to let ourselves be free, if we all thought about it and did the work necessary to liberate ourselves and each other."

Lola Bloom on being trans online: "I think the space I aim to create would pave the way for trans kids to do similar work in an environment that isn't so hostile or alienating. I also think that giving people a space to exist and to be authentically themselves while they share skills and grow is integral to helping our community heal. It's incredibly difficult to transition and providing people the encouragement and resources they need is always my biggest success." Lola's Discord: https://discord.gg/aDMWFZMtz2
Vicky Osterweil's book, as she puts it, seeks to answer two questions: "why are all superhero movies the same?" and "why did Disney lobby the Biden administration to stop them sharing the COVID vaccine with the third world in 2021?"

On this podcast, we talk about media, trans health, and (yas) our childhoods projecting transness onto various Disney characters.

"We were organizing and enacting mutual aid without having the words to call it that. Again, I credit my parents. They were hella organizers. Their tentacles reached way beyond our backwoods area. Without the internet. So I actually did know at an early age that resistance was not only possible but necessary. When the school told us asinine things like girls can't wear pants or salute the flag or there are different rules for poor and less poor; for different colors, when we figured out that our local volunteer fire dept. was the KKK, I knew what to do.

Isabelle and mk discuss Chosen Few Software—the trans-anarchist tech company run by entirely youth and teens—as well as liberatory education, trans identity, and why, in Isabelle's words..."anarchy is the purest form of decentralized control. In my mind, its the ideal way to organize a massive network, whether that network is made out of computers or people, it makes little difference to me. The reality is that the computers we build are just as fallable as us. They just tend to do more and more of our thinking for us, as they become more powerful and reliable. I think its an important part of
