The CIA stooge accusation has always felt low. One could hear the desperation of radicals to retake their movement from Steinemites even back then, in '75, just like now. Anyway, here is an interview I found today with Kathie Sarachild avplayer.lib.berkeley.edu/Pacifica/b23...

Back in April 2000, I had barely started my transition. I was just starting to go out in public. I got drawn into an on-the-street interview for a local talk show, made by trans people for trans people. That's when my landlord (who didn't know I was trans) showed up! buttondown.com/charliejane/...

perhaps the greatest thing about U.S. democracy is that if enough average citizens like you or me rise up and say "no" to something like funding an industrial-scale genocide abroad, our fury will help cultivate minor to moderate changes in foreign policy ten through twenty years later
