Later in the show, Ez sits down with Sera (they/any), founder of Evolution Electrolysis, for an in-depth conversation about permanent hair removal and its place in gender-affirming care. Together they unpack what electrolysis actually is, how it differs from laser hair removal, and why it's often considered the gold standard for permanent hair removal. The discussion explores common myths, surgery preparation, informed consent, trauma-informed practice, and the unique role electrolysis can play in the lives of trans and gender-diverse people. Sera also shares insights from their background in science and medical research, offering practical advice for anyone considering treatment and advocating for more inclusive approaches to healthcare.

From understanding why trans people have become targets in political distraction campaigns, to exploring how “last‑stage” capitalism fuels instability and how fascism exploits that chaos, this episode offers a guide to making sense of the moment we’re living through. Drawing inspiration from The Triploi Podcast and David Pakman’s The Echo Machine, we unpack complex ideas, trace the roots of inequality, and highlight the power of solidarity, unionising, and collective care. Ultimately, this is a hopeful conversation about why revolution is inevitable, why community is the antidote, and how we can build a new world together. 

Ez also discusses the week in community news, MELT festival events - including Tranzmission Live: The Antidote, the importance of community radio plus a bunch of interesting stats from the CBAA, as well as recapping T.I.T. Together In Transition Event from July where Tranzmission raised over $2000 for Project 491.
