The Illegal Trans Woman – Ep. 70: Expanding to Chicago & Catholic Gender Affirming Care Ban
This week, The Illegal Trans Woman celebrates a major milestone as we officially expand our reach to the humans of Chicago on WCPT 820 AM. For our Big Interview, I sit down with Asheville journalist David Forbes to discuss a truly eye-opening report on the Catholic Church’s quiet grip on the American healthcare system. We explore how these religious institutions, which control up to 40% of hospital beds in some states, have implemented a draconian, total ban on gender-affirming care for both youth and adults. In News Bites, I break down a concerning US Supreme Court ruling regarding Colorado’s conversion therapy ban that could have chilling national implications for the safety of our youth. Finally, in Random Acts, I share stories from my recent speaking tour through Fargo and Iowa, reminding us that even in the “purple” counties, the hunger for compassion and “Gray Area Thinking” is stronger than ever.
