The Illegal Trans Woman – Ep. 87: Building Rural Pride and Transgender Athletes in the WNBA
To start this week’s show I am joined by Dylan Comney, founder of the Ottawa, Illinois Family Pride Festival and the Humankind Initiative, to discuss their incredible work creating safe spaces and year-round programming for the local LGBTQ+ community. We also delve into the importance of visible allyship and Dylan’s courageous upcoming run for city council. Later, I tackle the big story surrounding trans athletes in the WNBA, examining the exclusionary comments from the Indiana Fever’s Sophie Cunningham and the inspiring pro-trans pushback from Seattle Storm fans and Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve. Finally, I wrap up the episode by sharing a few quick news bites, including the massive 150,000-person march for trans rights in London.
