The Illegal Trans Woman – Ep. 90: Standing Up for Ace Rios and Electing Queer Leaders
This week’s Big Story is a tough look at a recent loss for our community in conservative Iowa. I break down how a small-town school board bowed to transphobic pressure and rejected the contract of Ace Rios, a highly qualified transgender band director. The Big Interview features Ken Mejia-Beal from the LGBTQ+ Victory Fund. We discuss the vital work of getting queer candidates elected to public office and why local representation matters. In Random Acts, I reflect on my 4,600-mile cross-country road trip and share a hopeful realization about experiencing zero transphobia along the way.
