The Illegal Trans Woman – Ep. 95: Finding Resilience and Allyship in a Heavy News Cycle
This week is an Ellie talking head show! I address the “firehose of bad news” weighing on our community, taking a moment to honor the incredible grit and resilience of transgender folks navigating this current landscape. I then shift to some uplifting news, highlighting a powerful act of allyship from WNBA Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve, who recently wore a “Trans Kids Belong” shirt and took a bold public stand for trans youth. Later, I dive into Chris Geidner’s crucial reporting on the Law Dork blog, dissecting a deeply disturbing effort by the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Prisons to deny gender-affirming care to federal inmates and erase trans existence within the legal system. Finally, I wrap up the episode with an update on a rural Minnesota school district getting sued over a rainbow ban, and remind you that I will never stop fighting for you.
