With abortion rights for all gone, here is trans-affirming content and resources in one place.
Transcript for Episode 55 of the TransLash Podcast with Imara Jones, ‘Trans Reproductive Justice on the Ballot’.
“Right-wing candidates continue to campaign on disrupting gender affirming healthcare for youth, which could have grave consequences for all peoples’ access to healthcare.
In short: bodily autonomy is on the ballot in 2022.”
“I was a closeted trans girl doing what I could to hide that fact from everyone, including myself. Since leaving high school, I had curated a personality to throw anyone off the scent of me being queer. These were my beards.”
“Too often, fat/trans/Black folks are taught to ignore our natural instincts—for food, water, a bathroom break, or a nap—because something else is ‘more important.'”
“For the first time ever in my professional life, I felt like I could exhale a breath I hadn’t realized I’d been holding.”
“While the misogynistic and sexually charged comments were uncomfortable, there was something oddly thrilling about the transphobic ones…these complete strangers had called my bluff. It felt electric.”
“It’s important to understand that the opponents of choice and the opponents of queer and trans rights are the same people, and they recognize that they’re on the same team, even if you don’t.”
Imara Jones was invited to be a guest speaker at the Transgender Day of Visibility Rally at the Texas Capitol’s south steps on April 2, 2022.
