In this trans-specific Pride episode, we talk to Kathie Moehlig, with Trans Family Support Services, about the recent controversy in Clovis, where AB Hernandez, a 16-year-old trans student, competed in the CIF competition. Then we have a fascinating talk with Gray Byrd, an 18-year-old trans student in North Carolina who was told his trans positive valedictorian speech was “too political” to be accepted.
Plus, Kaylia and Chris go over some trans statistics and talk about efforts by the President of the United States to ban trans students from school sports. Enjoy!

On this episode, we talk with Shai Chang, Fresno Trans/Queer Community Organizer, for Hmong Innovating Politics (HIP) and Queer Hmong Intersectional Pride (QHIP). We discuss the power of organizing, the excitement of the radicalized youth, and the awesome work these organizations are doing as they fight for justice and equality for the Hmong community in queer politics and spaces.
