The Illegal Trans Woman – Ep. 2: Anti-Trans NDAA, Ryan Berg on Queer Youth Housing, Acts of Hope

In this week’s show, we cover how 81 Democrats—Including MN’s Dean Phillips—voted along with House Republicans to pass the National Defense Authorization Act (e.g., the U.S. Defense budget), which included a provision that prohibits TRICARE, the medical provider for service member family members, from offering gender affirming care to trans youth. This defection of support/loss of allyship for trans humans is a harbinger of things to come…The Big Interview is with Ryan Berg, who talks about ConneQT, a host home program for at risk queer youth ages 16 to 24. This week’s Random Acts is about a group of women outside Pittsburgh who put together a GoFundMe to replace an anti-trans electronic billboard message with one of hope and unity.
