This week, The Illegal Trans Woman celebrates a major milestone as we officially expand our reach to the humans of Chicago on WCPT 820 AM. For our Big Interview, I sit down with Asheville journalist David Forbes to discuss a truly eye-opening report on the Catholic Church’s quiet grip on the American healthcare system. We explore how these religious institutions, which control up to 40% of hospital beds in some states, have implemented a draconian, total ban on gender-affirming care for both youth and adults. In News Bites, I break down a concerning US Supreme Court ruling regarding Colorado’s conversion therapy ban that could have chilling national implications for the safety of our youth. Finally, in Random Acts, I share stories from my recent speaking tour through Fargo and Iowa, reminding us that even in the “purple” counties, the hunger for compassion and “Gray Area Thinking” is stronger than ever.

We’re back with Bill Gray, a nonprofit relations veteran with the Homeownership Center. This week, we’re continuing the conversation from Part 1. We left off talking about how to understand where you may fall on the spectrum of homeownership readiness, aka the “funnel” (and if you missed it, be sure to check out the previous episode). The Homeownership Center offers programs designed to help anyone figure out what steps might help them get to homeownership! Because the good news is, there are more options available than we realize. Whether you’re a current homeowner, a future homeowner, or someone just beginning to explore what homeownership could look like for you, tune in now to learn the process! From getting started to navigating the buying process, to support after (like refinancing or foreclosure prevention), this conversation is full of valuable insights.
