We are pretty cute though š š
From sneaking into national conferences to fighting for trans liberation in rural Idaho, Bonnie Violet and Pacey break down what it means to resist, speak truth, and survive when your existence is political. This episode isnāt cuteāitās critical.
What happens when national LGBTQ2SIA+ leaders underestimate rural resistance? When World Pride gets shut down by police but queers keep dancing in the streets? When you're told your life isnāt under threat, even as laws strip your rights away?
In this raw and urgent episode of Trans Joy Boise, hosts Bonnie Violet and Pacey share personal reflections from Washington, D.C., where Idahoās trans activists were both underestimated and spotlighted at the Human Rights Conference. From affirming moments with icons like Raquel Willis to the deep vulnerability of being dismissed by those in power, we explore what itās like to be trans in the trenchesāespecially in so-called "flyover" states.
Youāll hear:
This is a love letter to those doing the work without credit or comfortāand a call-out to those still stuck in rainbow-washed apathy.
āØ Whether youāre on the streets, in the pews, or behind the micāthis episode is for you. Because weāre not here for cute anymore. Weāre here for power.
