In this episode of the Parent Advocate podcast, join hosts Lizette Trujillo and Stephen Chukumba as they interview Emeritus member of the Parents for Transgender Equality Council, adjunct professor of Gender and Sexuality Studies andEthnic Studies, Dr. Priya J. Shah. We get down to the history of bathroom and swimming pool bans, successful examples of coalition building, and centering trans kids in movement building. In today's topics, we discuss the Owasso High School walkout, Indiana's ban on gender affirming care, Mississippi's ironically titled Dignity and Safety for Incarcerated Woman Act, and the successful hate crimes conviction of the killer of Dime Doe. In Allies & Assholes, we celebrate U.S. Senator Laphonsa Butler of California for reading banned books in the record, and drag Oklahoma Republican State Senator Tom Woods for referring to trans youth as filth in the wake of the death of Nex Benedict.
