24. Trans joy is an act of resistance with guests Evan Minton and Rainer Apostol

Blueprint for California Advocates

Today begins Transgender Week of Visibility and to celebrate I am sharing this special episode with guests Evan Minton and Rainer Apostol. Evan (he/they) is a nationally recognized transgender advocate whose fight for gender-affirming healthcare reached the U.S. Supreme Court. He is a national co-Chair of the Transgender Advisory Committee of the Democratic National Committee and also serves as co-Chair of the Lt. Governor’s Transgender Advisory Council. Rainer (they/them) is a legislative aide in the California Senate with a passion for advocating for LGBTQ+ communities. They served last year as the Fellows Liaison on the LGBTQ Staff Association Board. Transgender Visibility is more important than ever as 420 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have been introduced so far this year in state legislatures across the nation. This is a record number, many particularly targeting transgender youth. To learn more about Transgender Visibility and how you can celebrate, check out this toolkit. You can download graphics and messaging to use on social media and more.
