About this listen
But the issue hits even closer to home for JoJo, who is a proud Black trans woman living in Houston, Texas. She delves into the specific and distressing directives from Governor Greg Abbott, from the classification of gender-affirming care as "child abuse" to the refusal to update gender markers on state IDs. She explores how these state-level actions, in coordination with federal ones, create a daily climate of fear and uncertainty.
JoJo also tackles the divisive "sports" and "bathroom" issues head-on, exposing how these topics are used as political weapons to create fear and justify discrimination. She shares her perspective as a woman who believes in protecting women and children, but argues that the current narrative is a smokescreen designed to dehumanize and marginalize the trans community.
Finally, she looks to the future with a mix of defiance and determination, discussing the looming threat to gender-affirming care access in 2026. This episode is a raw, emotional, and unapologetic call to action and a beacon of hope, reminding listeners that in the face of relentless opposition, our existence is our resistance.
