Today on Trans Joy Boise, we welcome Asher, a trans local in Idaho whose viral TikTok post about wanting to flee the state with his pregnant wife caught our attention. From growing up in Washington to finding himself stuck in a small, conservative Idaho town, Asher shares the real-life struggles of trying to survive — and eventually escape — a place that feels increasingly unsafe for trans folks.

We dive into:
🏳️‍⚧️ Trans life in small-town Idaho
🔴 The rising boldness of anti-trans hostility
💼 The near impossibility of finding employment as a trans person
🏡 What it feels like to plan your escape from your home
🏳️‍🌈 Experiencing joy, safety, and community elsewhere — and dreaming of more

This isn’t just Asher’s story — it’s the story of thousands of trans people who are isolated, unseen, and unsupported in red states across the U.S.

📣 Let's get loud about trans joy, trans safety, and the right to thrive.

👉 If you're trans and trying to hold it together in a hostile environment, this episode is for you.
