The \"Are you OK?\" series addresses the current wave of anti-trans legislation by interviewing trans and gender nonconforming youth with their families all over the States. Jesse talks us through some of what it takes to work on such a project, including building trust with the local communities, families, and youth themselves. We also get into the steps to maintain his own safety, especially as his work has him road-tripping all over. We discuss how concepts like \"being an adult\" and age overall may be different for trans folks. Learn about how he decides what kind of life he wants for himself outside of the noise of any narratives our society can place upon us, including the boundaries he maintains. Jesse reflects on what the series would have meant for him as a young person and marvels at the access trans youth have to each other present day.🎙️ Connect with Jesse to learn more about + support his work:Jesse Freidin’s websiteAre You OK? | Series website; please financially support the project if you have the meansWhen Dogs Heal and Finding Shelter series websitesFacebook pageInstagramTwitter💻 Sources and resources from this episode:Nondiscrimination Laws - Housing | Movement Advancement ProjectWill LGBTQ+ Retirees End Up Back In The Closet? | ForbesLGBTQ+ seniors fear having to go back in closet for the care they need | The 19th*LGBTQ+ Aging stats and resources | SAGE USANational Honor an LGBTQ+ Elder Resource Guide | You can see other LGBTQ+ awareness and related event dates here; National Honor Our LGBT Elders Day is May 16th yearlyPFLAG’s glossaryLambda Legal’s Help DeskHousing Discrimination and Persons...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/RNtf2fZZTVNX9YpPMuxUNk8uqma8bpLoIHa1ovuz5IA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS85MjEx/NTNkNTk1YzdlOTYz/NmMwN2Y5OWNmMTA0/MDgwMS5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
