Episode #8: Isa Noyola On Being a Transgender Latina Activist and the Precarious Lives of Trans Migrants

Isa Noyola is a well known and respected translatina activist and trans leader in the US. She talks about her work to end ICE detention of trans migrants, what it's like to come out as trans when you're a first generation Mexican American pastor's kid and how none of us is free until all of us are free.    Betsy & Isa talk about being free to express the feminine in a patriarchal world, the strong values and community organising experience their religious backgrounds gave them both and reasons to be optimistic, even in (and especially in) difficult times.    You can find out more about Isa's organisation, Mijente, here: https://mijente.com  You can support me on Patreon at www.patreon.com/TheDiscomfortPractice  Follow me on Instagram at www.instagram.com/thebetsyreed
