This episode features sections of our interview with Elliot Wade. Elliot is a Black binary trans-masc man and uses he/him pronouns, and this interview is part of a special series devoted to documenting the struggle against a wave of anti-trans bills in the 2021 legislative session.
Here in Louisiana, and over 20 states across the country, we saw multiple anti-trans bills introduced in the state senate and house. Unlike many other states, however, we also saw a strong and coordinated resistance to these bills. Because of this resistance, every single bill failed.

By way of both introduction and context I’ll say just a few things here, Camilla is a trans woman and uses she/her pronouns who works to uplift her community in a number of ways. We’ll also hear mention of Metairie, which is a part of the greater New Orleans area in Jefferson Parish, just outside the city. Camilla also talks about her job with Crescent Care, which is a health care center in New Orleans with a long history of focusing on LGBTQ+ communities. You can learn more about them on their website
