Hey everyone! Ryan Leckey here, welcoming you to a new episode of The Ryan Leckey Show. Today, I'm joined by a truly inspirational figure, Daye Pope, a gender justice advocate and a beacon of hope for the LGBTQ community. Daye's story is one of courage and resilience.
In this episode, Daye shares her journey of transitioning, the reactions from her family and the broader community. We delve deep into her experiences, discussing the challenges and triumphs that have marked her path as a transgender woman. Daye's insights are not only personal but also reflect the broader societal shifts and struggles within the LGBTQ community.
We tackle some of the most pressing issues facing LGBTQ youth today, including the distressing wave of attacks on their rights and identities. From book censorship to bans on participation in sports and healthcare access, the conversation highlights the urgency of these matters. Daye, with her extensive experience as Director of Civic Engagement at TAKE and cofounder of the Pennsylvania Coalition for Trans Youth, offers a unique perspective on these battles.
Daye helps us navigate and debunk the harmful narratives and misinformation about LGBTQ youth. We confront head-on the damaging narratives and the misconceptions surrounding trans youth healthcare.
Join us in this enlightening conversation with Daye Pope, as we explore the realities, challenges, and the hope that continues to drive the fight for equality and justice.
