2025-04-02 - Visibility and Remembering

Jonny and Heather are joined by Craig as we record this episode on
Trans Day of Visibility. We discuss visibility, the good and the
bad kind, as Craig conemplates the consequences of the Trump Admin
challenging California's laws aganst teachers mandated to report
any and all gender variance in students t their parents. The
consequences of related grade school traumas stay with us our
entire lives. We also lean into fighting deliberate efforts at
trans erasure. In the back half of the show, Jonny shares exerptes
from oral histories that are (and are not) part of the upcoming
installation in the Sharp Museum on the SIU Campus, "Queer
Stories/Queer Spaces: Histories and Queertographies." He shares
particularly oral histories about the local LGBTQ+ swimming hole,
The Pit.
