Thanks to OutSmart Magazine for their coverage (http://bit.ly/47mXcVm) of this year's Katy Pride celebration.
Here's their shot of Trans Trans Truth co-hosts Aunt Kelly and Jeri Ann, interviewing trans activist Meghan Fairbanks. That interview, and all the other from Katy Pride are currently in post-production and should go live soon.

What a fantastically successful Katy Pride celebration yesterday! Despite the contracted venue kicking the celebration out with less than three days notice, the Katy Pride organizers, with the help of Harris County Precinct Four Commissioner Briones, pulled together and delivered an incredible celebration.
We were there, with our remote studio, of course, and recorded a BUNCH of wonderful conversations. We'll be mixing it down this week and will probably publish as a two-part episode soon.

Important News, y'all!
This Saturday's Katy Pride celebration IS STILL ON!
After the contracted venue, the Typhoon Texas water park, pulled their support on VERY short notice, Trans Truth is pleased to share that the event's organizers have secured another venue!

Katy Pride 2025 will be held at the Bear Creek Rodeo Arena. The venue is just off Hwy 6, in the SW corner of Bear Creek Pioneers Park. Here's a link to a map of the place -https://www.hgs.org/sites/default/files/bear_creek%20Map_0.pdf

Yes, we have some thoughts on the actions of the original venue, our standard warning always being in effect; "Oh... LOTS of opinion, honey, but for now, we're just delighted to be a part of the celebration. Jeri Ann and I will be presenting our "Ambassadorship" talk in a town hall setting, and of course, the Trans Truth remote studio will be available for anyone who wants to "have words with us".

Now, my co-host, Jeri Ann is the serious angler, but even a dilettante like me knows that when "they ain't bitin'", you try a different bait or lure. Plain glazed donuts might work on the East Side, but downtown, something like sprinkles or jelly-filled will usually produce a lot more action.

So we've all heard, by now, about the U.S. government using it's authority to coerce ABC to cancel Jimmie Kimmel because he Trump's tender feelings. The government wants us to believe that it was "a business decision". Very well. So stipulated. Now it's time for us, ALL OF US, to show them this was a bad business decision.
Below is a list of ABC's biggest sponsors, and a suggested template to use in your emails, Facebook posts, and postcards. Yes, snail mail is far more effective than any electronic medium.
This may well be a tipping point for our democracy. If enough of us take this simple action, we CAN turn the tide.

First of all cancel your subscriptions to Disney+ and Hulu. Let them know why you are doing this.

Contact these companies and let them know they will no longer receive your patronage.

Allstate
Target
Iphone
Showtime
Progressive
Versace
Bose

Use this template for your communications.

Greetings,

As I am certain that you are aware, the ABC television network has suspended their late night talk show host, Jimmy Kimmel, after pressure from the federal government.

As a major advertiser on ABC, you are now complicit in this drastic overreach by our government. I urge you to take a stand against this shocking abuse of power and, more to the point, ABC's abject failure to take a stand for our First Amendment rights. You are hereby notified that until you do so, publicly, I will not be buying any product or service that your company produces or delivers, and I am urging everyone I know to do the same.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Woohoo!

Trans Truth · Episode

20/07/2025

So... I've been tossing around an idea for the podcast, and I believe y'all can help. But first, let me provide some background...
For years my co-host and I have bemoaned the flood of disinformation about trans people, and of course, countering that is why we started the podcast in the first place. We firmly believe that "ambassadorship" (see Episode 4) is key to countering all that ignorance and disinformation. And we believe that for one simple reason - Most people, by far, do not know a trans person, or at the very least, don't KNOW that they know a trans person.
To that vast majority, we are an unknown, and for many, it's easy to be afraid of the unknown. The right, of course, is exploiting that for all they're worth.
So I've started brainstorming for ways that we might change the playing field a bit. We know that "ambassadorship" makes a huge difference, enabling people who know nothing about transgender people, and who may have been on the receiving end of the right's fear mongering campaign, to actually GET to know us, to put a human face on something that they, at best, only know ABOUT. We're thinking that we need to find more ways to help all those people to actually come to know US, not just about us.
To that end, we're soliciting your input. Yes, we've had several "my story" episodes, but here we're looking for something to fill that "knowledge gap" that most people have when it comes to understanding what it's like to be us, to deal with gender dysphoria. The haters are trying to fill that gap with scary nonsense, so let's counter that with frank and honest information about what it's ACTUALLY like to have gender dysphoria. Since the experiences of each of us are unique, we want you to share YOURS with our listeners, because those experiences are also going to have things in common, not the least of which are pain and suffering. It's one thing to hear "experts" talk about gender dysphoria in clinical terms, about su***de rates, etc. It's quite another to hear A PERSON talk about their personal experience, to put that "human face" on the subject.
So please, give this some thought, and let us know what you come up with. We'd be delighted to have you share those thoughts with our listeners "on the air", but if you're not comfortable with that, we'd be happy to tell your story for you. But please, please, PLEASE... share those experiences with us.

Thank you so much. :)
