Transpositive PDX – Tuesday, September 2nd at 6pm on KBOO 90.7FM

This week on Transpositive PDX we will be remembering Elisa Rae Shupe. Elisa was the first person in Oregon to legally obtain non-binary identity documents, a milestone that helped bring visibility to transgender and non-binary communities.

Elisa’s life was complex—she later detransitioned, became a social media influencer, and ultimately retransitioned before her passing by su***de. On this week’s program, we will talk aout Elisa’s legacy while also exploring the nuanced issues her story raises for our community.

Join hosts Emma, Sheila, Nicolette, and Jean for a respectful and thoughtful conversation about Elisa’s impact, the challenges she faced, and the broader significance of her life and advocacy.

Interview with WeShine and Paige LeBlanc this week on Transpositive

Transpositive PDX – Tuesday, June 17th at 6pm on KBOO 90.7FM and online at KBOO.FM

Join us this Tuesday at 6pm for a new episode of Transpositive PDX on KBOO Community Radio. On this week’s show, we’ll feature two powerful conversations highlighting community-driven solutions to houselessness and student-led trans advocacy.

In Part One, we speak with members of WeShine PDX, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing safe, transitional shelter in neighborhood-based micro-villages throughout the Portland metro area. Founded in 2021 by a group of grassroots neighborhood organizers, WeShine (Welcoming, Empowering, Safe Habitation Initiative with Neighborhood Engagement) builds and operates micro-villages that offer wraparound services, robust volunteer involvement, and pathways to permanent housing. Their core values of inclusion, dignity, and respect guide their work as they strive to reduce unmanaged encampments and support vulnerable, unsheltered adults. We'll hear about their current projects, including Parkrose Community Village and Avalon Village, and the vision for a citywide network of supportive communities.

In Part Two, we’re joined by Paige LeBlanc, founder of the Transgender Plus Student Union (TSU+) at Western Carolina University. TSU+ advocates for the rights and wellbeing of trans, nonbinary, Two Spirit, agender, genderq***r, and questioning students. Paige shares the mission behind the group and how it’s creating space for gender-diverse students to engage in community building, political action, and civic engagement — all while promoting a safe and inclusive campus environment.

ICE Detains Asylum Seeker at Portland Immigration Court
Attorneys file emergency petition on behalf of transgender asylum seeker

PORTLAND, Ore.–President Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency used deceptive and unethical practices Monday to strip a transgender asylum seeker of her due process rights, detaining her immediately after asking a judge to terminate her case in immigration court.

O-J-M (a pseudonym to protect her identity) was at a hearing for her asylum case in Portland when ICE’s lawyers sought a dismissal of her asylum case. After she left the courtroom, ICE agents arrested her in an attempt to end her asylum claim, transfer her, and rapidly deport her.

The 24-year-old sought asylum in the United States from Mexico after suffering violence on account of her gender identity and sexual orientation at the hands of a dangerous cartel. Fearing for her life, she fled and sought asylum in the United States in September 2023.

Attorneys with Innovation Law Lab filed an emergency habeas corpus petition on behalf of O-J-M, challenging ICE’s actions to unilaterally strip her of her ability to seek asylum in removal proceedings and attempt to rapidly remove her from the country.

“This is a dangerous attempt by ICE to circumvent due process, speed up deportations, and eviscerate the right to asylum,” said Innovation Law Lab Attorney Jordan Cunnings, who represents O-J-M. “This unethical behavior goes against the values we hold as Oregonians, ensuring that everyone is welcomed and included in our state.”

Immigration attorneys say the tactics mirror a troubling national trend. O-J-M had properly filed her asylum application, but ICE appears to be attempting to place her in expedited removal, a rapid deportation process with minimal protections.

“Courthouse arrests destroy the integrity of our legal system and undermine the rule of law,” said Cunnings. “We ask immigrants and refugees who are fleeing violence to abide by an asylum process. Detaining them for showing up to court is heartbreaking and harmful to our justice system.”

Her gender identity matters

O-J-M is a transgender woman who sought safety in Oregon, one of the most welcoming and inclusive places for transgender people in the country. Transgender people from across the country come to Oregon to be safe from violence and free to be themselves.

The Trump Administration has stated, via executive order, that transgender women will no longer be detained with other women, meaning that they will likely be held with male detainees, greatly endangering their safety.

“No one, including transgender women, should be incarcerated in unsafe detention facilities where their lives are at risk,” said Reyna Lopez on behalf of Oregon for All. “Transgender people are part of what makes our Oregon beautiful, and they deserve to be treated with dignity and respect just like every other Oregonian.”

Oregon for All is a coalition of 90+ organizations led by APANO, the ACLU of Oregon, Innovation Law Lab, Oregon Food Bank, Oregon Just Transition Alliance, SEIU, PIRC, PCUN, and Unite Oregon. The Coalition advances immigrant justice to build a more welcoming and prosperous state through education, research, organizing, and policy advocacy. Together, we foster thriving and resilient communities. For more information, visit Oregonforall.us.

Join us on Transpositive PDX this Tuesday, June 3rd at 6:00pm, as we kick off Pride Month with a powerful two-part program celebrating trans resilience, creativity, and advocacy on KBOO Community Radio.

In Part One, we speak with acclaimed playwright Mikki Gillette and performer Billie Jane Dawson about the world premiere of Tears and Glitter, part of the double-bill Glitter & Desire opening May 30th at Portland’s Backdoor Theatre. Set against the backdrop of a red state grappling with white nationalism and anti-trans legislation, Tears and Glitter follows a group of trans activists who organize and resist. Featuring an ensemble of eleven trans actors in trans roles, this new work from Salt & Sage Productions and director Asae Dean brings authenticity, urgency, and defiant joy to the stage.

In Part Two, we share the story of Ruthie and her 17-year-old transgender son Luke, who was recently denied a passport by the federal government — despite being a U.S. citizen — simply because he is trans. Ruthie and Luke open up about the emotional toll of this injustice and what it takes to raise and support a transgender teenager amid growing national hostility toward trans youth.

This week on Transpositive PDX, we are proud to welcome Sheryl Weikal, also known as The Leftist Lawyer—a brilliant and fearless trans trial attorney, author, and advocate for marginalized communities. Sheryl runs a “name-your-own-price” legal practice, representing people facing eviction, foreclosure, discrimination, and incarceration—often those most ignored by the legal system.

Sheryl is admitted to practice law in Illinois, multiple U.S. District Courts, and the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and has been admitted pro hac vice in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and California. A member of the National Association of Consumer Advocates, Sheryl also teaches continuing legal education (CLE) classes on Fair Housing and is known for combining legal expertise with radical compassion and justice-centered advocacy.

📚 Sheryl’s highly anticipated memoir, I Was an Abomination: A Story of Trans Survival in Conservative America, comes out next month. In it, she shares her powerful journey of growing up trans in a conservative, homeschooled family; surviving conversion therapy; fighting the state to become a lawyer; and ultimately discovering love, authenticity, and the strength to live as her true self. From crafting a doll of herself at age eight to show her parents who she was, to building a life of resistance and resilience, Sheryl’s story is a profound rebuttal to the dangerous myths pushed by public figures who deny the existence of trans children.

She is also the author of Circus Courts: How Racism and Greed Poisoned American Justice and What You Can Do About It, and her writing has appeared in Burn It Down, Chicago Magazine, Deadspin, Vox, Fangraphs, and more. She has written for the Illinois Institute of Continuing Legal Education and received accolades including a 2019 SABR Award for baseball journalism and a 2023 Clio Reisman Award finalist nod.

Sheryl graduated summa cm laude and valedictorian from McDaniel College in 2009, and from the Catholic University of America’s Columbus School of Law in 2012.

We are thrilled to invite you to join us for a special episode of Transpositive PDX, airing Tuesday, May 6, at 6:00 PM on KBOO Community Radio, 90.7FM (or streaming online at kboo.fm).

🌈 Introducing: Defiant Moments 🌈

Following the success of our recent anthology Defining Moments — Essential Q***r Stories, we are proud to bring you Defiant Moments — a collection of deeply personal, bold, and urgent stories that shine a light on the power of resilience and the necessity of resistance.

In Defining Moments, we explored narratives of courage, self-discovery, and navigating internalized homophobia and societal stigma. But as we enter a new, troubling chapter in our political landscape, Defiant Moments rises to meet the moment.

With federal cuts to education, science, and the arts — and with LGBTQ+ rights, reproductive freedom, immigrant rights, and racial equity under attack through efforts like Project 2025 — it is more critical than ever to raise up the voices that systems of power aim to silence.

This episode is a call to collective action and a celebration of q***r and trans defiance. Through intimate stories, we explore the generational threads of resistance that shape our community: the moments where we said no to erasure, yes to ourselves, and yes to each other.

Russell Alexander-Orozco • AleX Dean • Noah Grabeel • Heidi Bruins Green • Jamison Green • Eric Hojka • Kane Jesse Howard • Paul Iarrobino • Kyle Lang • John Lucia • Natasha Nunn • Brandy Penner • Stacey Rice • Scott Strickland • Eric Zimmerman

Please join us for Transpositive on KBOO Community Radio on Tuesday, April 15th as we talk with Lucy Sante, author of "I Heard Her Call My Name" (A Memoir of Transition). This powerful piece weaves together two timelines: the author's first six months of transition and the sweeping arc of her entire life. Told with brevity but rich in vivid digressions and a healthy dose of gusto, the narrative invites readers on a scenic and emotionally resonant journey. It’s the kind of story that might make you laugh, might make you cry—or maybe both. What sets it apart is not only the content but the voice: compelling, insistent, and deeply human. The author’s drive to be understood pulses through every sentence, not just as a personal compulsion, but as a recognition that their story reflects many others currently under threat. At its core, this is a story about what happens when someone delays a necessary transition—what it means to live a lie, and what it takes to survive once that lie unravels. Sante is an author, critic and an artist and is a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books.

Word is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives
Interview with Veronica Selver
This Week on Transpositive PDX
Tuesday, March 18th @ 6pm
KBOO 90.7 FM or online at kboo.fm

Please join us for Transpositive PDX this week for a rebroadcast of our International Women's Day show with Veronica Selver. Veronica Selver is an accomplished filmmaker known for her work in documentary filmmaking. Throughout her career, she has focused on exploring themes of identity, memory, and culture.

Selver's work often blends personal narratives with broader cultural and social issues, capturing the complexities of human experiences. She has been involved in various independent film projects and has contributed significantly to the field of documentary filmmaking, particularly with an emphasis on storytelling that brings attention to overlooked or marginalized perspectives.

We will be discussing the landmark 1977 film, "Word is Out."

"Word Is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives" is a 1977 documentary film produced by Peter Adair and directed by Nancy Adair, Andrew Brown, Lucy Massie Phenix, Rob Epstein, Peter Adair and Veronica Selver. The film is notable for being one of the first to openly address the lives and stories of gay individuals in the United States. It features interviews with 26 people from various backgrounds, exploring their personal experiences with sexuality, coming out, and their struggles and triumphs in a society that was often hostile to LGBTQ+ individuals.

The film's structure is unique in that it allows the subjects to speak for themselves in a straightforward, candid manner, offering a powerful insight into the lives of gay men and women during a time when their stories were rarely represented in mainstream media.

"Word Is Out" is considered an important historical and cultural document that helped pave the way for greater visibility and acceptance of LGBTQ+ individuals in film and society at large. It played a significant role in the gay rights movement by giving a voice to those who had been marginalized or silenced.
