Attacks on transgender individuals in our country have been rampant in recent years due to change in our political systems and environments. The issue has stemmed from debates over controversial policies related to transgender individuals in classrooms, bathrooms and sports teams. Not everyone sees eye-to-eye on this topic, including Dr. sj Miller, a Santa Fe-based educator, activist and now author. sj joins the latest episode of “Conversations Different” to discuss with host Inez Russell Gomez the various challenges that educators are facing in navigating anti-transgender laws implemented by various states. sj also discusses what impact new laws are having in schools and on children. A new book by sj, We Refuse to Disappear: Resistance Amid Anti-Trans Education Policy, examines some those laws and provides a helpful roadmap for conversations around gender identity. Throughout the episode, Inez and sj delve into the book’s themes and what readers can expect when it launches this year ahead of the midterm elections.
