The headlines are real. Families are leaving. Some trans folx no longer feel safe in Idaho.

So why are others choosing to stay?

In this deeply personal conversation, the hosts of the Trans Joy Boise Podcast unpack the emotional impact of anti-trans legislation, the realities of living under Idaho's bathroom ban, and the importance of building community during difficult times.

This episode is about surviving, supporting one another, and remembering that joy itself can be an act of resistance.

Plus—we officially announce the 3rd Annual Trans March Boise and reveal this year's theme: Still Here.

Whether you're trans, non-binary, an ally, or someone trying to better understand this moment, this conversation is an invitation to choose connection over isolation—and joy over fear.

✨ In this episode:

  •  Living through Idaho's bathroom ban 
  •  Why some trans folx are leaving—and why others stay 
  •  How allies can make everyday spaces safer 
  •  Mental health, community, and checking in on each other
