GRIID Interview with Ximón Kittok – Executive Director of the Grand Rapids Trans Foundation, about recent Anti-Trans policies

On Thursday, GRIID conducted an interview with Ximón Kittok, the Executive Director of the Grand Rapids Trans Foundation.

I encourage you all to visit their website to find out about all the good work they are doing, plus to watch my interview with Ximón. Here are the questions below that I asked, with a link to an anti-trans legislation tracker site.

GRIID – Before we talk about current events, I was wondering if you could share a little bit about the history of the Grand Rapids Trans Foundation and the work you all do in this community?

GRIID – It has been a few weeks since President Trump has issued Executive Orders that are fundamentally anti-Trans. Can you talk a bit about what this will mean for the trans community?

GRIID – It is also worth noting that after the Federal anti-Trans Executive Orders that Michigan has introduced legislation that to so degree mimics what the federal change will mean. How is the GR Trans Foundation reacting to this and are there groups in the state that are mobilizing to address these anti-Trans policies?

GRIID – How do these state and federal policies impact the lives of people in the Trans community?

GRIID – How can allies  and accomplices support your work and how can we be engaged in the fight against anti-Trans policies and all the harm directed at the Trans community?
