Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Kaeley Triller
Q: When you started reaching out to other women after you were fired, what did that network look like and how did you grow it?
I connected with other women who had faced similar experiences, formed a coalition to publish opinions through conservative outlets, and hosted events with powerhouse women to frame the issue publicly and build momentum.
Kaeley Triller
Q: Kaeley, where can we see that video of Tacoma?
You can find it on YouTube under 'Women Speak Out, Press Conference, Tacoma' uploaded by groups like Faith Uprising, and it shows the panel and the hostile reception we faced.
Emily & Gaia
Q: What was it like telling your mom and how did she respond to your coming out?
My mom listened with openness but set clear boundaries; she supported exploration like changing clothes and pronouns while avoiding immediate medical interventions, which helped me feel safe and understood.
Emily & Gaia
Q: So, Emily, when did you first come across the idea that you might be transgender or explore gender identity?
I started noticing it around middle school after seeing videos online that glorified being yourself and the idea of switching genders, which helped me feel less misunderstood and more curious about who I could be.
