Please join us for Transpositive on KBOO Community Radio on Tuesday, August 20th as we talk with M about growing up transgender in Morocco.  M shares with us her stories of being pelted with rocks for being transgender, her concerns about living in a country where you can be jailed for up to 12 years for being queer, and the various expressions of trauma that are a result of these experiences.  She also shares with us the stories she received of being affirmed and nurtured by her mother and grandmother who supported her gender expression and she talks about her hopes for the future including being able to legally transition in a western country and work as a nurse.

Transpositive is a biweekly program in Portland exploring themes important to those who identify as Transgender, Gender Non-Binary, and Gender Non-Conforming. Transpositive tries to connect listeners with the ongoing activism, arts, culture, and dialogue happening in Portland and beyond. Make your voice heard! Transpositive PDX is open to new and experienced programmers, guests, and events you want our community to know about. We are an open collective. Anyone who identifies as trans, gender non-binary, or gender fluid is welcome to be part of our collective after completing some basic free radio training.
