In this episode, we sit down with Blake Hunter (they/them), a non-binary journalist and writer in Boise, to talk about what it means to be visibly trans in Idaho. From writing the Hey Boise newsletter for City Cast Boise to founding a local literary press, Blake shares their journey of storytelling, activism, and survival. We dive into the importance of trans visibility, the power of being known beyond representation, and the burnout that comes from constant advocacy.
Plus, we get real about navigating anger, finding joy in community, and what it means to take up space in a world that often wants us invisible. If you’re trans, questioning, or an ally looking to understand more about the realities of trans life in conservative spaces, this episode is for you.
