Here's a great representative for mental-health funding discussing how hard it is to find housing as a hypnotist/dominatrix/MMA fighter who is also transgender.
Here's another totally sane person responding to minor incidents of discrimination with the kind of decorum and level-headedness that has bought so much goodwill for the trans community.
Here's a great representative for mental-health funding discussing how hard it is to find housing as a hypnotist/dominatrix/MMA fighter who is also transgender.
Conquest says her housing options have been narrowed due to discrimination so many times she "stopped counting." "I actually had a couple [recent] housing situations that might have panned out, and then they found out that I was trans. And then they were like, 'Oh, never mind.'"
Soft-spoken and quick to laugh, the 27-year-old Conquest is a hypnotist, dominatrix and former mixed martial artist. When asked about her martial arts prowess, she challenged this reporter to spar at Pioneer Courthouse Square—an offer that was immediately declined.
"I'm sort of trying to avoid staying on the street because I don't feel like being raped or murdered," Conquest says, with a wan smile.
Here's another totally sane person responding to minor incidents of discrimination with the kind of decorum and level-headedness that has bought so much goodwill for the trans community.
At the Aug. 25 meeting, Zoe White, a transgender woman, accused two other Hazelnut Grove residents, Joe Bennie and Marvin Ross, of anti-trans discrimination. A loud argument ensued that derailed the proceedings.
Bennie and Ross yelled back at White, apparently accusing her of speaking out of turn. Bennie accused White of "pulling a gun" on someone at Hazelnut Grove.
"It was unloaded," White responded.
