1 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Hey, this is Annie and Samantha and welcome to Steph. 2 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: I've never told your production off I Heart Radio, and 3 00:00:18,960 --> 00:00:22,280 Speaker 1: welcome to another edition of Women Around the World when 4 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: we just celebrate all the women doing all the amazing 5 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: things and we want to keep lifting them up because 6 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,720 Speaker 1: you know, they need their flowers and they should get 7 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: them while they're still with us. But before we start, 8 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: a I do have a pretty intense personal question and 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: just so you know, listeners, and I did ask her 10 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: before so that she was prepared let it and you know, 11 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: put her on the spot. I think the other people 12 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: are like, oh my god, why would you ask this? 13 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: It's you know, because we we love each other and 14 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: we love sharing with you all our listeners, our personal thoughts. 15 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: But for you, who has come out as queer, uh, 16 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: not so recently but recently, but definitely recently to some 17 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,280 Speaker 1: p what was the hardest part about coming out? I 18 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: think the hardest part for me because I identify, as 19 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: I have said, as like a sexual slash maybe gray 20 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 1: sexual by romantic, but I was I thought I was 21 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 1: queer from high school ish age and that it wasn't 22 00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: so hard in a lot of ways. You know, I 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: as an a sexual person, it was easy to like pass. 24 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 1: So I think for me coming out, I had a 25 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: lot of doubts about well, I didn't go through all 26 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,800 Speaker 1: these horrific things I've seen other queer people go through, 27 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 1: so I'm not queer enough. Um. And then I hate 28 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: to admit this, but I was almost embarrassed for people 29 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: who had dated me. Yeah it's terrible, like it's not 30 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,919 Speaker 1: a good that's not healthy in any way. But I 31 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: was embarrassed at what they would like tell their friends 32 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: about dating me. And then probably the other thing was 33 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 1: that no one would believe me, that they would dismiss it, 34 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: and they would say like essentially what we've seen, what 35 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: we've talked about in past episodes with a sexuality of 36 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: oh you just don't like sex, so like that fear 37 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: of being dismissed, being judged, being like looked down upon 38 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 1: and ostracized. Luckily, I've been fairly most of the people 39 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: I know have been really supportive. I've had a few 40 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: that haven't, but that was definitely it was hard, like 41 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,799 Speaker 1: the like telling of someone and then that moment where 42 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: they process it and me thinking, oh, they don't believe me, 43 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: or they think it's a phase or something like that 44 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: just dismiss it, right, And I know there's a lot 45 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: of conversation right now, especially in the US and around 46 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 1: the world, as the queer community feel like they're being 47 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: targeted and they are, I think specifically by morality police 48 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: as well as the right wing conservative political stances. But 49 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 1: I think it's really important that we keep talking about 50 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 1: that because you're you know what you went through, even 51 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: though it's very deeply personal for you, and it is 52 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,040 Speaker 1: individualistic like everybody goes through different things. You've had a 53 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 1: better reception from your community, which I love, which I 54 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,119 Speaker 1: hope you felt that way as part as being part 55 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,640 Speaker 1: of your community, But I know a lot of people 56 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: haven't always had that. Lots of family, a lot of homelessness, 57 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: a lot of that, And I think that's really important 58 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,640 Speaker 1: that we keep talking about it because even though it 59 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: might be a good reception seemingly, there's still a lot 60 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 1: of turmoil that people go through, as as you talked 61 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: about within your own self that whole like, how how 62 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: are my ex partners? I think that's legitimate. I don't 63 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 1: think we talked about that a lot. How it affects 64 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: you as much as it affects possibly those around you, 65 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: but affects you because that is one more thing added 66 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: to your level of so many emotions that you are 67 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: going through. And you know, we really want to keep 68 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: talking about the queer community at all points. This is 69 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: not something for for us, you know, being in an 70 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: intersectional conversation constantly, we want to make sure that that 71 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: is something that is always at the forefront of everybody's minds. 72 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 1: We don't want to ever come to a point that 73 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: we just do things because of a month or a day. 74 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 1: So just to put that out there, I know, I 75 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: think we've talked about this before. The same thing is like, yeah, 76 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 1: it's a women's history month, sure, but we talk about 77 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: women all the time and so nothing's really changed. Yeah, 78 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: we wish that more people could do that, so we 79 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 1: could go outside of this month and it would be 80 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: more of a regular thing that it doesn't have to 81 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: be highlighted. It would be a delight not to have 82 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: to do these things in order for any recognition to 83 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 1: be done. But that's a sidebar that I always like 84 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: to add in. But today we also wanted to talk 85 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,040 Speaker 1: about another queer woman who's doing some amazing things, and 86 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: that is a Bianca Rodriguez and Bianca. It's a Salvadorian 87 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: tra and activists who has been a leader in her 88 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 1: home and for the LGBTQ plus community. Born in nine 89 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: and Saint Salvador, Bianca has seen the continued violence and 90 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 1: discrimination around her. Though she was supported by her father 91 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 1: when she started to discover her true identity at the 92 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: age of five, it wasn't long lived. She lost her 93 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: father at the age of six, and unfortunately her mother 94 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,479 Speaker 1: was not so understanding and it was fairly abusive and 95 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,919 Speaker 1: unwilling to accept Bianca and forced her to leave to 96 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: go and live with her grandmother, who had quote, I 97 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: don't want this to come out as saying I'm saying this, 98 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: so this is quote, come to terms with who Bianca 99 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: was and accepted it. So she did have a little 100 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: bit of support, yes, and with her grandmother's support, Bianca 101 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: graduated high school and moved on to get her degree 102 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: in agro industrial engineering, but due to the targeted harassment 103 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: and bullying from the school, Bianca eventually dropped out and 104 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: she experienced many hardships outside of just school, and she 105 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: continued to try to find jobs and a way to 106 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 1: survive and support herself, but she also continued to be 107 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:07,480 Speaker 1: rejected due to her i D which mis gendered her. 108 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: As she has said, quote, we live in a situation 109 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,719 Speaker 1: in which society at large discriminates against us, and the 110 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: state discriminates against us. The only option left is to 111 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: try to survive in a country that denies as our 112 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: rights in Bianca adopted her new name and identity and 113 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: worked to do more, not only for herself but for 114 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: those who were in similar situations as she was. So. 115 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 1: In Human Rights Watch report, it was stated that the 116 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 1: South Vadorian government admitted that the l g B t 117 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 1: q I plus community quote face torture in human or 118 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,599 Speaker 1: degrading treatment, excessive use of force, illegal and arbitrary arrest, 119 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: and other forms of abuse, much of it committed by 120 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: public security agents, which forced many of the l g 121 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 1: B t q I plus community to flee from their home. 122 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,080 Speaker 1: Many of the queer community in El Salvador has been 123 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,280 Speaker 1: a target of violence, and the government has done very 124 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: little to help the community. Um In twenty twenty three, 125 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: police officers were found guilty in the killing of Camilla 126 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,520 Speaker 1: Diaz Cordova, a transgender woman who had been deported by 127 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: the u S, which is a whole other conversation we 128 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: need to get into UM and though the conviction was 129 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: a good sign that perhaps people would be held accountable, 130 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: there's so much more to be done UM as in fact, 131 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: they talked about the amount of violence that is happening 132 00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: and much of them being transgender community being targeted. Lgbt 133 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: q i plus community in El Salvador has not been protected, 134 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: as in fact, one presidential nominee UH previously had like 135 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 1: went all the way in kind of like some of 136 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: our political people right now and being anti lgbt Q 137 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 1: rights as well as really pushing to use harmful rhetoric 138 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 1: around that community. And Blanca again has seen violence of 139 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 1: this nature at firsthand, including being abducted and held at gunpoint, 140 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 1: but she's been able to make it out and has 141 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 1: become a fierce advocate to protect others from the constant 142 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: targeted violence and harassment. She said in an un article 143 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: quote in El Savador, my country, lgbt i Q plus 144 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: people are killed, beaten by gains, sexual abused, and persecuted. 145 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: Trans people face the most danger, but together we can 146 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,199 Speaker 1: change things. She began volunteering at Calm Cavis Trans, a 147 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: Salvadorian nonprofit that works for the rights of the l 148 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: g B d q I plus community and HIV positive people. 149 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: Under the leadership of Kayla Avalar, she became the communications manager, 150 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: and after Avalar was forced to flee, Bianca stepped in 151 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,600 Speaker 1: as the executive director of Calm Cavist Trans and I 152 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. And under her leadership, since then, 153 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 1: Bianca has been an advocate and leader for the trans 154 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: community and even named you in hc r's first trans 155 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 1: woman high profile supporter, allowing her to continue to speak 156 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,959 Speaker 1: up and advocate for her community and country. So right, 157 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,680 Speaker 1: and here's a bit of the history on com cavis. 158 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: And we're calling this com cavist. We don't know if 159 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: that's how it's said or it's supposed to be c 160 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 1: O M C A v I S. So sorry.

Amazing. So she does not have 199 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: a Wikipedia page, so if someone wants to take that on, 200 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: they really should, yes, and let us know because she's 201 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: doing some amazing work and she should be recognized as 202 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,719 Speaker 1: she stands firm um and trying to advocate for her 203 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,040 Speaker 1: people for herself and it's beautiful to see. Yeah, and 204 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: and going back to what you asked me at the top, 205 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: I guess another thing I would add is that it's hard. 206 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: I'll speak to my own experience, but if if so 207 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: many people or you're the messages you're getting are this 208 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 1: isn't right, this is wrong, this is sinful. And for me, 209 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: I tried to convince myself for a long time that 210 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 1: it was a phase and it will pass and I 211 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: can be quote normal and I can have this life 212 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 1: and that's what I should want. Um. So it is 213 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:29,080 Speaker 1: really hard to have all this messaging coming at you 214 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: and stand firm and be like, no, this is who 215 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: I am, and fight for yourself and for people in 216 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: your community, when again you just inundated with this messaging 217 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: that sell you to like be quiet and just go along. Yes, 218 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:50,000 Speaker 1: stop stop rocking the boat. I mean, essentially that's kind 219 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 1: of Bianca's experience was as a child, her mother tried 220 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 1: to abuse it out of her, locked her in room 221 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 1: so she wouldn't dress, and dresses essentially, and yeah, you can, 222 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: like there's so many things that you really if it 223 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: was up to you, if it was truly a choice, 224 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: so much simpler to follow the status quo. And that's 225 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: what we people are understanding. It's not about this, that's 226 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: is like fan fair of like they're trying to be dramatic. 227 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: It's no, that's they're just trying to live, trying to 228 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 1: live our life. Why yes. So as always inspiring work here, 229 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,840 Speaker 1: very important work.
