Laura Peters on Finding our Political Voices and Loving our Genders Out Loud
Laura Peters is the Maryland Legislative Coordinator for Amnesty International. She has worked in politics and education for most of her career, first as a counsel to an education subcommittee for the U.S. House of Representatives and then as a political appointee for the Clinton administration. Listen to her conversation with Robin Renée on creating a more welcoming environment for immigrants, small acts that can make a big positive impact, and the importance of giving back. Laura then shares candidly about her journey of cross-dressing, coming to embrace her gender identity, and finding the joys of living in full self-expression.
In podcast news, the Leftscape Patreon page is official today! Robin and Wendy Sheridan also discuss other news items including Jane Fonda’s recent arrests, prisoners released in Oklahoma, closed-door impeachment hearing transcripts, and how we can look forward to Mueller Memos for years to come. In The Blanket Fort, Robin feels renewed at the beginning of the Pagan New Year. Wendy isn’t there yet, but is trying her best to make time to get to the self-care on her to-do list. Both share trials, triumphs, and small tips for health and balance along with a few laughs.
