In Trans News, we make a call to our allies to stand up and speak out against all the hate and anti-drag and trans bills being presented in states all over the United States. A trans teen confronts Governor Glenn Youngkin at a CNN Townhall, and of course Glenn, just beat around the bush, and didn't speak it out loud. So, many people use trans bills to really attack trans women because they feel trans women are men trying to invade women's spaces and we talk about that on this week's episode of TTalk 101.

On this week's episode of TTalk101, Kennidi responds to a video that surfaced of Michael Knowles at CPAC talking about the eradication of Transgenderism. She dives in deep on what it means for trans people in America when the far right is openly telling you exactly what they want to do. Trans people are humans and we just want to live. Currently Trans and queer people are the punching bag for the far right extremists. Many trans and anti lgbtqia headlines and bills being passed.
On a lighter side, Kennidi talks about how difficult it is to get used to wearing a bra when you never grew up with one.

Are we going backwards in the United States? Prior to Stonewall in 1969 it was illegal to come out in public in drag and you could be arrested, that is happening all over again in the good ole USofA. Tennessee just passed a bill that would make it illegal to do drag in public spaces and it also allows the government to dictate how that law is interpreted and that could harm trans folks as well. In this weeks return of TTalk 101, Kennidi Monroe discusses this very issue and where we need to be and get ready as a queer community to fight for our rights all over again to exist in America.

Matt Barnes is against trans women playing in the WNBA, and Caitlyn Jenner slams trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvany.

This week Kennidi goes deep into the controversy that has been swirling around for years about trans queens being able to compete on Rupaul's Drag Race. So, many people say it wouldn't be fair for trans queens against cis male drag queens because it won't be fair. Kennidi uses examples like Miss Continental Pageant, which is a trans dominated pageant that has had cis male drag queens compete and win and they never said they can't compete. Drag is about transitioning into something, not about changing gender. This week Kennidi talks about drag and how it has affected her life since she was a kid. She talks about her time in Chicago and how it was hard to get a gig if you were trans, only trans people that got work was Continental Girls. The real question is, should Ru leave Drag Race? Should trans and all forms of drag be allowed on show just like Dragula has done? Kennidi is a fan of drag, and loves all versions of drag and feels things need to change on Drag Race.
Also, we talk about the first episode of Canada's Drag Race, and what Kennidi thought of Brooklyn Hytes as the host. Lastly, Kennidi watches Drag Race for the queens and some of her friends and has made friends with the queens like JuJuBe, and she talks about love for her and Season 5 All Stars! All this, on this weeks TTalk101 with Kennidi Monroe.

Today is the last day of Pride Month and we can't leave it without talking about Trans Pride. Many times in the LGBTQ+ community, trans people have felt left out of Pride. If it wasn't for two trans women of color, we most likely wouldn't have the rights we have today. Even though most of all the Pride celebrations were cancelled this year due to COVID-19, it has helped us educated and learn more about Pride and how we need to fight for Black Lives.
In today's episode Kennidi Monroe talks about the Stonewall Uprising, Marsha P. Johnson and Silvia Rivera and how trans women of color have shaped and molded her into the woman she is today. We also discuss the trans documentary Disclosure on Netfilx and how that movie has made Kennidi look back on her life and how badly she wanted to be an actor but felt like being trans would never allow that to happen. She talks about how she turned to drag and the adult industry to fill that void of wanting to be an actor.
As we end this month of Pride remember to carry that pride on with you for more than just one month. Carry it to the voting booths this November.

She pays tribute to Reina, telling stories about how Reina was a big part of her life and transition. In 2005, when TTalk101 was released it was groundbreaking.
It is Pride Month, and to kick off her first episode back she talks about how important the trans movement is. Why the Black Trans Lives Movement is important for the trans movement. How we need to be better as white trans siblings. We need to speak out and create change in the LGBTQIA+ community. Kennidi talks about situations she was in that if she was black, the scenario would be totally different. She expresses her white privilege and how Trans Women of Color are the real reason she is who she is today. So, many Trans POC have helped her in her journey. This show is dedicated to them.
