We're Stronger than Ever: Making History with Jupiter Peraza
Episode description
In this episode of Cool Trans Girl, I sit down with Jupiter Peraza— a trans advocate, community organizer, and political strategist who helped make history by founding Transgender History Month in San Francisco.
From landmarking the site of the 1966 Compton’s Cafeteria Riots to authoring statewide legislation, Jupiter has been at the forefront of policy, activism, and cultural preservation for our community.
We talk about:
🌸 The journey from trans immigrant to history-maker
🌸 The current state of the union — anti-trans bills, media fear tactics, and resilience
🌸 Mental health, self-care, and navigating burnout in advocacy work
🌸 Finding hope, community, and love in a time of backlash
If you’ve ever felt disheartened by the headlines or questioned how to keep faith when the world feels heavy — this episode is a reminder that our community is stronger than ever. 💌🔗
