‘I love a place that hates me,’ how two transgender Oklahoma teens navigate current events in their home state

StateImpact is on a listening tour with Oklahoma’s youth. And we’ve brought along our microphones. In the first session, two transgender high school juniors from Tulsa share how they feel about their education and their place in the state. Their names are MJ and Dominik, and they sat with StateImpact’s Robby Korth earlier this month.

StateImpact’s Robby Korth and KOSU’s Kateleigh Mills produced this story as part of the America Amplified initiative using community engagement to inform and strengthen local, regional and national journalism. America Amplified is a public media initiative funded by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

If you are an organization that works with youth and would like to schedule a listening session with StateImpact and KOSU call 405-896-4327. That’s 405-896-4327.
