DISPATCHES FROM THE 2023 VT TRANS AUDIO RETREAT
Stories about trans people have long been told by cis people, and stories about rural people have been told by city people. We believe in the power of rural trans & queer people telling our own stories, in our own words, by us and for us.
These pieces were created, start to finish, over five days by participants in our first Vermont Trans Audio Retreat in the Spring of 2023. With support from OITO staff & Rae Garringer of Country Queers.
These pieces contain audio that may be challenging to hear or bring up emotions for listeners. Please take care of yourself!
