Interview with June Taylor
This video features an interview with two people who are good friends––June Taylor and Isabelle Wedin. June Taylor is a white trans woman from Winston-Salem North Carolina, and Isabelle Wedin is a white woman from Long Island. They both discuss their childhoods, the realizations that they were transgender, and how their wives supported them with their transitions. They talk about how they became friends online. They discuss the broader issues trans people face accessing medical care, and how LGBT groups often disenfranchise trans people. They discuss the different ways they give back to the community, Taylor by being on the Trans Advisory & Action Team at the University of Minnesota and helping Allina with their guidelines for trans care, and Wedin by giving trans women free voice lessons.
