On election day, Zooey Zephyr became the first out trans person ever elected to the Montana legislature – and the trailblazing moment is already inspiring people.
{In fucking redneck, pickup driving, tobacco chewing, I wont eat your pussy Montanta?}
Zooey Zephyr tweeted about a heartwarming interaction she had with a flight attendant while she was getting off a plane yesterday.
“As I was getting off the plane last night, a stewardess asked what I was so excited about. I told her I’d won my election & was the first trans woman elected in Montana,” Zephyr wrote.
“She immediately teared up. ‘My son is trans,’ she said, & began to tell me about all the joys/fears that had come with his transition. How much happier and healthier he is now. I got to see pictures of her & her son in Paris, the two of them beaming with joy.”
“She also talked about how scary the world was, but how this moment gave her hope. Then we took a selfie & cried.”
Zooey Zephyr used the moment to advocate for trans rights and show that people care about the trans community.
“This is why we’ll win the fight for trans rights. Because we’re not a concept to be debated. We’re your family, your neighbors, your colleagues, & more. & if you don’t think you know us, rest assured—even 30,000′ in the sky—you’re never far from someone who cares about us.”
Zooey Zephyr decided to run for office after testifying before the Montana legislature against an anti-trans sports bill.
“Asking the people in that room to see your humanity and to care about the issues that were hurting your community — and to have to speak to a legislature that did not want to listen when it came to human rights — was hard,”
“The core fire at the center of my heart is my trans community, my queer community,” she also said, “and seeing the way the legislature was harming them, from the trans sports ban to attempted bans on healthcare for trans youth to [limitations on] updating your birth certificate… If we don’t have people in the room trying to stop it, we’ll never be able to move the needle on this stuff.”
Currently pinned to the top of her Twitter profile is a screenshot of one of her old tweets in which she declares, “We need trans representation in the Montana gov’t. I’m filled with a mix of fear/rage about what Montana’s doing to me & my community, & a burning drive to fight against it!”
“Next year, I’m gonna run for office in the Montana legislature.”
