Welcome Trans-Plants
A warm, candid welcome to Minnesota for transgender folks moving to the state, this episode blends practical survival tips with real talk about “Minnesota nice,” community-building, and how to clear snow. Kelsey Waits and Sherry Pofahl Johnson weave personal stories, cultural insight, and a robust web of LGBTQ2S+ resources to help you land somewhere safer, softer, and more connected. Whether you’re seeking protection, belonging, or just better boots, this is your playful-but-grounded guide to thriving in what we shall always fight for: a trans- and neuroqueer-friendly state.
