Montana's first transgender legislator stands her ground
Seat 31: Zooey Zephyr chronicles a pivotal moment in Montana state politics when Representative Zooey Zephyr, the state's first openly transgender legislator, was expelled from the House floor for speaking against a bill banning gender-affirming care. Undeterred, she set up a makeshift office on a hallway bench labeled "Seat 31." Director Kimberly Reed captures this act of defiance, highlighting Zephyr's unwavering commitment to her constituents and the broader fight for transgender rights.
