On March 22, I was walking through downtown Guelph when I met someone I’ll never forget.
Rone is a butch-presenting trans woman with sharp wit, layered strength, and a quiet vulnerability that invites real conversation. She’s also someone who, like thousands of others across Ontario, depends on supervised consumption services—not just for safety, but as a vital access point to the kind of healthcare most people take for granted.
We spent the day wandering the city, sharing stories. One week later, on March 28, we met up again to continue the conversation for Episode 2 of Walking Radio.
In this episode, Rone talks candidly about what it means to navigate pain management as a trans person, the medical discrimination she’s faced, and the lifeline the Guelph Community Health Centre has been for her. Rone shares her own story with striking clarity, a story that echoes the experiences of thousands facing the looming threat of service cuts and supervised consumption site closures across the province.
This conversation isn’t just about one woman or one site—it’s about how care, connection, and community are built from the ground up. It’s about what we stand to lose when we let political agendas erase the reality of people’s lives.
Rone’s voice is full of clarity and courage. I’m honoured to share it with you.
Walking Radio is recorded on the move, in the elements, and in real time—bringing you into the shared space where stories unfold. No studio. No polish. Just presence.
