Bobbie Scopa
Published on November 8, 2022
An interview by KJZZ in AZ and KLCC in Oregon. I’m just one of 3 writers who were interviewed for the Arizona interview. Share the links if you find the interview worthwhile. Thanks for listening all.
What do an Old West fantasy/mystery novel, a former transgender firefighter and NaNoWriMo have in common? Find out on this episode of KJZZ’s “Word,” hosted by Tom Maxedon. It’s a podcast about literature in Arizona and the region.
KLCC – Former firefighter reflects on adventurous and challenging career as a trans woman
Your statement, “Her memoir reminds us that transgender people while facing unique challenges in their lives, have the same goals as all human beings do: to discover who they are, to find love as best they can, and to serve their community with compassion and grace,” is what every wildland firefighter regardless of their ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, or anything that makes us all unique is doing in that environment. None of those differences have ever mattered. What does matter is the ability to do the job. Bobbie did the job.
Kind words Scott. Thanks. Hopefully we’ve both made a difference for those who worked around us and who came after us.
