summary_computer_generated | Jacquie Grant discusses their life experiences spanning the 1950s to the 1970s. Born in Victoria and raised in Sydney, Grant's early years were marked by a challenging family life, leading them to live independently in Sydney's King's Cross by their early teens. During this time, the area was vibrant yet dangerous, characterized by turf wars and police corruption. Grant vividly describes the hardships faced by trans individuals, including police harassment and societal marginalization. Fleeing Sydney's oppressive environment, Grant moved to Wellington, New Zealand, joining a community that included notable figures like Carmen Rupe and Chrissy Witoko. Grant delves into their entrepreneurial ventures in Wellington, including opening a pet shop and several cafes and restaurants that became social hubs for the LGBTQ+ community. They highlight the stark contrast between the policing in Sydney and Wellington, noting a relative tolerance towards the trans community in New Zealand. Throughout the interview, Grant reflects on the evolution of LGBTQ+ rights and acceptance, underscoring the progress made from their youth to the present day. Jacquie's story is a testament to resilience, community building, and the transformative power of self-acceptance and advocacy. |
