069 | Tracy Murphy • Queerness, Sobriety, Language, Heteronormativity & Creating Community

Summary: About Expressness Guest, Tracy Murphy: Hey. I'm Tracy. I’m a lesbian. I’m cis. I’m sober. My passion is making sure people can see themselves represented in the recovery community. I started my blog, LGBTteetotaler, and my monthly feature We’re Here, We're Queer! to do just that. These are both platforms for myself and others to share our experiences with sobriety, recovery and, Queerness/Transness. My end goal is to help foster a truly intersectional recovery culture where all sorts of people can see their experiences reflected back to them and be inspired to make changes in their lives. Or, at the very least, know that they aren't alone. But, that's not all! I live in Portland, Oregon but I'll always be a New Englander. I juggle. I hike. I read. I create art. I listen to A LOT of 90's music. I have an obsession with queer lady movies, TV shows and, web series. I spent 16 years working in the health insurance industry. I'm pretty funny. Oh, and I like cats.
