This week on Trans-plaining, we’re joined by DJ — a social worker with deep roots in community care — for a heartfelt conversation about what it means to truly support trans people. While we touch on DJ’s background, this episode is less about job titles and more about showing up, holding space, and doing the work of allyship in real life.

Together, we talk about the emotional weight trans folks often carry, the importance of being trauma-informed, and how support can look different for everyone. DJ shares insights from her lived experience and professional lens, offering guidance for anyone who wants to be a better friend, advocate, or care provider.

This is a soft, grounding conversation full of real talk and reminders that showing up doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to be real.

New episodes every week — real talk, real stories.
