*Episode content warning: suicide. Elle continues her reflections on sorting out her gender identity with a decidedly more granular look at the details. This continues from the first episode on this theme (which can be found here here). Elle shares about her preoccupations with gender identity, and changing her body, which are as old as daytime trash TV shows by Geraldo Rivera and Sally Jesse Raphael. Other material she references includes: a short film entitled Eucharist which is about suicide, the 2005 documentary Transgeneration, Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap (and in particular, the 1991 episode called 8 1/2 Months), and David Reimer's story as chronicled by the book "The Boy Who Was Raised as a Girl".
If you are in crisis and under age 23, please reach out to the Trevor Project for support. They offer an excellent 24/7 lifeline here: https://www.thetrevorproject.org/get-help/
The National Suicide & Crisis Hotline is available to all people living in the United States and can be accessed by dialing 988 or on the website: https://988lifeline.org/
