"It's okay to be straight, it's okay to be cis, just be fucking cool."

Join special guest Leo and I answering questions from the masses about being a trans person right now! Plot twist: this was our first time meeting. We laughed, we snacked, and of course, we DOWNED our Diet Cokes.

With exhaustion and a diet coke coursing through my veins, I spend the episode giving the BASICS on what it means to be trans, laughing at the random things that come out of my brain, and clearing up the confusion on gender affirming care for minors! I still have no idea what I am doing with audio editing, but enjoy the better sound quality!

Powered solely by a Baja Blast and a dream, I spend the episode introducing the podcast, setting lofty goals for myself, and walking you through my journey as a trans woman — all while learning about how to edit audio in real time. I absolutely never knew that "um" and "like" were my favorite word, but we'll work on it. Do your homework and come back soon!
