Luke is a 27-year-old lesbian living in Ireland who started puberty blockers as a minor and went on to take testosterone and get a double mastectomy at age 19. I first met her in 2021 when she was a guest on the Transparency podcast. At that time, she was still living as a transman. 

Today, she is taking steps to reintegrate back into lesbian spaces.
