One of the most profound and educational podcasts we have done to date.  I have to admit I did not know much about people who were transgender so I was a complete novice during this podcast.  I am so glad that someone like Olivia who is a teenage herself and who had just lost her dad the previous year in an accident was able to show wisdom and courage well beyond her years to talk to me.  You will also hear from Gail, Olivia's mother who supported her through the process from Oliver to Olivia.

Olivia and I discussed the following:

What it's actually like being transgender.
The mental affects of not identifying with your gender and the thought patterns while being in a boys body.
The loss of her father while going through the transition.
The impact the Royal Children's Hospital played in her support.
The process of changing
The impacts on school life and friends
How she feels now she's made the decision
What the future holds and what she hopes to achieve.

This is a must listen too if you actually want to understand the real life of someone who is Transgender and the impacts on their life.
