On this episode, I sit down with Katie Marshall, the chair of Be: Trans Support and Community. We chat about her life experience as a transgender woman, overcoming addiction and a suicide attempt to become a visible and inspiring figure in her community, and the importance of the work of the healers in our community - the people who listen, who understand, and who raise the voices of those who most need to be heard. The journey of accepting our own gender identity can be a powerful transition - not just from assigned gender to our true selves, but from pain and isolation into the power of community and self acceptance.
