On today’s episode, former AFL player, coach and transgender advocate Danielle May Laidley opens up about her battle with gender dysphoria and how reconnecting with her childhood sweetheart, plus her friends from footy, helped her get through her lowest points. Plus, what the future holds and whether she will one day return to the AFL.
