In this episode of Hearts in Transition, host Ciara Keating sits down with Simone Murphy, a 68-year-old trans woman, educator, DJ, and activist. Simone shares her powerful story of coming out later in life, navigating family, career, and community while embracing her authentic self. From her years as a head teacher, to the challenges of transitioning in her 50s, to co-founding Kent Trans Pride, Simone’s journey is one of resilience, love, and legacy. Together, Ciara and Simone reflect on shame, self-acceptance, and the importance of creating visibility for the next generation of trans people.
