Chloe Corcoran joins host Emily Hessney Lynch to talk about the it's a lot-ness (and the hope and joy!) that's part of coming out, transitioning, and navigating daily life as a trans woman. We talk about her earliest memories of knowing she's a girl, how her competitive streak and sense of humor have carried her through her transition and hard times, and how living as her authentic self made her want to live.

In the second half of the episode, we explore how you really need to just trust trans people, the importance of mutual aid and how far $20 can go, pervasive loneliness, and awesome trans musicians.
