In this episode of For One Night Only (FONO), Jocelyn Bishop talks with the extraordinary Penn Russell (Pronouns they/them) and they tell their story of realising that they were born into the wrong body at an early age and the dark times that followed through their school years and then the journey to coming out as who they really are.
