What’s the reality of male-to-female transitioning on the NHS?
Lexi Perry-Weston says the online resources she found didn’t relate to her experiences at all.
In this interview with Olly, she explains how she’s been supported in her trans journey by her family, her workplace and the medical establishment - but also harassed by the public, fetishised by partners and discriminated against by businesses.
From hormones to dating apps, vocal therapy to changing room etiquette, this is one Mann-fan’s experience of gender transition in 2020.
CONTENT WARNING: interview contains references to rape, suicide, abuse, recounting of transphobic language and gender dysphoria. In the UK, the Samaritans can be contacted on 116 123. In the US, the National Suicide Prevention Hotline is 1-800-273-8255. In Australia, the crisis support service Lifeline is on 13 11 14. Hotlines in other countries can be found here.
This episode first aired in September 2020, in the episode 'What To Expect When You're Transitioning'. Now remastered and with a brand-new , extended interview with Lexi in 2025, we discuss how the political climate has changed... as well as Lexi's own life.
