Looking back on her memories dating all the way back to early childhood, she explores the signs she now knows pointed to a transgender experience.

These feelings can be confusing, isolating, and sometimes painful – but they’re also completely valid and more common than you might think. If you’re experiencing discomfort with your assigned gender or feel drawn to explore your identity, you’re not alone.

Almost 2% of any population is born with some kind of intersex traits, and some of them choose to transition! This week, we interview our newest moderator, Samira, who was assigned male at birth but noticed early into puberty that something was different. As she showed feminine secondary sex characteristics into adulthood, she found out she was intersex and decided to transition fully to female.

Transition in Rural America, especially in 2025, is an isolating and challenging experience. In this episode, Victoria - founder of Transgender Zone - interviews our newest moderator on our online learning community, Olivia. Olivia shares how Transgender Zone's trans-only online community and transition coaching has accelerated her transition and given her a sense of connection in her rural town where she has no local transgender friends. After she decided to transition, Olivia showed up full force socially by transitioning at work almost immediately connecting more deeply with her Father who came out as gay shortly before.

This week, Victoria and Christopher explore the topic of cowardice, sparked by a great conversation from one of Victoria’s Live Office Hours at Transgender Zone. They’ll read comments left by Transgender Zone members on the following prompt: Have you ever felt like a coward in your transition? It doesn’t make you a coward because you let fear guide a decision: you’re on a challenging journey where you’ll gradually find more confidence, step by step. It might take you some time to take these bigger steps, but that doesn’t make you any less valid in your journey. Just admitting to yourself that you’re transgender is one of the bravest things that you can do.
