In this episode of HYDRATE, Tracy sits down with Daviana Memont, a trans woman, strength coach, and the founder of Strength Discovery.

Daviana is a former Marine and competitive strength athlete who owns Strength Discovery, a facility focused on helping everyone from elite athletes to individuals with major health problems. Having come out as a trans woman about a year ago, she has since navigated a world of both intense hatred and support online. As a parent, she shares her unique perspective on her transition, emphasizing honesty and open communication with her daughter.

Throughout the episode, Tracy and Daviana dive deep into numerous complex topics. They discuss Daviana's viral video and her stance on not demanding pronouns, which stems from her belief in courtesy over entitlement. Daviana shares her perspective on the bathroom debate, explaining the double-edged sword she faces and why her priority is making others feel comfortable. The conversation also covers her firm belief that children should not medically transition before the age of 18, the distinction between biological sex and gender identity, and why she believes trans women should not compete in women's sports.

Tune in to this powerful conversation to hear a perspective that challenges echo chambers and encourages compassionate dialogue.
