In this inspiring episode of The Chronically Unbalanced, Peg Leg Meg and Sarah sit down with a courageous trans man who shares his deeply personal journey of self-discovery and the challenges of transitioning.
From growing up feeling different but not having the words to express it, to coming out as gay in high school, and ultimately transitioning in university, his story is one of perseverance, resilience, and finding peace in a world that often makes that path difficult.
He opens up about the hardships of accessing gender-affirming care in Australia, the impact of rising anti-trans rhetoric, and the constant fight for trans rights, both locally and globally.
Join us for a conversation on navigating identity, healing, and the ongoing battle for dignity and rights in a rapidly changing world.
