This week’s guest is Eddie, someone who wants to share their rare story in the hopes that it will offer a light to others. Eddie was raised as a boy by her father and as a girl by her mother. She unpacks how a lifetime of misgendering has affected her. She also opens up about the sadly not-so-rare story of being raised by abusive and narcissistic parents.
