I SWEAR I'M REAL: Wicked Transgender Truth

I SWEAR I'M REAL: Wicked Transgender Truth

I Swear I’m Real: Trans Truth is where unfiltered honesty meets unapologetic trans brilliance. Hosted by someone who’s been called “too much” their whole life (and took it as a compliment), this show dives headfirst into the messy, magical, and occasionally absurd-sounding truths of trans life. Expect spicy takes, zero sugarcoating, and the occasional “did they really just say that?” moment. From dismantling cisnormative nonsense to laughing at the chaos of gender, we’re here to prove that trans stories aren’t just real—they’re the most interesting thing in your feed.

This poem was inspired by a TikTok comment I received on my page, @coachalexvaughan. Understanding the transgender, noncisgender, experience will be difficult for some. For many. Until it's not.

What fuels delusion? Fear. Be scared but dare to live, staring it alive in the face.
