Trystan Reese is a dad to three great kids, he has a loving partner, and a fulfilling career. It's a beautiful, somewhat typical life. But as a transgender man, there's nothing typical about how he got here.


How he grew his family – from an unexpected adoption, to his very public trans pregnancy – is a huge part of how Trystan does his LGBTQ+ advocacy work. And in this episode, we hear Trystan’s family story, how he pushes past judgment to tell his story, and why, even with the war on DE&I, he thinks there’s still hope.
