What happens when a non-binary trans masc, non-binary person, straight ally, lesbian therapist, and trans woman walk into a room?
In this special episode of The Misfyt Podcast, we bring together members of the queer and trans community and an ally to explore the diverse and rich experiences of queer and trans people. From heartfelt stories of resilience to deep discussions on identity, acceptance, and advocacy, we aim to foster understanding and celebrate the unique journeys within the trans community.
Get ready to learn, laugh, and maybe even shed a tear (we won’t judge). ✨
