Demystifying Transgender Experiences: A Candid Discussion with Wendy Cole
Manage episode 480127406 series 3412484
Hey Let's Be Perfectly Queer Fam! – Archie and Katie here! This week, we’re chatting with the amazing Wendy Cole, a transition mentor and coach who’s been making her mark in the trans community. Wendy takes us on a journey through her experience of transitioning in 2015, and we dive deep into how far we've come and how much work still needs to be done for trans folks, especially when it comes to support.
In this episode, Wendy opens up about:
- The lack of support she faced when she transitioned and what the underground trans experience used to look like
- Why gender identity and sexual orientation are hardwired in our brains, and how society often gets it wrong
- The UK Supreme Court’s controversial stance on biological sex and what that means for trans rights
- How Wendy is changing perspectives by bridging the gap between cisgender and transgender people through open conversations
Plus, we touch on some seriously important topics, like the importance of unity within the LGBTQ+ community, the challenges trans women face, and why it’s so crucial to educate cisgender people.
We get real about the struggles, but also the strength and resilience that come from embracing who we truly are. Wendy’s story is a powerful reminder that it’s never too late to be yourself and to start living your truth, no matter how hard it seems.
🎧 Tune in to this thought-provoking conversation and let’s keep building a world of love, acceptance, and understanding. Catch us wherever you get your podcasts!
Until next time, we hope we’ve been perfectly queer,
Archie & Katie 🌈
