10-year Transition Anniversary Reflection

Send us Fan MailFor me, medically transitioning was like going through puberty for a second time, and it triggered me in ways I didn’t expect. My acne came back, my body changed, I grew hair in places it never grew before, I couldn’t get this “man scent” off, and so much more. But, as I celebrate 10 years of choosing to live authentically, I now realize that I should have been celebrating every one of those little moments, because they all add up to make me who I am today. In this episode of Dem Bois Podcast, I share more of my transition story and reflect on my journey so far.I talk:My youtube page and documenting my medical transition - 5:53How my body physically changed - 10:49My acne problems and skin issues - 20:48Having to learn my body all over again - 25:08Anger issues and how they affected my family - 29:57How I celebrated 10 years of being my authentic self - 38:29Click here for transcript!Episode References:Ep. 3 - Surviving HomelessnessEp. 7 - Transitioning at WorkEp. 13 - Reaching Back Through Philanthropy and the Actualization of Dem Bois IncYoutube ChannelCelebrate 10 years of Dem Bois Inc.!2026 marks ten years of Dem Bois Inc.
