Becoming: Jake Graf

from This Old Thing? Hosted by Bay Garnett; Jake Graf

Jake recounts his earliest memories of knowing he had been born into the wrong body, navigating puberty, family and sexuality through to finding the courage and clarity to become who he really is. Jake's story is one that has elements all of us can relate to, but the complexity and challenges are ones most of us can't imagine, but can certainly learn from. Jake talks about the expectations of him when he was a little girl, dressed in pink, through to his relationship with clothes today, with some memories that are both touching and harrowing. We're honoured he dropped by for a chat, as a new dad and busy film-maker and activist, and hope you get as much out of this episode as we did.
