EP7 - TRANS INFLUENCER - Adelle Barker

Trigger warning: Early talk about s*lf h*rm. Gay jobs vs Day jobs. Being on a fancy video shoot for a TV ad. Coming out as a trans woman at work. Getting pro make-up. Unmasking. Identity. Air quotes in different fonts. Being in The Sims in real life. Is Sangita an energy vampire? Pretending to be geezer Dads to fit in. Adelle’s media empire of #not stuff. Adelle and Jordan Grey’s parallel trans journeys. Supportive managers at work. Deadnaming. The awkward teenage dressing up stage. 'My trombone is brilliant!' Nick. Tights filled with rice as boobs before hormones kick in. Cross dressing from the charity shop. Find your style - going from prologue self direct to Clueless. LinkedIn is Facebook for people with no soul. #IDontKnowHowToBeTrans. Rainbow honours awards. What happens in the VIP room! Meeting Russell Tovey. Finding your hairstyle. Staying positive and being your authentic self through negativity. Essex Pride is the cure for Lawrence Fox energy drain. Diversity breeds creativity. Equity vs equality. Getting styled by the Strictly stylist! Growing your own boobs and seeing them on the big screen.
