From Male Model to Trans Woman - Phoebe’s Story of Growing Up Deaf

The uncensored, extended conversation is available here: https://patreon.com/TRANSCRUSH/ Phoebe joins Trans Crush to share her extraordinary story of growing up deaf, becoming an international male model, and eventually transitioning after years of hiding her identity. Born in New Zealand and later traveling the world through modeling in cities like Sydney, New York, Los Angeles, and Tokyo, Phoebe spent over a decade performing masculinity on camera while privately struggling with identity, addiction, and self-acceptance. After getting sober and finding the courage to transition, she left everything behind and moved to London to start a completely new life. In this episode, Phoebe opens up about transitioning at 25, navigating the queer nightlife scene, DIY hormones, surviving family rejection, and rebuilding her life with the support of the trans community. She also shares the emotional reality of growing up deaf, being bullied for femininity, and learning to trust herself after years of being told who she should be. This is an honest conversation about identity, resilience, community, trauma, and what it means to finally live as your authentic self as a trans woman. In This Episode We Discuss: ◼️ Growing up deaf and learning to lip-read before getting hearing aids ◼️ Being bullied for femininity as a child ◼️ Traveling the world as a male model while hiding her identity ◼️ Addiction, sex parties, and the darker side of nightlife ◼️ The moment sobriety led to her transition epiphany ◼️ Moving alone to London to begin her transition ◼️ Starting HRT and navigating DIY hormones ◼️ Finding support in London’s trans community ◼️ Family rejection and discovering relatives supporting anti-trans politics ◼️ Dating, safety, and traumatic experiences with men ◼️ Why Phoebe believes being trans can be a superpower
