Is 2019 a Bad Time to Come Out Trans?

Is the political climate right now conducive to coming out trans? In this week's episode we answer a listener question: "Someone close to me has come out to me as trans and I’m so proud of her but so many things in the news scare me. I know she finds them scary too. I just wonder, if you were facing starting a transition in today’s world, would you? Would any of the threats to trans rights going on today give you pause if you were still at the beginning of this process?"  Be sure and check out Queer and Pleasant Danger by Kate Bornstein.  Support us on Patreon to help us keep making great content, and to get some cool rewards—like drinks with us at Stonewall Inn!
