Just Trying to Live with LouLou

Today's episode features the incredible Louise, or LouLou, and what life as a T Elder means.  LouLou is just a lass trying to live her life, a transgender advocate, and hostess of 'The T Elders' podcast.  We get pretty dang philosophical about topics as diverse as preventing gatekeeping within the transgender community, how gender never stops evolving, and Dickens's lesser-known novel, "Nancy Twist."REFERENCES:Louise’s Linktree:  https://linktr.ee/Itsloulou43Follow Louise on Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/itsloulou43.bsky.socialFollow Louise on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@itsloulou43(00:00) - Opening credits (00:37) - Show opening (01:31) - Introducing Louise (02:24) - Of course we've always existed!
