In this episode of the Life Lived Trans podcast, hosts Mardi and Lenny welcome Regina, who shares her brave journey of transitioning the day she retired at 65, 10 years ago. Living in a very conservative rural community Regina recounts her experiences of acceptance in her community, the significance of being true to oneself and the importance of queer community support and networking. We discuss the differences and similarities between early and late transitions, emphasizing the shared struggles within the transgender community. Greater awareness and respect for trans persons transitioning later in life is unfortunately. The significance of storytelling and sharing of our differing trans experiences within the trans community can not be stressed enough.

In this episode, we explore the significance of Halloween as a time for self-expression and authenticity, particularly within the transgender community.

We discuss our first experiences dressing up, the evolution of gender expression, and the societal norms that impact identity.

The conversation highlights the importance of visibility and representation for trans individuals, as well as the ongoing fight against discrimination and authoritarianism.

We end with a teaser for upcoming guests and a call to action for listeners to support the trans community.

The hard truths and surprising joys about our awkward baby tra**y phase — while diving into what it really means to live authentically in a world that loves us to live in a box.

Expect laughter, honesty, a few rants, and plenty of love as we explore the mess, magic, and milestones of being trans. Whether you're deep in your own journey or just trying to understand someone else's, this episode is here to make you feel seen — and maybe even chuckle through the chaos.

We go deep into the DM’s and discuss handling trolls, being spooked and ashamed when clocked with other trans friends and those nasty hormones when they’re not moaning and a whole lot of other things!
