Tranos & the Lived Experience Kamryn Ehlen Jerrel

In slightly more than ONE WEEK, Kamryn goes under the knife. TODAY, she talks about how this process is so freeing in the way it’s going to cut away some of the damage she’s done to herself in service of people who didn’t want her to be the person she actually is and how it’s opening up space in her life she was too cramped to move around in.

On the extended eve of her facial feminization surgery, after many setbacks, Kamryn explains what it means to her to transform her body to match what she carries around inside everyday.
She explains what the content output will look like after her face has been peeled like a grape and her skull passes through the femininity forge and why she’s choosing to undergo this ordeal. And, this is Bee editorializing, I’m so proud of her.

Tranos & The Lived Experience is back for 2024 with a very special episode! This week, Kamryn is joined by John “JC Money” Cimino, a long-time locker room colleague, a long-time friend and sometime foe. They plumb their shared history for tender memories and interrogate the moments in their lives where they couldn’t truly see each other through the filter of beef.
