    #8 Accidental Activism: Being Trans in Everyday Spaces

    Comment below if you have had a similiar experience and what are your thoughts? #8 Accidental Activism: Being Transgender in Everyday Spaces In this episode of Poised and Petty, I talk about what it means to be representation for the trans community in everyday life—without trying to be a spokesperson or a headline. After working a short-term job over the holidays, a coworker shared something unexpected: I was the first trans person he had ever known, and he was grateful to have worked alongside me. I talk about visibility, responsibility, and the quiet impact of simply existing as a trans woman in spaces that aren’t always built for us. I reflect on how representation doesn’t always look like activism—it can look like kindness, professionalism, boundaries, and being fully human. Especially in a world full of loud hate, this episode is about choosing how we show up, protecting ourselves, and still making space for hope.

    Welcome to the seventh episode of Poised and Petty! Being visibly trans online comes with love, connection, community… and a whole lot of unwanted hate. In this episode of Poised & Petty, I’m opening up about what it’s really like to exist on the internet as a trans woman in 2025. From navigating transphobic comments to dealing with trolls, boundary-setting, digital self-care, and learning how to protect my mental health, I break down my entire system for handling online hate without losing myself. I talk about the emotional impact of being trans online, how I respond to ignorance vs. hostility, the difference between educating and preserving your peace, and how blocking, muting, and curating your feeds can actually be acts of self-love. I also share the confidence tools that helped me build my identity, strengthen my voice, and stay grounded while transitioning publicly. Whether you’re a trans person trying to survive social media, someone questioning your identity, or an ally wanting to understand what trans creators face every day, this episode offers practical advice, personal stories, and a lot of heart.
