The Trans Narrative Podcast Caroline Penny

On our 100TH EPISODE Caroline and Lusi meet Jason Lee from the uk as they explore gender inclusive healthcare, Jason’s transition, Alzheimer’s, being visible in a dangerous world, and a special throwback clip from the original original first ever episode of the trans narrative podcast.

"Jason Lee, a fully medically transitioned trans man, has overcome a life of hate crimes and transphobia. He realized his male identity at age 5 and began his transition in 2001. Jason has made significant contributions to the trans community, including being the first trans person to legally marry in the UK (2005). He has shared his story on Facebook Live, Pride Radio, and through public speaking engagements. Jason has also led youth initiatives, including The T-Boys Show and LGBTQI+ youth leadership roles. He has found joy in his personal life, getting engaged in 2020 and welcoming his daughter Dakota in 2021. Through his resilience and determination, Jason has become an inspiration to many in the trans community."

"Meet Justin Calloway, a 43-year-old from Fort Wayne, Indiana, who has transformed his life from a former gang member to a dedicated recovery advocate. With 13 years of sobriety under his belt, Justin has channeled his experiences into helping others overcome addiction. As the Program Manager of Road to Recovery, a recovery residence, Justin has made a profound impact on his community. His latest endeavor is particularly groundbreaking - he's opening the first recovery home in Indiana specifically designed for trans individuals. This pioneering initiative aims to provide a safe, supportive environment for trans individuals to heal and thrive in their recovery journey. Justin's remarkable story serves as a testament to the power of redemption and the importance of inclusive support systems."

On this episode Athena and Sonya meet Alex Bailey

“Alex Bailey (she/her): Born and raised near St. Louis, Mo, Alex yearned for a life authentic to her true self even from a young age. Early misconceptions about the LGBTQ+ community and societal pressures led to years of suppressed feelings and unfulfilled potential. In 2017, a spark of self-discovery ignited, leading to years of exploration and acceptance. After coming out publicly as non-binary in 2021, Alex began hormone therapy in 2022 and embraced her identity as a trans woman. Today, with bottom surgery scheduled for April 2024, Alex stands poised to finally step into the future she always envisioned. Having overcome the limitations of dysphoria-fueled asexuality and aromanticism, she now flourishes in a supportive relationship and looks forward to a future filled with joy and intimacy.”
