Real Talk Unplugged – Sean's Story: "I just didn't fit"
What's it like being being born into a heteronormative stereotype that doesn't fit you? Being told your whole life you should dress, act, talk, and look a specific way – all the while knowing it was wrong for you, even if you didn't have the words to name it. 'Sean' shares his story of struggling to find his own identity in a sea of pronouns and terms, and looks forward to the day when we won't need to use these labels at all. With guest host Molly Maxwell.
'Sean' is an Advanced Provider in California. Sean has shown incredible bravery in sharing this story with us, but we're releasing it under a pseudonym as, sadly, our nation has a long way to go before these stories can be safely shared without fear of repercussion against those who have lived these experiences.
