How to Start Your Transition

My name is Keegan and welcome to  Upside Down and Back to Front!I came up with the idea for this podcast after a few friends and I appeared on a local radio show. We had gone on the show to speak about how experiences of growing up as members of the Lgbtq+ community. I found it to be such an amazing experience and felt that there was so much more I could talk about but the show was a one-off. Enter this podcast, I realised the importance of sharing our experiences, and how much of a need there is for education here in South Africa. Upon chatting with members of the LGBT Support Group I am a part of, Same Love Toti, we noticed how often people were contacting us with the same questions and concerns, and we decided to try and find a way to make more resources and support available to a wider audience. That is what I am hoping to do here, I may be the host but I am far from the only person who will (hopefully) share my experiences on this show. I want to create an archive of resources for members of the LGBTQ+ community, their friends, family, or just anyone interested in learning more. I will cover things such as what it means to be Transgender, resources for trans* people, education, community stories, definitions of commonly used terms, how to find support, and much, much more. If any of this sounds like something you may be interested in, please give it a listen and consider sharing it with friends, family, or anyone who you think may benefit.  Hosted on Acast.
