44. What is internalized transphobia and how to overcome it

Ep. 44

Ever catch yourself thinking you’re “not trans enough” or somehow doing it wrong? That voice might not actually be yours. It might be internalized transphobia.

In this episode of Trans and Transparent, we talk about what that really means, how it shows up in everyday life, and what it takes to start unlearning it. This is an honest conversation about shame, comparison, and finding your way back to yourself.
