LGBTQ – Embark on a thought-provoking journey with Bryant McLemore-Smith as he peels back the layers of identity within the LGBTQ community. In episode 8, Bryant delves into the profound world of "T"—for Trans—through a candid and illuminating conversation with Vera, a 35-year-old trans femme who began her transition 13 years ago. Vera’s story is one of self-discovery, courage, and transformation, shaped by her exploration of psychology, philosophy, and the mysteries of multiple pagan belief sects. As she pens an allegorical philosophy book on deconstructing the ego and living authentically, Vera invites listeners into the depths of what it means to truly embrace one’s self within—and beyond—the LGBTQ spectrum.
