#8 Accidental Activism: Being Transgender in Everyday Spaces

In this episode of Poised and Petty, I talk about what it means to be representation for the trans community in everyday life—without trying to be a spokesperson or a headline. After working a short-term job over the holidays, a coworker shared something unexpected: I was the first trans person he had ever known, and he was grateful to have worked alongside me.

I talk about visibility, responsibility, and the quiet impact of simply existing as a trans woman in spaces that aren’t always built for us. I reflect on how representation doesn’t always look like activism—it can look like kindness, professionalism, boundaries, and being fully human. Especially in a world full of loud hate, this episode is about choosing how we show up, protecting ourselves, and still making space for hope.
