Welcome to EP 022 of the CVD Podcast!!
This conversation with George Evans is unlike ANY conversation I've had before!
George is a trans male, meaning he was born female and is now male. He has been living life as George for almost 11 years now and he gave me an all-access pass to what his journey has been like.
He said, "Adam, I want you to be that friend with no filter. As I'm telling my story, ask ANY question and make ANY comments that come to your mind. Literally just blurt them out. If you're thinking these things, then others are as well, and this platform is a great opportunity to talk about them in a safe space and educate people on what a transgender person may actually be thinking, feeling, and dealing with."
I tried my best, I promise!
Oh and the reason I ever got connected to George is because I saw a post he made on LINKEDIN that he is transgender. I immediately reached out because I admired his vulnerability and courage and felt such a desire to learn more and get his message out to as many people as possible.
In this episode, George talks about:
- His purpose of posting on LinkedIn and what happened after 6 MILLION people saw it
- Discovering at 19 that being transgender is a REAL THING
- Being SO confused about who he was and how he felt after relating to everything a trans male was talking about on YouTube
- The struggles of being misunderstood and dismissed by health professionals
- How his friends and family reacted to him wanting to live as a male
- The journey of hormone therapy and deciding whether or not to get surgery
- Relationships and finding his place in the workplace
- Living "in stealth" versus telling others he is a trans male
