Welcome to episode 166 with Tate Smith, who is an award-winning trans activist, consultant and speaker.

Tate started to experience anxiety at high school but this had nothing to do with his gender.

It was only later on in his teenage years that he became aware of what it means to be trans and was able to start making sense of himself.

In this episode I chat to Tate about anxiety, why it started and how it affects his life.

I also chat to Tate about coming out as trans, how that was received in his workplace and the last few years he has spent working towards becoming his true self.

We discuss stigma, hate and misunderstanding and we discuss joy, freedom and authenticity.

It was also fascinating to get Tate’s perspective on the current men’s mental health crisis as someone who has presented as both female and male

Tate is so wonderfully open about his life and his experiences and it was great to chat, to debunk some myths and look at men’s mental health from a completely different perspective.
