Why is visibility so important? Because many times, if you can’t see something, you don’t know that it exists. And if you don’t know that it exists, you may think that it’s impossible. That is true for so many of my trans brothers and sisters out there, and that was the journey for today’s guest, Micah Scott, entrepreneur, artist, and musician. In this episode of Dem Bois Podcast, we talk about transitioning later in life, being socialized as a hetero woman, dating as a trans man, and more.
We talk:
How the name “Micah” chose him - 5:00
His transition journey - 8:02
Insurance “privilege,” covering gender affirming care and surgery - 20:27
Growing up going to an all-girls school - 28:28
What dating is like for him post-transition - 35:02
Advice for listeners - 55:28

I am late in medically transitioning starting at age 50. I am excited for my new life and my transition has made me more confident of myself and the value of my life.
