There were many moments in my transition journey that I didn’t plan but worked out in my favor. For example, transitioning at work wasn’t easy, but there was a sense of ease and a level of comfort. Before me, the company had never experienced someone transitioning, so I got the chance to educate them and feel empowered in the process. But, there were moments when I felt very uncomfortable and traumatized, and in this episode of Dem Bois Podcast, I talk about both the good and bad. I answer a question from Michael in Jacksonville, Fl: how did you transition at work?
