Summary

*TRIGGER WARNING*: This episode contains discussions around suicide and rape.

This week, we are joined by the incredible Charlie Craggs. Charlie is an author, actress and the brains behind campaigns such as Nail Transphobia and Charlie's Self Defence Angels. More recently, she was in the press after being denied hormones by her new GP after moving out of London after a transphobic attack.

We sat down to discuss all of this and more. Charlie is a true trailblazer for the trans community, so make sure you don't miss this one!

If you have been affected by any of the themes in this episode, both Samaritans and SARSAS have resources on their websites.
