Episode #40 - Roxy's Story (Pt 2/2)

Part two of Dr. Lois Lee's conversation with Roxy continues where Part 1 left off — from surviving a near-fatal attack to the strength she's built in spite of everything she's been through.

In this episode:

• Growing up trans in a neighborhood where being gay or trans meant her family was targeted too — and how she learned to stand her ground
• Her take on courage and self-possession as a trans woman, using blunt, unapologetic language about what it takes to live openly
• A hard truth about abuse: that women can be abusers too, and Dr. Lee's own experience hearing from boys who disclosed being sexually abused by their mothers
• Roxy's answer to a question every parent of a trans kid should sit with: what do you say to your son when he tells you he's trans?
