S6 Ep 19Unapologetic & Possibly Unpopular | Transgender Talks On Today’s Heated Topics

This is uncut and raw, I was also incredibly nervous recording this, and hoping that when you watch this, you'll see my genuine, curious nature about the topic, hoping that it will lead to further fruitful conversation and a better understanding of this sphere.
