losing yourself is a bigger price to pay with munroe bergdorf

on this episode of live a little, nikki lilly is joined by writer, model, broadcaster and activist munroe bergdorf, and the chemistry between them is immediate and electric! munroe has become one of the most powerful and eloquent voices fighting for trans rights and community liberation. from her ground-breaking memoir 'transitional' to her feature documentary 'love & rage' to her young adult handbook 'talk to me: how to have conversations that matter', munroe has carved out a legacy of radical honesty and uncompromising advocacy. on this episode, munroe opens up about childhood and the experiences that made her go from 'loud' to inward. she talks about the first time she realised she was trans, how puberty changed how her body was perceived by others and the struggle of developing in a way that didn't feel right. nikki and munroe bond over the experience of being bullied and the moment you become aware that people won't just understand you, accept you, get you. that's the shift. munroe also talks about the government coming after trans rights, the ongoing struggle of visibility and safety, and what it costs to hide who you are. if you've ever felt like becoming yourself might cost you too much or questioned whether hiding is safer than being seen... this one's for you. don't forget to subscribe and don't miss new episodes every thursday!
