UNCUT with Bella Stokes, life as a transgender woman and finding her community

BONUS episode with Bella! Her story of being transgender, finding love and living with a chronic illness.

Happy New Year Lifers! We're like the clingy little sibling that can't stay away from you so today we are bringing you a special bonus episode with one of our OG Lifers!

It's an interview that has been requested by quite literally hundreds of you!

Meet Bella, a founding member of the life uncut discussion group and a ray of sunshine in your facebook feeds!

Over the past two years Bella has been so open and vulnerable with her transition journey, and also about finding love and living with chronic kidney disease.

In this episode we sit down with Bella to speak about what her experiences were like realising her identity, sharing that knowledge with her friends and family and some of the challenges that the trans community face at the moment.

We speak about how she navigated dating, how she chose her name and what is involved in gender reassignment. A big thing from this conversation is that gender reassignment surgery costs are extravagant (around the $30k mark) and not supported through medicare so there is a gofundme organised to help Bella with these costs.
