Choosing a Life without Misery with Louise Richardson

As a special 50th Episode, I speak with Louise Richardson, a transgender woman whose transition in the 1970s demonstrates how - despite many strides made in society - the transgender experience is no better understood. Louise is an author, poet, and playwright whose work can be seen, heard, and read across many media. Louise and I discuss topics as diverse as early transgender community, how gender transition has changed, and how the girl next door always keeps you guessing.
