Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies. No matter how hard we work in life to avoid projecting on others, sometimes we struggle to greatly with our own demons. That is what internalized transphobia is, when a trans individual harbors resentment toward the larger trans community. In this episode, we also look at what it means to have an awakening. For trans people, this is a necessity, a moment of clarity when the excuses just run out. But it isn't for trans individuals alone. Self actualization is a part of life, but also one of the most difficult to achieve.
