What is the impact of visibility? What is the cost? 

Host Katie Martell sits down with Cheryl Katon, LGBTQ+ advocate, nonprofit CEO, Eagle Scout, and one of the bravest women we know.

Cheryl shares her experience growing up trans in the 70s and 80s before having the language for it, secretly searching library shelves, finding her community, navigating loss, marriage and transition, and eventually moving from Massachusetts to Texas.

We explore the power and complicated cost of visibility, Boston’s connection to queer history, trans joy, meaningful allyship, and Cheryl’s very simple “trans agenda”: helping people feel seen, heard, and able to become who they are.

Plus: Explain Like I’m Cis, an alarming amount of knot-tying expertise, and the world’s tiniest trophy.
