This thought-provoking discussion delves into Laura’s personal experiences and the unique challenges she faced, both during and after her transition. Moreover, the conversation tackles the troubling anti-Trans biases that persist even within the LGBTQ+ community, shedding light on the voices that advocate for an 'LGB without the T'.
