But you are wearing women's jeans, right? The journey of being transgender
with George Evans
This conversation with George Evans is unlike ANY conversation I've had before!
George is a trans male, meaning he was born female and is now male. He has been living life as George for 11 years now and he gave me an all-access pass to what his journey has been like.
He said, "Adam, I want you to be that friend with no filter. As I'm telling my story, ask ANY question and make ANY comments that come to your mind. Literally just blurt them out. If you're thinking these things, then others are as well, and this platform is a great opportunity to talk about them in a safe space and educate people on what a transgender person may actually be thinking, feeling, and dealing with."
I tried my best, I promise!
Oh and the reason I ever got connected to George is because I saw a post he made on LINKEDIN that he is transgender. I immediately reached out because I admired his vulnerability and courage and felt such a desire to learn more and get his message out to as many people as possible.
