Out in the Bay Queer Radio: A Transgender Experience in Talk and Song

Hear about transgender issues from musician Nick Lawrence, a family coach and former foster-parent educator on LGBTQ topics. His latest album “I Am a Man” is about his own transition. In original songs and in this talk with Out in the Bay Queer Radio host Eric Jansen, Lawrence dives into emotional and physical details, demystifying the transition process with passion, grace and humor. He includes tips for people considering transition and for parents who may be wondering about their kids. Lawrence calls himself a changeling: “I was a daughter and a son, a mother and a father, a brother and a sister, a grandma and grandpa. I was a heterosexual woman, a bi woman, a lesbian, a straight guy, a bi guy and a gay guy. I’ve hit all the stops,” he says with a laugh. “Each one has its own realm of blessing and joy.” (Note: the discussion is frank and includes some graphic medical details.) see more
