Just Trying to Live with LouLou

Today's episode features the incredible Louise, or LouLou, and what life as a T Elder means. LouLou is just a lass trying to live her life, a transgender advocate, and hostess of 'The T Elders' podcast. We get pretty dang philosophical about topics as diverse as preventing gatekeeping within the transgender community, how gender never stops evolving, and Dickens's lesser-known novel, "Nancy Twist."
