Today’s episode is a deeply powerful conversation with Daisy, a trans woman who has just turned 60 and is finally living as herself.

Daisy shares her journey on hormone replacement therapy, and opens up about a painful childhood, including being bullied and surviving a rape at knife point at the age of 13. She talks about how those experiences shaped her, and the long road to finally choosing herself.

We also talk about her life right now, preparing to come out to her wife, her three children and three grandchildren, and how she paused her transition for years to be there for her family before finally stepping into her truth.

This is a story about courage, healing, and what it means to live authentically later in life. Daisy is an inspiration for anyone who feels it might be too late.

Today on Trans Crush Cheza talks about something we do not hear enough about, what it is actually like transitioning as a teenager.

She shares her journey starting puberty blockers at 13, going on hormones at 16, and having surgery at 21, and how having a supportive family and safe environment completely changed the outcome of her life.

We also talk about why puberty blockers matter so much for trans teens. How they can give young people time, space and safety while they figure themselves out, and why for many they are life saving gender affirming care.

And of course we get into the politics around it, why it is so heavily debated right now, and what it means that access has been restricted for under 18s in the UK.

It is an honest, important conversation about growing up trans young, and what support can actually do when it is given at the right time.
