The Queer Carter Podcast
Are you a Transgender or a Gender Non-Conforming person? Are you LGBTQIA+? Are you a supportive family member or friend? No matter who you are or where you are on your own journey, if you want to feel instantly connected, informed, and inspired on the complex journey of gender transition this podcast is for you. Host Queer Carter, an openly Transgender Transmasculine person, provides a strong sense of inspiring interviews, resources, role models, and community so that you can stop searching for hope in time of transition. Laugh, cry, and relate with real stories from courageous Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming peers and allies just like you who too grapple with their own identity, especially in the context of traditional American values – family, military, small business, education, faith, and more. A mix of interviews, special co-hosts, solo shows, and more, infused with vulnerable honesty, relatable humor, and energized passion. Hit subscribe, and get ready to live your most fulfilled, and authentic life, unapologetically, as you.
