This powerful episode is centered on family as Layne talks with two of his aunts, both from different states, about how his transition has affected them, what they've learned and how they think it has impacted the family. This meaningful discussion shares two different sides of the transition; from the perspective of relatives coming to terms with a big change and of Layne, coming to terms with himself. He also shares what he hates and loves about being Trans this month and... you'll never guess what happened! Listen and share!
