Samantha Allen, award-winning journalist and author ofReal Queer America, delivers an intimate look at the unexpectedly hilarious moments of her gender transition.In this poignant audio piece, Samantha Allen takes listeners along for the wild ride of her own transition: The good, the bad, but mostly, the funny.

Recognizing these moments of humor brought her joy in times she needed it most - and sharing them, she learned, could be revelatory.Part deeply personal memoir, part comedic adventure, and part insightful exploration of how gender informs the ways we see the world,M to (WT)Fis a delightful listen that proves how powerful it can be to find humor in hardship.If you are interested in learning more about transgender and non-binary advocacy, we encourage you to visit the official websites of the Transgender Legal Defense and Education Fund (tldef.org) and Mermaids (mermaidsuk.org.uk).Read more
