Being transgender is a life experience that many are confused about these days. Tons of misinformation flying around the interwebs, that can make us all really uncomfortable! When I met Deanna Jones (www.deannajonesnow.com) I knew she would be the perfect addition to the Dancing in the Discomfort Zone lineup! She has such an eloquent way of speaking about her experiences as a transgender woman, the good, the bad, and the ugly! She knew something different when she was 4 years old. (and this was in the 60s when transgender wasn’t even a word, and it didn’t even become a household conversation until decades later!) In this courageous interview, she shares her whole story. We talk about

· How long she hid her feelings, and how she illustrates to the people she works with how it felt (ingenious if you ask me!)

· When she finally came out, how it was handled at her workplace, and with her family.

· The new found joy and freedom she now has living her authentic self

· Her recent marriage, and the difference between Transgender and homosexual.

· Her response to the question of young trans kids going through a full transition.
