As a special 50th Episode, I speak with Louise Richardson, a transgender woman whose transition in the 1970s demonstrates how - despite many strides made in society - the transgender experience is no better understood.  Louise is an author, poet, and playwright whose work can be seen, heard, and read across many media.  Louise and I discuss topics as diverse as early transgender community, how gender transition has changed, and how the girl next door always keeps you guessing.REFERENCES:Follow Louise on YouTube:  https://www.youtube.com/@snardflukBuy Louise's books on Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B00M7RGA8AFollow Louise on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/snardflukFollow Louise on Soundcloud:  https://soundcloud.com/louise-gail-richardson(00:00) - Opening credits
