About this listen

Jamie Raines is a psychologist, author and trans trailblazer who has built an audience of over 1M subscribers on YouTube.

On his YouTube channel, Jamie shares his journey, tackling trans issues with clarity, humour and heart. He’s also the author of The T in LGBT, a compassionate and informative guide to gender identity packed with personal stories and advice for trans people and allies alike.

In this powerful episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Jamie get into it: from childhood identity and coming out to the shame society projects on queer and trans people. They talk about the importance of family support, the brutal wait times for gender-affirming healthcare in the UK and how media narratives can fuel misunderstanding and harm.

Jamie opens up about his relationship with his wife, his affirming moment receiving his gender recognition certificate, and the ongoing fight for trans rights in the face of political and cultural pushback.
