Mianne Bagger: Trans - We’re Not A Voice for Women

Listen to this episode from Insightful on Spotify. Mianne Bagger transitioned in the 1990s. In 2004, she became the first openly transitioned woman to play in a professional golf tournament. She describes herself as “transexual”, not “transgender” - and thinks too many people are now being lumped under the trans label and that gender activism is too loud. She’s all about doing life her own way. She tells the story of when she decided to hand over the keys to her house, realising that the conventional way of living was not for her. Now, home is a van, where she cooks and sleeps and travels where she wants, visiting friends along the way.
