In this episode, Saskhia talks about the struggle of being literally unheard growing up with two deaf parents. Having to adjust when her mum left home and then being put into the care system. She tells me about her decision to sacrifice her true identity for her children’s safe upbringing and how she is now living as her true self and being an inspiration for other trans women in music!
“And I think, you know, the more people see things and the more people are educated and they see this representation that I talk about, then it changes perceptions of us as a community because we are stigmatised, we are laughed at, we are joked about, we are misunderstood and there's so many different variations now.
You have transvestites, you have transsexuals, you have all different types of non binary, and we're all different. Um, you know, I've actually had full surgery. I actually take hormones. I actually live like this full time. Like, my passport’s changed, everything about my life is completely different type was before. So I think sometimes people don't know these things, you know, it's not their fault. They just haven't been educated in it.”
