NPR's Book of the Day - Lucy Sante’s memoir reflects on her experience coming out as transgender in her 60s

Lucy Sante says it was a smartphone app that ultimately pushed her to come out to herself — and the world — as trans in her mid 60s. In her new memoir, I Heard Her Call My Name, the writer and professor chronicles how using the gender swap function on FaceApp ultimately opened a brand new life to her. And she tells NPR's Don Gonyea that though there are a lot of complexities to having that kind of realization later in life, there are also a lot of positive outcomes.

In this episode, the Goods from the Woods Boys are hangin' at Disgraceland Studios with the absolutely hilarious comedian and podcaster, Babs Gray!
