In this episode of Dear Grad Student, Elana chats with 3rd year Counseling Psychology PhD Student, Lex Pulice-Farrow, about their experience as a transgender student in grad school. They discuss Lex's research in the positive aspects of being trans, definitions of key words used throughout the episode, the unique experiences and needs of trans students, advice for cisgender students on how to be *actionable* allies, and Lex gives an award-winning, war-ending speech at the end for fellow trans students.
