Looking back on our conversation with Aaron Terrell from October 2021, it’s clear how insightful and relevant his perspective remains. Aaron transitioned from female to male in 2011, but it wasn’t until years later—around 2017—that he started engaging with the trans community and social media. What caught his attention were the shifting trends in female-to-male transitioners, patterns that didn’t quite align with his own experience.
Then, earlier that year, Aaron read J.K. Rowling’s now-famous essay, and it became a turning point for him. Our discussion explored what changed for him in that moment—how it reshaped his understanding of gender, transition, and the broader cultural conversation.
Reflecting on that episode today, it stands out as an important conversation about personal experience, evolving perspectives, and the complexity of identity in a rapidly changing world.
