In this episode of the Big Bad Broadcast, our guest is Heather J, a trans female comedian who shares her unique journey in comedy and beyond. We kick things off with some light banter about squirrels and their antics, which leads to a deeper conversation about personal struggles and societal issues.

Heather opens up about her experiences coming out as transgender and the challenges she faced, including her relationship with her family. We explore the misconceptions surrounding the trans community and the importance of understanding and acceptance. Heather shares her story of how she accidentally became a sex worker while navigating her identity, providing a candid look at her life and the humor she finds in her experiences.

Throughout the episode, we discuss the significance of comedy as a tool for connection and healing, especially within marginalized communities. Heather's show, "Being Trans is Funny," aims to inspire and uplift younger trans individuals, while her other show, "Tranny Problems," allows her to delve into more adult themes with humor.
