Today’s episode is one of the most powerful conversations to ever happen on TDA. Our guest, Stephanie Thompson, opens her life with honesty, courage and emotional clarity as she walks us through a journey marked by childhood trauma, identity confusion, public transition and spiritual restoration.

Stephanie shares how moving to Jamaica as a child exposed her to a dangerous environment where grooming and abuse became normalised. She describes, in heartbreaking detail, how two separate assaults at age twelve stole her innocence and reshaped her relationship with her own body, her identity and the world around her. Returning to the UK, she buried the trauma and threw herself into friendships, online personas and eventually the Black LGBT scene where she sought belonging, protection and a way to rewrite who she was.

Her story moves into her years living as Stefan, a trans man, documenting the deep psychological shifts brought on by testosterone, the urgency to remove parts of her body to ease her inner turmoil, and the spiralling attempts to mould her external identity into something that felt safer than being a woman. She explains the emotional cost of misgendering, the paranoia in everyday public life, the breakdown of relationships and the painful truth that transitioning never resolved the ache at the core.

But the most transformative part of her story is her return to faith, where she finally confronted the trauma she had buried for almost two decades. Stephanie speaks about repentance, healing, forgiveness, and the courage it took to reclaim her womanhood after years of public advocacy as a trans man. Her reflections are raw, thoughtful and unflinchingly honest.

This episode is not sensational. It is human. It is layered. And it is a rare window into the complexity of identity, trauma, survival and redemption. Stephanie’s vulnerability turns this conversation into one of the most important testimonies shared on the platform.
