You Must Be Some Kind of Therapist

What is the overarching perspective of a detransitioner as they move through their awakening journey? This week I am joined by Laura Becker, a detransitioner turned influencer who is featured on the recent documentary Affirmation Generation to talk about her journey through the detransition process and her recent experiences providing a safe space for others to do the same. 

Laura Becker is an artist and writer known for her funkedelic artist persona, "Funk God,” and her essays and speaking appearances describing her experiences as a detransitioned woman. She has been a notable voice of insight within the detransition movement, exploring ideas of gender, existentialism, spirituality, and psychoeducational concepts based in her personal journey healing from C-PTSD, identity, and mental health struggles. As a self-described "archetype of the eccentric artist", Laura promotes the values of her creative Funk God philosophy across all domains of her life and work: awareness, acceptance, balance, unity, love, and being groovy.

You can follow Laura @funkgodartist on Twitter and Instagram. You can find her art on her website and her writing is featured on substack. You can also support her on YouTube or Etsy, and she accepts donations for her work.
