In this episode of Intersecting Vices, we sit down with Kim Sabate, a 35-year-old transgender woman from the Philippines now living in the UK, to explore her journey of gender identity, transition, survival, and self-discovery.

Kim opens up about:

• Coming out and transitioning at 22 in the Philippines

• Escaping an abusive relationship and reclaiming her voice

• How her family and community responded to her transition

• Starting over in the UK and navigating a new culture

• Finding purpose in diversity, equity, and inclusion work

• The real impact of recent UK gender rulings on trans lives

This is a story about resilience, authenticity, and what it really means to find yourself—even when the world resists your existence. Whether you’re trans, an ally, or just human, Kim’s story will challenge you to think deeper about identity, belonging, and what it takes to thrive.
