Despite what his parents told him, at the age of four, Seth Compton knew he was not a girl. But it wasn’t until the age of 43 that Seth made the biggest decision of his life — to transition from female to male. In this episode, Seth shares the personal, social, professional, and medical factors that shaped his decision, and also the people that inspired him — including mainstream media personalities like Ellen Degeneres, other community members, and most importantly, his wife and two kids. Seth believes his journey is different because he had a lot more support than many others who choose this pathway, especially as a child. In 2019, Seth founded OUTLoud North Bay as a community centre for 2SLGBTQ youth in Northern Ontario.

Seth’s new book, “A Life In Two Halves” is on pre-order now!
