My main question for Brie is: throughout Brie's transformation how has that effected her work life and are there available resources for her at her job? A small lighthearted question I had is: is there a video idea that she would like Kitchen and Jorn to do (whether it be on a serious topic or just them having a silly, goofy time)?

Ooo. I have some. 1) What parts of transitioning were surprisingly underwhelming? Meaning, what did you think was going to be bigger deal/be harder that was actually just business as usual. 2) What change in a facet of your identity has surprised you the most as you've gone through all this self reflection, change, and realization? 3) Just would love to hear a recent funny story or anecdote of something Brie did that had Kristen and/or Jen howling with laughter.

I work with a male-to-female transgender coworker, and we get along famously well. I know she was married in the past, and it’s openly known between us that she is transgender, but I don’t know how to ask questions to get to know her that I normally wouldn’t blink to ask anyone else. For example: “Do you have any kids?” Or “What was your marriage like?” Or even more specific things like….has it been hard for you along this journey? Can I do anything to be supportive? I’m trying so carefully to be respectful, but I also find myself walking on eggshells I wouldn’t normally be walking on because I’m trying to be so conscientious and also not define her by the fact that she is transgender. Can you offer tips? I want to be friends, but I’m so scared to stick my foot in my mouth. Thanks in advance for any advice Brie, Kitchen, and Jorn. 🥰 (Also, Brie, congrats on your continued journey!!!

No questions, just want to shout out that I’m so damn proud of you for doing this girl! You are strong and it’s so amazing to be able to share your story with others. I know it must take so much mental strength to do this. We love you, Brie!!!

I have sooooooooo(♾️ o's) many questions, but I think I've narrowed down my list 😋 1. Wellbeing - how are you doing, in general? 2. Insurance - What was the process like getting insurance involved & do you have tips for others who need it? 3. Mental Health - I've heard y'all talk about going to counseling. If you've continued it, how has it helped with the pre/post surgery process? 4. MH - What advice would you give for someone who is looking for a counselor for pre/post gender confirming surgery, as well as advice for the potential counselor? TY 😘

Post-op comfort food? What about a comfort show/book? What's getting you through the healing process? Wish her a speedy recovery <3

With insurance, birth certificate, marriage license, and social security number; how easy or hard has it been to get everything legally changed over? How has your surgery helped with how people (strangers and non-strangers alike) view you? Thank you for being willing to help inform people of your experience! Your willingness to speak up in a non-judgmental way helps others be willing to understand and more willing to learn and love.

What outfit is your favorite outfit to wear now that your body is different? Is it similar to your favorite(s) before and just fits more how you want it to, or is it now completely different? Is there a feature you enjoy showing off now that you were a little shy about before? Are there any next steps you’re planning for your transition, or are you going to wait a while/stop here? (Obviously do not feel obligated to share your medical history/future if you do not want. I just enjoy learning about each person’s unique journey and why that journey is the right one for them) You look so great and I’m so happy you were able to pursue this! I hope you’re doing great and healing well!

I'm just so excited to see Brie's continued journey and I'm so grateful that she has been so gracious in allowing others to have a glimpse into the process. I love her style and I honestly make mental notes of all of the Kristin and Brie outfits to add to my closet 😁

What is it like to shop for outfits in a market that seems both inclusive and yet behind on accommodating diverse body types? What is your go-to garment?

Totally fine if you don’t wanna answer this, but are you still taking voice lessons? Or is it getting easier to talk in a “lady voice”? Also how are you feeling physically? Still sore? Hope you’re doing ok! ❤️

I'm considering top surgery but it's very expensive, at what point did you decide it was worth it? Were you able to get any of it paid in insurance and if so what medical steps did you need to get authorization?

You guys explained in the video that with everything she had done, she couldn’t put any pressure basically on any side of her body. So how was she able to sleep? Also how was the ride back home? The bumps in the road must’ve felt awful

My girlfriend is pre-op for any gender affirming surgeries, what emotional changes should I should be aware of / expect in the future post-surgery? What support from Kristin was the most helpful during recovery? P.S. I love seeing Brie come into her own personal style!!

What's your favorite accsess tool you've used in post-op care? Discovering full body wipes for me was a game changer lol

How has the recovery been in the mental health region, the body goes through A LOT in that situation and I was wondering if the mental health was ‘better’ or worse than the physical health aftermath. Also CONGRATS
