"I Transitioned in 1977 at 15" | Mardi’s Powerful Story as an Older Trans Woman 🏳️⚧️
Meet Marilyn Pieronek—aka Mardi—a 63-year-old Canadian trans woman whose honest and moving life story has gone viral online. From running away at 15 to survive on Vancouver’s Davie Street, to overcoming addiction, sex work, and stigma, Mardi’s journey is one of resilience, grief, and hope.
Now sober, she shares her story through her podcast A Life Lived Trans and online content, leaving testimony for the many trans friends she lost along the way. Her message is clear: trans elders matter, and their history needs to be heard.
