Born Like Trans: Reowning Gender Identity

What does it mean to build a life that feels true—in your art, your body, and your identity?

Clara Reinisch is one of the two transgender women I interviewed during Pride Month. She is a talented classical pianist from Germany currently studying in Vienna whose eyes remind me of Anne Hathaway.

I sat down with her for a conversation that traces a deeply personal and politically charged journey of becoming. We talked about the full arc of a transgender life—the experience of being born, growing up, and transforming in a world that questions your right to exist at every turn.

This interview dives into:

  • The early awareness of identity and the emotional weight of that realization

  • What “transition” means in the trans community, psychologically, physically and socially

  • The evolving meaning of femininity and the weight it carries

  • True allyship beyond rainbow logos and performative support

This is not just a story of transition.
It’s a story of resistance and tenderness.
Of navigating a world where survival itself becomes a daily act of courage.

This conversation is part of Fem Renaissance’s ongoing series amplifying voices living at the edge of culture—and pushing the world forward from there.
