In this episode of Trans Crush, Pavie sits down with the incredible Dani St James. Dani shares her journey from becoming one of the first trans women to appear on a British dating show to founding Not A Phase, a charity dedicated to supporting and uplifting trans adults across the UK. She also talks about building ZOAH and creating products designed with the trans community in mind.
We talk about:
• The work Not A Phase is doing across the UK, from support groups and community events to fitness programmes like Misfits.
• What trans representation looked like when Dani first stepped into the public eye and how things have changed over the years.
• Her appearance on First Dates and the unexpected full circle moment that came with it.
• The impact recent legal developments have had on the trans community and how she stays grounded through difficult times.
• Why visibility matters and the importance of creating spaces where people feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
• Her approach to self care, confidence, and showing up as herself every day.
