The power of voice: Ben Pechey on identity, law & living authentically
In this emotionally powerful episode of the PRsonal Podcast, host Charlotte Nichols is joined by Ben Pechey – author, LGBTQIA+ educator, consultant, and content creator – for a candid conversation about identity, advocacy, allyship, and navigating life in the face of discriminatory legal guidance.
Ben shares their raw response to the UK Supreme Court’s recent decision on the legal definition of a woman, offering vital clarity on how such rulings affect the safety, dignity, and wellbeing of trans and non-binary communities. With openness and vulnerability, they discuss the real-life impact of growing up during the Section 28 era, being bullied at school, and the ongoing challenges of being a visible trans person online.
From the emotional weight of content creation to their advocacy for inclusive workplace policies and mental health support, Ben reminds us of the importance of creating spaces that are educational, affirming, and rooted in compassion.
