‘Naked And Afraid’ Features Its First Ever Trans Woman
Naked and Afraid history this week as the long-running series’ first-ever trans woman to brave the wilds nude.“People like me don’t get chosen for things like this,” she shared. “I am trans and I don’t care who knows it.
What defines me is not how I look or how I act, it’s what I do in my life. The things I do in my life are f******* epic.” For those unfamiliar with the series, now in its 14th season, every episode focuses on two strangers who are dropped off in the wilderness without food, water, gear — or clothes.
They are tasked with surviving for 21 days together.Terra, a lifelong bow hunter and U.S. Air Force veteran made it the full 21 days in Pia Manzi in Zambia, armed with a just knife, thanks to her being “absolutely prepared” to take on the challenge.
It’s not even the most challenging thing the Florida native has had to do in her life.“Transitioning is the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but so worth it,” Terra shared.She began her transition four years ago but, because of the premise of the show, she did have to be open about the fact that she has yet to have bottom surgery.
