New Yorkers are probably most familiar with Bernie Wagenblast's deep staccato voice from the subway. It's her words that are pieced together to form announcements. But after coming out as a trans woman, a lot of things have changed — including her voice.

So it was a dream come true to be in this kind of a situation.Bernie Wagenblast:

This would be an opportunity to say it in my own words. That was what was important to me. I wanted this to be said in my own words and not for people to hear about it in quiet conversations with, oh, did you hear about Bernie Wagenblast, or something like that.
