A reporter on Des Moines-area news channel WOI-TV came out as transgender in an Oct. 4 interview that introduced her all over again to viewers, starting with her name: Nora J.S. Reichardt. "Reichardt has been a reporter at the station for about a year, appearing on TV screens across central Iowa under a different name as she sorted out how to be an on-air journalist and her true self ― a transgender woman," the Des Moines Register reported. The article went on to transcribe Reichardt's poignant following words, which she addressed directly to viewers in a video essay: "I didn't know if there was a place and a space for me to do this sort of work that I've really come to love and enjoy, while also getting to be myself." In the news clips, the text of which WeAreIowa posted online, Reichardt said that now that she's living and identifying publicly as a woman, she is "feeling more and more at home in my body than I really ever did before," and described a life-long sense that she was "a person who's wearing my body, and not a person who's living in it." "And I've had those feelings almost as long as I can remember," Reichardt went on to add.⁠ ⁠ Tap link in bio for more on @EDGEmedianetwork ⁠ ???️‍⚧️
