No apology necessary, Kacey. My name (which is my real name) has made it more memorable. It's German and spelled like wagen in Volkswagen, with an "e" instead of an "o."

Raising trans visibility is one of my life goals. I never know where it’s going to take me. Last night it was being the public address announcer for a half inning at the Brooklyn Cyclones game.

I’m not sure what would be in it but how about Speonk or Quogue?

In Transit

Hey there, Bluesky friends & followers! What (if anything) would you like to see me post about? I'm known for a couple of things. One is transportation communications and the other is being a fairly public trans woman. Here's an example where they intersect: www.intransit.nyc/short-film

The voice that says "Stand clear of the closing doors please" is my friend Charlie Pellett. I'm the voice in the numbered line stations telling you how long before your train arrives and, "Please stand away from the platform edge."

I hope it was a positive shaking to your core!

Thanks, Brian! Without fail when I do the "subway voice" for audiences it's met with a mix of cheers, laughter and applause.

Yes, it was recent. It was recorded just a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for highlighting my new Franklin Square announcement! First time I’ve heard it being played in service.

I'm not seeing where I can delete this comment. It doesn't appear to be one of the options on the pull-down menu.

Bernie Wagenblast, the iconic voice of @mta.info subways, has a message, the day after the feds took the letter "T" referring to trans people, off websites about the Stonewall National Monument. @thecity.bsky.social

Thank you for your support! You don't know how much it means. At a time when many in positions of power have come out against trans and non-binary people, it gives me strength and hope to see those who know me express their love. πŸ³οΈβ€βš§οΈ #trans #transgender

And I'll have you know that I read this while on Amtrak traveling from Burlington, VT to NYC!
