Bernie Wagenblast has been using that deep, sonorous voice to inform and guide. Now, as a transgender woman, she uses it to inspire, mindful of the social and political upheaval in some parts of the United States.
She embraced the voice she had and pursued a career in radio, contributing to several stations in New York as an on-air traffic reporter.The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the country’s busiest public transit system, uses several announcers. Wagenblast's voice is heard on most numbered train lines. Another oft-heard message, “Stand clear of the closing doors, please,” is voiced by a different announcer, Charlie Pellett.
Wagenblast is mindful of all the strife and mental anguish suffered by transgender people still too afraid to become their true selves publicly, as she once was. Together, they raised three daughters. They separated right before Wagenblast began socially transitioning and presenting as a woman. Brownstein called coming out a double-edged sword that makes transgender communities more visible but also “brings you into the public eye and potentially makes you a target.”
