Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

33. We almost got robbed!
Q: Hey, I've been watching this podcast for the last couple of weeks, and I wonder if you can help me. I'm AFAB, but thanks to therapy, I'm slowly realizing that I might be trans. I've acted, dressed, etc. more like a boy than a girl. I still keep a feminine side, even though I hate it, because I'm scared that others will make fun of me if I act like a boy while still having feminine features.
It's important to experiment and try being more masculine, even if it's in very small, subtle steps.
31. Does the term "Protect the dolls" exclude trans men?
Q: How do you deal with people who don't want to use the correct pronouns?
One host suggests meeting them at their level, providing resources, or having an open conversation to express the importance of being understood.
30. Benji had top surgery!!!!!!
Q: How did you feel leading up to the surgery?
I was very nervous but also really excited; the anticipation was tough.
27. Who has it harder, trans men or trans women?
Q: How do you face dysphoria in your days? Do you still have them?
The hosts discuss their varying experiences with dysphoria, emphasizing that while it may lessen over time, it can manifest during specific moments.
21. Fuck, Marry, Kill
Q: I love being trans, but I miss being gay. Is that weird?
It's not weird, many trans individuals experience similar feelings of loss regarding their identity and community during transition.
