I‘m becoming a mom in a few months and since parenthood is really dominated by cis-hets, I really got excited when I found this podcast. I immediately found out, that this podcast is not about trans parenthood and that I was too dumb to understand its title, but I kept listening because the two hosts are so likable, their stories entertaining, informative and sometimes relatable. ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Is packing/tucking supposed to be painful?
Q: What should someone consider when deciding how to tuck safely and comfortably in daily life?
Choose properly sized, dedicated tucking underwear with a snug fit and appropriate coverage, avoid excessive layering or tape, and rotate styles to find what sits comfortably during different activities.
How does HRT affect ADHD?
Q: For the listener's question: how taking hormones has affected your ADHD, did it get worse or better and what changes have you noticed?
The host explains that ADHD presents additional challenges for a trans person, including managing prescriptions, blood tests, and navigating delays in care. ADHD medication helps significantly, but they are unsure about a direct correlation between hormones and ADHD; some positive changes include reduced hyperfocus on certain topics and better focus on things they enjoy, though overall impact is nuanced and individual.
42. The episode all about SEX (pt.2)
Q: How do you manage anxiety and feeling rejected when your partner doesn't want to have sex?
Remember that no one owes anyone sex, and that it could simply be a matter of timing and mood.
41. Feeling left out in lgbtq+ spaces
Q: What do you want us to restock?
I really want an Atlas miniskirt.
41. Feeling left out in lgbtq+ spaces
