Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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
Q: How do you feel about that?
I think a lot of parents or family members might not understand the seriousness of it, which can cause frustration.
37. Feeling unsafe in public as a trans woman
Q: What if this whole transition gets wrong?
There's always a possibility that it's not 100% the right thing for that person, but you won't know if you don't try it out.
