27. Who has it harder, trans men or trans women?
It’s a question that stirs up a lot of feelings in the community — so we’re diving in, transparently. In this episode, we unpack the stereotypes, privileges, and challenges that shape trans men’s and trans women’s experiences. No competition, just conversation. Join us as we talk nuance, share personal stories, and remind everyone that we’re stronger when we lift each other up.
Two lifelong best friends—one a trans man, the other a trans woman—share honest, unfiltered conversations about transitioning, identity, and everything in between. From hormones to relationships, misconceptions to everyday wins, they bring humor, heart, and real-life experience to the table. It’s not always pretty, but it’s always real. Tune in for laughs, insight, and a deeper look at what it really means to be trans.
