In this essential episode of The B-Side, we hear from Orianna, a bisexual M to F trans woman, on the raw realities of navigating identity, love, and safety. Orianna discusses the pivotal intersection of being both trans and bi, exploring the journey of finding genuine belonging where inclusion often only exists "on paper." We delve into the complexities of dating as a polyamorous, sapphic-aligned trans woman—from confronting stereotypes and chasers to reclaiming power in D/S spaces. Finally, we discuss how trauma shapes trust, and what real, actionable allyship looks like for the trans community. Hosted by Marie, Ares, and Slaine.
