“Today’s episode explores Dr. Jaime Hoerricks’ experience of autistic and trans emergence, particularly in relation to their first year on HRT. They frame this period not as a transformation, but a return to resonance, allowing them to become a “receiver” of their own internal language and being. Dr. Hoerricks discusses how language, sensory processing, and identity have shifted, moving from dissonance and static to a state of harmony and clarity, allowing them to communicate and understand themselves in a way that feels authentic and joyful. Ultimately, they celebrate the emergence of an authentic self and the inherent political nature of autistic and trans joy in a world that often seeks to erase or define these experiences.”
