Hold på hat og briller; i denne episode taler vi med Rosa som er transkvinde og vi skal bredt omkring! Vi kommer bla. ind på dating, selv-accept, samfundskritik og alt mellem kvinde og mand. Vi dykker ind i et virvar af længsler og følelser, der kan opstå når mødet med begæret er fyldt med ambivalens, udråbstegn og spørgsmålstegn. Gør klar til grin, refleksion og vrede, men mest af alt lykken, der opstår, når man endelig finder hjem i sit rigtige jeg.

Guest: Rosa Frederikke, transkvinde, hun/hende

Alright, community, time to buckle up and show up! The Pond is the only queer café and bookstore in Copenhagen, and it needs your support! Every café needs community support, and so if I may; choose The Pond when you want a cup of coffee or a fizzy drink. And better still; you can buy books in all the colors of the rainbow! So... Looking for a gift? Go to the Pond! Want a quiet space? Go the Pond :)! It’s in the heart of Nørrebro! SPREAD THE WORD, PLEASE AND THANK YOU <3

Alright, next up; today we’re speaking to one of the owners of The Pond; Wilma. Wilma has, somehow, managed to live several lives being just 26 years old, including working within dancing, as a drag artist, a cartoon artist, a book reviewer, and much more. They kindly share who they are “behind the counter”, and what dreams and ideas have formed them and their gender identity. Queering gender comes with obstacles, but seemingly, Wilma gives very few f*cks after all. You’ll probably feel inspired to start your own queer business after this episode - and please do! Enjoy :)

Art: And then the grey heaven, book by RE Katz. Order it at your local bookstore (!), for example… The Pond ;) https://www.thepondcph.com/

Nice to know: The Pond is publishing a end-of-year special, and it'll be full of goodies and inspiration! Follow them to stay tuned! And hear more about it in the episode ;)

CN: Selvmord omtales fra 30.50-34.20 i episoden.

 Hoodi er en 17-årig boble af viden, analyse og filosofiske refleksioner om liv og køn, og hun er spring fyldt at inspirerende tanker om at være til og være den man er. Med hendes ord er det værste man kan gøre at ”stå stille eller gå baglæns”, for det er kun ved at bevæge sig frem, at man virkelig lever – og så er det helt okay at ændre retning undervejs, for man bliver jo klogere på sig selv og omverden hele livet. I skolen og i sin familie har hun oplevet støtte og stortrives med sine venner, så hvis du mangler lidt positivitet og en let og rar fortælling om et transliv, så lyt til Hoodi <3  

Værk: To you I am obscene, but to me I simply am by Schmrgl. Citat originalt fra Mary Shelley's bog Frankenstein.

It’s time to get juicy! In this episode, we hear from Elijah who shares how sexual exploration for him is similar to the exploration of life itself, not to mention gender identity. In fact, you’re in for a treat; he reads out a snippet of his erotica poetry, and I can promise you, your imagination will be… activated. Further to this, Elijah also let us in on tough experiences of blatant racism and transphobia, so make sure to listen with your activist heart and remind yourself to speak up in the face of injustice, and don’t be like the bystanders you’ll hear about in this episode. Brace yourself for all the feels <3

I denne helt unikke episode taler jeg med Emily, som for første gang nogensinde sætter på hendes overvejelser, bekymringer og drømme om (måske) at leve som kvinde i fremtiden. Det er ikke nemt at finde hoved og hale i ens tanker, specielt når der ikke er nogen queer og transpersoner i Emilys netværk, ligesom emnet transkønnethed aldrig har været på tale i hendes familie og vennekreds. Lyt med og hør en vaskeægte samtale mellem mig, der har været ude i 10+ år og Emily, der endnu ikke ved om hun overhovedet er trans, og alligevel modigt har turde sætte ord på sine tanker, lade sig optage og publicere denne episode.

OBS: Hvis du ønsker at tilbyde en støttende hånd/snak til Emily, så kommentér på Instagramopslaget – så kan hun se dig og række ud.

Mangler du lidt nul-fuck-badass energi? Så lyt med, mens Kenneth sender det ud til os gennem æteren. Kenneth bruger nemlig 0% energi på skam og frygt, og har en grundlæggende tro på at det er samfundet, der er fucked – ikke transpersoner, og ikke Kenneth (word!). Kenneth er ikke-binær, og fortæller i denne episode om at lære sig selv mere og mere at kende igennem fællesskaber og mødet med andre transpersoner. For Kenneth er og har rave-scenen været afgørende for Kenneths livskvaliteten, så i denne episode får du også indblik i hvordan rave-scenen omfavner forskelligheder og indbyder til oplevelser og samvær.

In this episode we hear from Aube, who’s a French scholar living in Denmark. Aube brilliantly shares heartwarming and deeply personal experiences whilst drizzling the episode with thorough theory and research. As such, both your heart and mind will be put at work in the best possible way. This episode is a nod of gratitude to our deepest calling – daring to notice and follow it, even when it takes us through fear and unknown territory.

Faun Vium – et navn der drager, right? Det samme gør hendes tankestrøm og rolige nærvær. Faun er transfeminin og for hende er trans et kontinuerligt stræk i en elastik af kønsforståelse, det er ganske simpelt ”mere end”. Vi dykker ned i hvordan kunst, og særligt Fauns billedkunst, danser med transhed (eller ej) og hvordan hun selv har brugt kunst til at forvalte, fortolke og forhandle sin selvforståelse og transhed. Faun hverken kan eller vil efterstræbe passability, for det ville kræve for store ofringer af hendes autentiske jeg – men det er nogle gange nemmere sagt end gjort, for der kan være spørgsmål om sikkerhed, der banker på. Med Faun i ørerne bliver dit nervesystem en tand roligere, enjoy <3

Transness is curiosity about this human experience, it’s being in right relationship with nature and it's the space between our cells. Such words of profound wisdom are weaved carefully into this touching episode featuring Cosmo. 

Listening to Cosmo is pure bliss in your ear canals, nudging you a little closer to the divine, to nature and your ancestry. To Cosmo, stories are spells for the future, and as such, sharing stories and sensing them deeply is a way to create the future we need. When you listen to this episode, listen with your heart.
