In this episode of The Lab Podcast, we sit down with James Bennett, author of Spilling the Tea, to discuss his journey through transition, identity, and the challenges of navigating relationships and community as a trans man.

James shares insights from his book, reflecting on 10 years of transition, the emotional process of writing, and the importance of representation. We dive into topics like:

• The reality of transition beyond physical changes

• Finding (and struggling to find) community in the LGBTQ+ space

• How fitness and mental health played a role in his journey

• Managing fear, anxiety, and staying true to yourself

• Writing as therapy and the challenges of publishing a memoir

If you’re looking for an honest and insightful conversation on what it really means to grow, change, and live authentically, this episode is for you.
