Part 2. Interview w/a trans man living in rural Texas (Other Conversations, March 2023)
Part 2 of 2. Interview with a trans man living in rural Texas. We discuss his relationships including how I'm the second trans person he's ever met, the stress that trans people endure, how he deals with friends of his who are anti-trans, dealing with addiction in his family, the need for and how to increase healthcare access, libertarian vs anarchist ideas, his desire to start testosterone, head hair loss and growing facial hair, how we still have shame and don't look at ourselves in mirrors, modern dating via apps, how Texas and Alaska (and rural communities) are often ignored by the media, the hypocrisy of "green" gentrification in former ranching areas, his advice for living as a trans person in a rural area, and his dreams of owning his own ranch.
We go on a lot of tangents and had a good time talking since we both grew up in rural areas.

Other Conversations is an independent, informal oral history project by Shane Brodie, a multi-issue activist and sculptor. This project is on hiatus as of Fall 2023 as I continue to slowly upload previous interviews, but it may continue later on in 2024 or thereafter. If you are interested in being interviewed sometime in the future, please email me (see below) and we can talk about that privately.
In this project, I've striven for thoughtful content from a variety of points of view. I also haven't allowed comments because I want to limit harassment of my interviewees. This means that my project is barely treading water in the tsunami of anti-trans content on social media. If you've found these interviews interesting, please "like" and share them.
In this project, I interviewed transgender, nonbinary, gender non-conformist, agendered, neutrois, and intersex people who are anarchist, independent, conservative, egalitarian, progressive, free speech and gun rights enthusiasts, rural, religious, atheist, voluntaryist, mutualist, apolitical, skeptical, constitutionalist, classic liberal, libertarian, small political party members, socialist, DSA, communist, radical, revolutionary, or have a mixture of right/left views etc.
If you want to contact Shane, please email him at [email protected]
Thanks!
