Periods. Pubes. Pit-stains. Three completely normal parts of having a body, so why do we spend so much time hiding them?

In this episode of I'm the Xaddy, I explore the shame, expectations, and gendered assumptions surrounding periods, body hair, and sweat through the lens of being a non-binary person navigating pregnancy.

From growing up believing periods were something to hide to experiencing fertility treatment and pregnancy, I reflect on how my relationship with my body has changed over time. I also talk about body hair, the pressure to appear "clean" or feminine, and why non-binary people are often expected to perform androgyny. Finally, we tackle sweat, one of the most natural human functions that society still treats as embarrassing.

This episode is an honest conversation about body acceptance, pregnancy, gender identity, fertility, body image, and letting go of impossible expectations.
