  • HRT in the Closet

    Will taking hormones inadvertantly out you? In this episode we answer a question from Dace who asks "If I’m on HRT will it become obvious to everyone? Is it a good idea or even possible to be on HRT and hide it from some people (i.e. family and friends who I think wouldn’t be ok with it)?"

  • Developing a Sense of Style



    A sense of style can show the world who you are, but how do you figure out your own sense of style? In this episode we answer a listener question from Steph who asks "I am a primarily feminine non-binary individual, born male. How does one go about developing a sense of style for one's new self?  I am trying to learn what feels right for me, but I do not have the education of someone that grew up female.  Also, do you have any advice for growing a brand new wardrobe?" We'll talk about finding different looks, keys to a robust wardrobe, and how to have fun figuring out your own sense of style.

  • How to Choose Your Name

    How do transgender people go about choosing a new name? In this episode we answer a listener question from Maddie. She asks "How did you ultimately decide on your female name? Did you create a list of names? Was it a painfully obvious choice that you'd known for years? Did you choose something that still had a connection to your male name? Or did you just try on different names until one finally stuck and felt right?"





    Be sure and check out the Social Security names database if you're looking to figure out common names from around the time you were born. And be sure and check out Faith's new novel American Transgirl.
