So in this episode we explore the existential question; if there was a magic cure for transgender feelings, would you take it?

We're excited that this week the Gender Rebels had a special guest. The host of one of our favorite podcasts, Minnesota Trans Atheist, stopped by to share her thoughts on coming out transgender at work, the best ways to communicate with religious proselytizers, and raising kids atheist. And most importantly of all, we answer perhaps the greatest questions facing humankind today; is there any good evidence out there to prove the existence of Sasquatches?

For people who are transitioning there are many important "firsts." First time presenting as their chosen gender, first day on HRT, first voice lesson, first time meeting family as the real you. And of course, the first time at the beach. With limited clothing being the norm, the beach can be an especially stressful situation for transgender people. It can also be a lot of fun. 

In this episode, your hosts Kath and Faith discuss their recent trip to the Rockaways, and transgender girl Faith's first time as a woman at the beach. 

If you'd like to read more, check out Faith's blog post about our beach adventure.  

To get your own mermaid tail (even though you'd totally be ripping off Kath's style) check out 2Tails. 

And if you ever find yourself in the Rockaways, be sure and stop by Connolly's Bar for a delicious ice cold beer or frozen drink.
