The Rage

In this episode we continue the conversation of what it's like to date as a transgender woman and a middle-age divorcée.

In this episode we discuss the heartache involved in letting go of our  old selves, and the items we still carry with us today that remind us of  a time now lost to the past.

Why did we decide to call our show, "The Rage?"  How did Calista choose her name?  And what's so important about names anyway?

Calista and Jennifer explain how each dealt with the emotional pain of parting ways.

Jennifer asks Calista to elaborate more on the ways in which she hid (and expressed) her femininity from shaving body hair to trying on her clothes, shoes and underwear.

A few months into the 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic Calista and Jennifer discuss (via zoom) the affects of isolation and not knowing how long the shelter in place will last.  Lack of professional grooming, lack of income, lack of in-person social interaction taking it's toll.

Now that Calista and Jennifer are no longer a couple, they discuss coupling with others - the good, the bad and the "what was I thinking?"

Calista is upset when she overhears a conversation between Jennifer and their mutual friends.  C and J also discover the value of a good couples  therapist who manages to keep them from spiraling out of control.

Jennifer asks Calista about her past experimentation with femininity  before transitioning and gets more details than she expected.

Trigger warning: Calista shares some of the darker events that took  place in her youth and how she's now working to heal herself from the  pain she can no longer keep hidden.
