This week Benji finally tries the wig!! We also talk about what it really means to stay present during sex when anxiety keeps showing up. From overthinking and performance pressure to the ups and downs of dating and learning to trust people, we open up about how these struggles shape intimacy and connection. Honest, unpolished, and very real! 

In this episode, we dive into the world of ballroom! It's a space built on creativity, competition, and community. We’ll talk about how ballroom started, what happens at a ball, and why it’s such an important part of LGBTQ+ culture. From houses to categories to voguing, this is an introduction to the energy and history that make ballroom unforgettable. Featuring Swedish Princess Samantha Angels and Chicago Angels.

So… how do you actually know if you’re trans? In this episode, we get real about the big, messy, exciting, and sometimes scary process of figuring out your gender. We’ll talk about the little signs you might notice, what gender euphoria feels like, and why there’s no one “right” way to be trans. Whether you’re questioning, already out, or just starting to wonder, this is a safe space to sort through those “what ifs” and maybe find a little clarity along the way.

This week we’re shaking things up with a grab bag of fun, random questions that have absolutely nothing to do with transness. Just pure curiosity and laughter. From quirky hypotheticals to everyday mysteries you did not know you cared about, we are letting the conversation wander wherever it wants. Think of it as a brain snack buffet, surprising, silly, and just the right amount of weird.

Benji’s just back from celebrating Pride in Berlin, and this episode has it all: birthday chaos, club adventures, and his first (unsuccessful) attempt at using the urinals.

Hunter shares how she ended up with free drinks at the club, and we talk about what it’s like being misgendered in public (plus how we both correct people).

This week we're eacting to some of the wildest, weirdest, and most unhinged transphobic comments we've gotten. Expect sarcasm, shade, and lots of laughing at people who clearly have way too much time on their hands. :)

Heads up, no video this week (tech fail, sorry!), so it’s audio-only. But trust us, the chaos still comes through loud and clear.

In this episode, we dive into the complex and sometimes contradictory feelings around gender envy, what it means, where it comes from, and how it can actually guide us toward a more authentic version of ourselves. We also explore passing: practical tips for those who want to shift how they’re perceived, without compromising who they are. 

In this episode of Trans & Transparent we talk about our experiences with gender affirming surgeries including the emotional and physical impact of both top and bottom procedures. We also discuss how hair, whether it's a buzzcut, a wig, or something in between, plays a powerful role in how we express and affirm our gender. It's an honest look at transition, identity, and what it means to feel at home in your body.

Join us as Samantha Angels shares their experience of being non-binary versus binary trans and dives into the world of ballroom and voguing. We explore how ballroom culture empowers trans and queer communities, and what it means to live beyond the binary.

This episode is all about sex — the good, the awkward, the confusing, and the awesome — from a trans perspective. We’re talking pleasure, bodies, dysphoria, euphoria, and figuring out what actually works for us. It’s honest, funny, and maybe a little messy!
