TRANS CRUSH

In this episode of Trans Crush, host Zelah sits down with author and sex educator Max Hovey to dismantle the harmful "No Fats, No Fems" culture within the LGBTQ+ community. Max shares his journey from a toxic all-boys school in Kent to becoming a leading voice in body image advocacy and queer advocacy. 

We dive deep into: 

•The reality of internalized homophobia and the "queer toxicity phase." 

•Unpacking the "it's just a preference" defense on dating apps. 

•The history of tribe culture, the hanky code, and the creation of the Bear tribe. 

•Cis white gay privilege and the importance of community unity. 

•How representation (or lack thereof) shapes our desires.

This is not everything! We’re heading over to our Patreon Exclusive channel where we lose the filter. We’re talking to Max as a sex educator about the boom in transmasc porn, the psychology of sexual arousal vs. attraction, and the truth about aftercare in queer spaces.

Today on Trans Crush, I sit down with Steven for a very honest conversation about attraction, shame, and finally admitting to yourself what you feel.

Steven also shares how he sees relationships, what he is really drawn to, and why happiness comes from accepting who you are attracted to. Later in the conversation, he talks about his autism diagnosis and how it helped him understand himself more clearly.

Today on Trans Crush Cheza talks about something we do not hear enough about, what it is actually like transitioning as a teenager.

She shares her journey starting puberty blockers at 13, going on hormones at 16, and having surgery at 21, and how having a supportive family and safe environment completely changed the outcome of her life.

We also talk about why puberty blockers matter so much for trans teens. How they can give young people time, space and safety while they figure themselves out, and why for many they are life saving gender affirming care.

And of course we get into the politics around it, why it is so heavily debated right now, and what it means that access has been restricted for under 18s in the UK.

It is an honest, important conversation about growing up trans young, and what support can actually do when it is given at the right time.
