Wait what is a QUILBAG?!

An acronym for “Queer/Questioning, Undecided, Intersex, Lesbian, Trans (Transgender/Transsexual), Bisexual, Asexual, Gay/Gender-queer”, used as an inclusive self-designation for minority sexual and gender identities. The team talks acronyms an the different identities that make up the wider rainbow community. While researching the different ways to define our community it was shocking to find how unclear even our media outlets were on how to report or discuss lgbtiq+ issues.  Ana talks trans phobia in the LGBTIQ+ community.

This is a  Podcast of Trans POV substream, Trans POV Kitchen.

This episode, Thomas Morgan and Ana discuss all things meaty and their indulgence on the crunchiest of crispy roasted pork skin.

“The closer to the bone, the sweeter the meat” shall he means it any other way. He also discussed the rise of transmen visibility in gay spaces and we cannot be more thrilled talking about it.

As always, Anastasia just has to make it about her and her women!

Hannah Mouncey is an Australian handball and Australian rules football player who represented Australia in men’s handball before transitioning her gender to female. Since her transition, she has been the subject of controversy over her eligibility to take part in women’s competitions and took time out of her busy schedule to sit down with Mama Mish over a cuppa to talk about dealing with the media and sport as a transgender woman and also where life might take her after football.

The team get together to have some fun with a voice digitizer and talk about how our voices play a big part in how society interacts with us.  Many transgender men and women experience gender dysphoria when it comes to their voices and many seek help to reduce this through apps, therapy and surgery. We take a lighter look and find how surprised we were by the differences in our voices.

Dating is awkward as it is and when you throw in being transgender, pronouns, and individual sexuality. We dissect each other and share our own self image of our bodies and what we feel we are allowed to have ownership in the LGBTIQ+ world. We also find out personal names of our “JUNK” and Anna won.

The post The one where we try to fit it together appeared first on Trans P.O.V. (Transgender Point of View).

        This week, we talk about something that seems rather illusive these days: kindness, especially one we should have for ourselves. Ashley from across the sea chirped in her views after over decades of living and loving authentically. Zay channeled their inner Yoda and gave us tips on being kinder to ourselves. And Anastasia…. well, Anastasia was being her crazy self again, having roamed around the streets of Melbourne asking total strangers of their thoughts on Transgender.

The post Kindness and Ana On The Loose (Again) appeared first on Trans P.O.V. (Transgender Point of View).

Its a crowded house today with everyone talking about Dysphoria. What is Dysphoria?

Gender dysphoria (GD), or gender identity disorder (GID), is the distress a person experiences as a result of the sex and gender they were assigned at birth. In this case, the assigned sex and gender do not match the person’s gender identity, and the person is transgender.

But doing things like taking a moment to point out a few positive things you love about yourself, or by surrounding yourself with people who understand or may be going through the same thing, or maybe just by taking some well needed time out.

Ana needs her hormones checked because she is dreaming she is pregnant and Bowie says “Wasn’t me!”

Is the baby daddy the hot barista, Colonial Sanders, or is it her new found chocolate cravings? The team at Trans POV have a laugh at the funny side of cravings and bodily changes as well as discuss how Ana could be one of the new Trans House Wives of Melbourne. So Ana now knows before conceiving, she can increase her chances of having a smooth pregnancy and a healthy baby. Eat a good diet, having a uterus, be sure to exercise (she’s obsessed) and practice makes perfect (that’s her favourite part).

The post The one with the The Blessed (Not-so) Virgin Anastasia appeared first on Trans P.O.V. (Transgender Point of View).

What happens when Mama Mish’s Mama comes on to talk about transition and life in St. Louis where Michelle comes from. It wasn’t an easy road as you’ll hear them talk about. Stories of confusion, prejudices, and how society is struggling with acceptance in the Midwest bible-belt of america. In this story you will hear Michelle’s birth name, you will hear Michelle’s mom talk about societies attitudes to race and culture. But this is part of the story of where people come from and underneath its a lesson of listening to one another to move forward.
