Alex and Mattie flew across the world to feel completely at home.

A million thanks to all of our friends, but especially Adina and Myke for so generously sharing their day with so many wonderful people. 

In this solo episode, Mattie discusses his complicated feelings towards transmasc shirtless selfies. He shares about his own experiences with top surgery and being shirtless––along with the negative effects that sharing post-op selfies on social media can perpetuate.
