In this episode, we talk about what it’s really like to realize you’re trans—often slowly, sometimes all at once, and rarely in a tidy way. We share the early signs we missed (or tried to ignore), what it felt like to finally say it out loud, and how we approached coming out to the people in our lives. It’s honest, a little messy, and hopefully a bit helpful too.

1. We dated before we transitioned (Oops)
Thursday Apr 24, 2025
Thursday Apr 24, 2025
In this very first episode, we’re spilling all the tea on how two trans besties ended up here. We’ve known each other since we were six, used to “date” (whatever that meant in primary school), came out to each other twice (as gay and trans), and somehow stayed best friends through all of it.
We’re talking awkward childhood memories, chaotic coming outs, and why this podcast even exists. If you like friendship, gender confusion, and mildly embarrassing stories—we got you.
