Call Me By My Name Project | A Trans Oral History Podcast

Lee and Ryan sit down with Maddie, a 28yr old trans woman who uses she/her pronouns. She talks about growing up in Adelaide, trans representation in the media, live music, visibility, reinvention and living authentically, and how crucial community is. Also included are shout-outs to Fitzroy North and Meetup.com. Lee learns not to put Ryan in charge of the technical side of recording, but they work through it and Ryan is invited back next time.

Frances, who uses she/her pronouns, invites Ryan and Lee into her house to chat about, among other things: birth charts, conspiracy theories, finding chosen family in Melbourne, and finding or hearing your own voice or truth amidst the various and often conflicting messages you’re receiving from your environment and the people around you. Frances also shares her frustration at undergoing voice therapy to recover the voice she used to have, the joy of wearing the clothes you missed out on wearing as a teenager, and how apt it is that she’s a Scorpio – the sign associated with rebirth and transformation.
