106. Masc, Trans + big FEELINGS
04/20/21 • 130 min
Two trans artist people talk about gender, masculinity, + processing and reacting to BIG feelings! My guest was raised female, I was raised male; neither of us identify with our gender assignment (at birth) and THUS we EACH have a unique take on GENDER.
We also discuss: Gandalf as the ideal masculine archetype; reclaiming gender; men wearing skirts; crying A LOT; gender as an expression of self; dissociation & depersonalization; gender dysphoria; puffing up when feeling scared; performing gender; deprogramming binary thinking; SHAME, fear + anger; coming BACK into the body (sitting with emotions); and SO much more!

Previous Episode

Struggles in Masculinity & Gender (PATREON Bonus Ep 49)
A gentle and intimate trip down memory lane that DEEPLY connects me with toxic masculinity (and how that REALLY impacted and harmed me). This is me exploring what it MEANS to be raised male in a world that celebrates emotional disconnection and disregulation.
Highlights include: crying at house parties; driving a friend to get an abortion; my sensitive, gentle parts not being nurtured (because I was a BOY); fist fights; a friend dying; grief; listening to inner wisdom; reconnecting my parts; crying with men; perpetuating toxic masculinity unintentionally; reintegrating gender; performing gender in alternative ways; learning to support and nurture; and SO much more.
Recorded 7, 8, 9 April 2021.

Next Episode

On PAIN, LOVE + making amends (PATREON Bonus Ep 50)
A BONUS audio journal in which I discuss my relationship with the GIANT beaming volcano of LOVE inside of me and how I've been taught to repress it and to feel shame about it (and shame about how I experience the world differently than other people) AND how I'm learning to live authentically and to LET THAT LOVE SHIIIIIINE!
Take the mask off, take the armour off, let the love in, let love shine!
I also discuss: the PAIN of being alive; disconnection + reconnection with self; autism, small talk, neurodiversity; IMPOSTOR syndrome; climate change, capitalism, colonialism as forces propelled by the disconnection from self and environment; encountering people's FEAR; making AMENDS as an act of LOVE; suicide as a result of hiding myself away; surrender as an act of POWER not weakness; CRYING with someone and REALLY, TRULY connecting; trauma bonding; and SO much more!
