08/27/20 • 0 min

For personal reasons, Mel asked us to take her episode down until further notice. We have honoured her request, and may do a follow-up episode some time. If so, we will update the episode page with the details and add the details here as well. Although Mel's story is unique and there is of course no replacement, you can listen to other episodes from non-binary, asexual and aromantic folks on fiftyshadesofgender.com/podcast. You can also search by label on fiftyshadesofgender.com/episode-list.

9. ALYS WILFRED EARL #2: trans-masculine, non-binary, genderfluid

Alys Wilfred (or Fred, for short) is a writer, storyteller and folklorist. This is our second conversation, just over 20 months after our first conversation in December 2018, which was episode two of the podcast. Fred's pronouns are still they/them or xie/xir (or he/him if you insist), and they identify as trans-masculine, non-binary and genderfluid. We talk about the minor and major effects of testosterone (or T) injections including voice changes and mental health, body dysmorphia versus gender dysphoria, recovering from top surgery and being topless, options for bottom surgery (phalloplasty versus metoidioplasty or meta for short), and why the term ’sex change’ doesn’t do it justice.
