In this episode, Savannah and Julie discuss a topic that fascinated Savannah from Keystone. Namely, the fact that a young person with trans experience attended Savannah's workshop with the express notion of learning more about what 'crossdressing' means. With Savannah's mind blown, she sits down with Julie to better understand the place of 'crossdressers' within the new trans generations. From a century of the label being closeted to the possibility of sliding into obscurity in the 21st Century, anything and everything is still possible.

08/25/21 • 58 min

IN THIS EPISODE, Savannah pitches the idea that finding out, discovering, or being told that you are in a relationship with a male-to-female crossdressing partner isn't as glamorous a situation as one might think. From the inherent worry of competing "woman to woman" with your male partner on who can achieve the most feminine expression, to worrying about whether the male partner's expectation for femininity is something outside the significant one's reach, to the concern that the cis-partner will be left behind, what may result is a power play to gain control or the upper hand in the relationship. Whether based in fear, protection, embarrassment, or shame, each partner needs to be held responsible with the human life that hold in their hands.

In this episode, Savannah brings the story of Baptist Pastor and local Mayor Fred Copeland to Julie, highlighting the tragic tale of a man targeted for his "behind the scenes" crossdressing and the effects it had on his life after a conservative blog site exposed his behaviors to the public. While Copeland addressed his congregation for what had been revealed, and while his family and friends and community seemed to be fully behind him with support, Fred Copeland did take his own life in the aftermath of the doxxing of his personal life.

This is a sensitive subject so we do want to be mindful that this episode could be triggering for some people.
