0004 - Mothers Day
05/09/21 • 13 min
I couldn't ask for a more supportive mother. Many trans people have been disowned or struggled for acceptance. I thought I'd share the story of how I came out to her... or rather how I had a really odd "reverse coming out". The whole issue of coming out and family acceptance/rejection needs a deeper dive which I very much want to do in a future episode, but this is more of a "positive story" / "positive outcome" I'd like to share. Also stick around at the end for a bonus music track.

0005 - Trans Voices
This week, a discussion of voices (as in the noises we make with our mouth--parts). I'm not a speech therapist or voice trainer, but I've got a bit of perspective / experience that I think might be helpful. However, this is more of an overview than any in depth training.
It is meant as a "hey here's what worked for me" as a trans woman. I briefly discuss trans men, but a more in depth coverage will need to happen in a future episode when I can get one or more transmasculine folks to directly speak to issues unique to trans men.

I've also been making articles on Medium.com with some of the transcripts from my episodes (though probably not this one as it is so very auditory in nature) - those cam be found at digitalsorceress.medium.com
