Episode Highlights

During our shared time we explore what it means to be in flow with the unfolding journey of gender.
Rae shares that coming out to their family took a couple of years - they were blessed and lucky to have built a supportive strong queer community prior to coming out.
They share with us how pandemic quarantine removed a lot of the external barriers trans people navigate on the daily. During this time, Rae honored their trans identity by getting top surgery and working more deeply with testosterone injections.
Rae drops some queer wisdom nuggets: How do we connect to ourselves, to each other? How do we bring more pleasure + joy + play into our lives right now even while holding all the heavy stuff?
In their new book, Gender Magic, Rae poses that we position gender exploration and transition as just another part of self growth.
Rae shares an excerpt from their book with us and it’s filled with such yummy nuggets of queer wisdom.
Pleasure + Joy + Play remain integral ingredients of their growth.
