HELLO: and welcome to A Life Lived Trans, with your hosts, Mardi & Lenny!  In this FREE episode (only the first episode of each month is free going forward!) we're slicing AND dicing, and talking all about gender affirming surgeries, or as we called them in our day... SEX CHANGE SURGERIES. From clitoroplasties that don't take, if trans men or trans women have it better, to crusty capsules growing around breast implants, and what it's like to have top surgery as a trans guy! We also dare to dream of a world where neovagina doesn't need to be stretched out all the time! IF ONLY.

HELLO: and welcome to A Life Lived Trans, with your hosts, Mardi & Lenny!  In this FREE episode we dive into everything mothers (because we recorded this episode on Mother's Day) and the things we do for them, from wearing dresses when you've transitioned into being a man, to balancing books on your head and mincing around the room. We also talk about the emotional response Mardi had after receiving a copy of the 40th Anniversary Blu Ray of Hookers On Davie, and Lenny asks "how can we meet our higher selves?!".

HELLO: and welcome to A Life Lived Trans, with your hosts, Mardi & Lenny!  In this FREE episode we dive into how we came to learn we were trans, reading about the magical transition of Christine Jorgensen in gossip magazines! We talk about what binds us together, and how despite growing up in different countries and travelling in different directions our stories are eerily similar! Mardi also talks about her yearning for some jiggle in her youth and Lenny tries to convince Mardi to lift weights!

Good morning working divas, working dolls, and working action men!

This week we're talking about SURVIVAL WORK, that's right expect a no-holds-barred discussion about the not so beautiful world of working the stroll and making your bag, yes gawd.

What we have have to do to survive our life lived trans experience, is sometimes not a beautiful and wonderful experience, but it's our history, and for us, there is beauty AND value in remembering what we had to be here today.

TLDR Sex work is work, decriminalise sex work now but also OMG IT'S LOWKEY RLLY BAD FOR SOME OF US.

Chile anyways, enjoy the show! 💅

In this episode we're talking about hormones, not the oldest profession, but the things that pump through our bodies and determine everything from how we look to how we smell! From self medicating through to what they change about us and how they interact with our internal processes, they're so fun!

And yes, this HAS been your reminder, have you taken your hormones today?!?!?!
