ConverSayTrans with Fiona Leigh

Saturday, November 27, 2021 • Duration 01:00:03

.wpedon-container .wpedon-select, .wpedon-container .wpedon-input { width: 170px; min-width: 170px; max-width: 170px; } Joining Jules and Alexandra in this episode of ConverSayTrans is Fiona Leigh, a singer, actor and writer. Who is a part of the trans writers union, who are currently boycotting The Irish Times. Having come back to Ireland just before Covid hit, this self described Gen Xer tells us about her memoir that is she hoping to find a publisher for about her time in Japan realising that she was trans. Her musical exploits as the singer in a punk band, her adoring male fans, her inspiration in music, Courtney Love, especially in her Hole era (the band!) In Japan, as she was exploring her identity and singing through the night, she was an English teacher in a school. Fiona lets us into deep parts of her life such as the tumultuous relationship between her parents, the true love of her life, and how she medically transitioned. Coming home to Ireland at this time can be incredible isolating with the past restrictions and being told to limit your social contacts, but Fiona has found a place in her local charity shop where the seller adored her blonde locks and punk aesthetic, of course she's now apart of the trans writers union and contacting with members of the community that way.

Saturday, October 30, 2021 • Duration 52:32

.wpedon-container .wpedon-select, .wpedon-container .wpedon-input { width: 170px; min-width: 170px; max-width: 170px; } In this episode of ConverSayTrans we have Jamie and Chloe O’Herlihy, sisters who both came out as trans in 2016. They have been on the Late Late Show, cover of GCN, the subject of tabloid interest & more. Their rise in prominence was a lot to deal with, but their bond helped them deal with the aftermath. Now they’re talking to us about how they viewed their younger self, the power and beauty of make-up and looking after oneself externally. Chloe lives in Scotland and works at a fabulous queer inclusive salon, and Jamie is a blogger who uses YouTube and Onlyfans, where she says being able to be her own boss and have a direct control over her image has been liberating!

4. Jayson Pope

Season 2 · Episode 4

Saturday, October 23, 2021 • Duration 56:17

.wpedon-container .wpedon-select, .wpedon-container .wpedon-input { width: 170px; min-width: 170px; max-width: 170px; } Our guest on ConversayTrans this week is the illustrious Jayson Pope, a young activist who found community and conviction in the BeLonGTo Youth Services. He has been publicly out as a trans man since he was 13, so his youth is not an indication of his inexperience in being trans. His story is one of hope, with a deep support system that included his parents, friends, BeLonGToo and at times even his secondary school. Initially at ConverSayTrans we ask our guests to bring an item that represents a pivotal moment in their life, and Jayson's gift is a ring from his own 21st Birthday as he talks with Jules and Alexandra the Irish secondary education system and his activism.
