Trans Uncensored 3: Body Image
Episode 3 is out! Body image is a very vulnerable, difficult topic for Kitty and I. I hope that you can find connection through this episode, and also come out the other side with ambition to feel better about yourself.

I've gotta be real with you, Sy, I don't understand RSS and I have no idea how it works, so I don't have an RSS url!
Gah! I commented on the video before it was over. I have my monster days, as well. I've shaved my head, I've been overweight for most of my adult life, I'm Black, I'm dwarfishly short. So sorry. I'm not trying to be dismissive. I'm trying to dig in -- all of our intersections really drive us and make us. Trans folk definitely have different issues than us cis folks, but it's as if we want folks to carry though these issues. If I'm not ashamed of my fat, what's wrong with me? If we aren't ashamed of 'masculine' traits when we're women or nonbinary, what's wrong with us? I'm also thinking about your statement about 'ugliness' being a freeing thing sometimes. A defiant thing that we can swing back and forth to between our days of wanting to be beautiful. It's so hard to love ourselves. It's fascinating that sometimes the thing we want to 'kill' about ourselves is what makes us unique and tells a singular story with our look.
You didn't sound dismissive! The point of this podcast, to me, was for people to feel connected through our shared struggles, so if you could relate, that's just what I wanted! Thank you for sharing your feels, LaTonya! =)
