Trans and Transparent

This week we are joined by Eliah Reber for a fun and honest conversation about the changes that come with testosterone. From voice drops to body hair, Benji and Eliah build a tier list of their favorite (and least favorite) changes, sharing laughs, stories, and personal perspectives along the way.

In this episode we cover two conversations. First we talk about the realities of being trans content creators, from finding a voice online to handling visibility and vulnerability. Then we turn to toxic masculinity, how it shows up in our lives, how it affects relationships, and what it takes to push back against it. 

This week Benji finally tries the wig!! We also talk about what it really means to stay present during sex when anxiety keeps showing up. From overthinking and performance pressure to the ups and downs of dating and learning to trust people, we open up about how these struggles shape intimacy and connection. Honest, unpolished, and very real! 

This week we’re shaking things up with a grab bag of fun, random questions that have absolutely nothing to do with transness. Just pure curiosity and laughter. From quirky hypotheticals to everyday mysteries you did not know you cared about, we are letting the conversation wander wherever it wants. Think of it as a brain snack buffet, surprising, silly, and just the right amount of weird.

Benji’s just back from celebrating Pride in Berlin, and this episode has it all: birthday chaos, club adventures, and his first (unsuccessful) attempt at using the urinals.

Hunter shares how she ended up with free drinks at the club, and we talk about what it’s like being misgendered in public (plus how we both correct people).

This week we're eacting to some of the wildest, weirdest, and most unhinged transphobic comments we've gotten. Expect sarcasm, shade, and lots of laughing at people who clearly have way too much time on their hands. :)

Heads up, no video this week (tech fail, sorry!), so it’s audio-only. But trust us, the chaos still comes through loud and clear.

In this episode, we dive into the complex and sometimes contradictory feelings around gender envy, what it means, where it comes from, and how it can actually guide us toward a more authentic version of ourselves. We also explore passing: practical tips for those who want to shift how they’re perceived, without compromising who they are. 

In this episode of Trans & Transparent we talk about our experiences with gender affirming surgeries including the emotional and physical impact of both top and bottom procedures. We also discuss how hair, whether it's a buzzcut, a wig, or something in between, plays a powerful role in how we express and affirm our gender. It's an honest look at transition, identity, and what it means to feel at home in your body.

Join us as Samantha Angels shares their experience of being non-binary versus binary trans and dives into the world of ballroom and voguing. We explore how ballroom culture empowers trans and queer communities, and what it means to live beyond the binary.

This episode is all about sex — the good, the awkward, the confusing, and the awesome — from a trans perspective. We’re talking pleasure, bodies, dysphoria, euphoria, and figuring out what actually works for us. It’s honest, funny, and maybe a little messy! 

In this episode of Trans & Transparent, we talk about what it’s like attending a wedding as a trans person and the pressure to pass in gendered spaces. We share some funny and eye-opening dating stories, and explore the frustrating reality of how trans women are often seen as side pieces rather than real relationship material. We also reflect on what it means to feel desirable and how to build confidence in yourself.

In this episode, Hunter shares her experience from a recent trip to Finland. They discuss the struggles with long queues for trans health care and alternative ways (and why Benji has to travel to Finland every three months). They also go over the side effects of testosterone along with possible solutions, with a humorous touch ofc ;)

Benji’s flying solo(ish) this week, with a very special guest: his girlfriend! While Hunter’s away, they answer questions about sex, dysphoria, and the real stuff that comes with being in a long term relationship. This episode is full of honesty, laughs, and maybe a little oversharing. 

We look back at our worst pre-transition outfits (there were some horrible choices) and share our experiences traveling as trans people. We talk about awkward airport security moments and discuss packing (the trans masc kind). It’s a light, honest, fun, and slightly chaotic conversation about style regrets and navigating travel while being trans.

In this episode, we dive into what it’s like dating as trans people while answering questions from you guys! Navigating disclosure, safety, dysphoria, and those rare but beautiful moments of real connection. We share what’s been hard, what’s surprised us, and what we’ve learned along the way. It’s honest, personal, and all about finding love while staying true to yourself. 

In this episode, we talk about what it’s really like to realize you’re trans—often slowly, sometimes all at once, and rarely in a tidy way. We share the early signs we missed (or tried to ignore), what it felt like to finally say it out loud, and how we approached coming out to the people in our lives. It’s honest, a little messy, and hopefully a bit helpful too.
