A limited series podcast about the varied lived experiences of Trans identities.
Hosted by Alyx Liu
Episode 8:
Gender Affirming Care + Beauty Standards
Starring Ivan Lam and Bobby Sanchez
This episode, with guests Zaya Perysian and Venus, dives into their paths to gender-affirming care at different stages of life-the social, medical, and surgical interventions that help trans people live in alignment with who they are. The conversation explores the physical and mental health realities of HRT and surgical transition, from early symptoms and emotional shifts to their personal medical routines. Beyond the clinical, Zaya and Venus offer an intimate look at how society's treatment of them shifts as they become more "passable," and the evolving relationship between trans identity, intimacy, and performance under the weight of ever-changing beauty standards.
