Episode 54: Mars Wright

We had the privilege of sitting down with Mars Wright (@mars.wright) while he graciously shared his journey. From spending his early youth in the LA area to moving to a smaller town and the subsequent bullying he faced. We cover a lot of serious topics with Mars, some of which are disordered eating, bullying, transitioning while in a relationship, top surgery recovery, policing and requirements within the trans* community and so much more. While we talk about A LOT of serious stuff there is a constant theme of perseverance and finding self love and community. Comments? Questions? Whatever? Tweet us at @Trans_Wisdom.

26:22
Join us this week for our first Nash and C in person episode! We sat down, together, in the flesh and discussed what is commonly referred to as the 'Real Life Test or 'Real Life Experience'. While neither of us have first hand experience with this 'test'- it was the only option offered to Nash when he wanted to begin his transition in New Jersey! That and other reasons ultimately lead him to move to Seattle. We discuss what the real life test actually entails and our beliefs of the dangers it presents. We go on a bit of a tangent on the medical red tape faced by trans* folx, but it's all related- we promise. And may even lead to further episodes, stick around and find out. Comments? Questions?

Don't sleep on this episode. Nash sits down with the absolutely hilarious Jen Winslow, a Los Angeles trans-plant from Indiana. Jen is a comedian, actress, writer and also just happens to be trans*. They discuss how she got her start in comedy and how her transition has played and not played a role in that arena. This episode covers a lot of serious topics, they talk about her early life, transition and 20+ year marriage, and how transitioning impacted that relationship. They also talk about Jen's own nonbinary child and how navigating that coming out has gone.
