A minute for - Paige Behan

GIRLS WE LOSE VIDEO TEMPORARILY DUE TO A BUG WHEN DOWNLOADING 😭😭 5-10 mins of a blank screen audio stays and then we come back SO SORRY. (Robyn’s dogs are her WiFi box) Welcome back girliesss 💅This week we’re joined by our pal Paige Behan and it’s one of the most honest, emotional and important conversations we’ve had on the podcast so far.Paige opens up about growing up in Ballyfermot, being diagnosed as intersex, and her journey transitioning from male to female in Ireland. We talk about identity, friendship, dating while trans, and the reality of navigating relationships while dealing with fetishisation and misunderstanding from men.We also get into the realities of trans healthcare in Ireland, including Paige’s experience travelling to Germany for surgery, undergoing two separate SRS procedures, and the emotional and physical impact that came with it all.Paige shares the story of being refused medical care in St James’s Hospital after surgery and how she ultimately took a court case and won - after being denied treatment based on gender discrimination.Alongside all of that, we also chat about Paige’s MANY lives and careers 😭 from years working in The George to going back into medicine and her dreams of medical school (she’s gonna change the world of trans healthcare in Ireland) 💅💅As always, even with the heavier conversations, there’s still loads of laughs, chaos and completely unhinged moments throughout.We love you divas, thank you always for the love 💘Xoxo The GMAM gang 💋
