Ant: I Tried Testosterone... And It Wasn't Right For Me

from TRANS CRUSH · host Pavie Valsa, Zelah Glasson

JOIN OUR EXCLUSIVE COMMUNITY ON PATREON: https://patreon.com/transcrush/In this new episode of Trans Crush, Zelah sits down with Ant, a trans masc creative who challenges everything we think we know about gender, transition, and identity. From breaking free of binary expectations to questioning the idea that there is only one "right" way to be trans, Ant shares a deeply honest conversation about finding peace in the grey areas. We explore important topics including: • Ant's emotional realization they were trans, crying alone in a workplace bathroom after finally accepting their identity. • Growing up as a tomboy, being bullied for not fitting gender expectations, and how childhood experiences shaped their journey. • Why they stopped testosterone after six months, and how they realized medical transition wasn't the right path for them. • The pressure many trans people face to medically transition, and why there is no checklist for being "trans enough." • Dating as a trans masc person in a non-monogamous relationship, and how society perceives queer couples. • Why gender stereotypes don't only hurt trans people, but affect everyone, from children in the playground to the mental health crisis facing men today. • A refreshing perspective on transition as a journey rather than a destination, and why embracing uncertainty can be one of the most liberating parts of discovering yourself. Join Zelah and Ant for an honest, funny, and thought-provoking conversation that celebrates authenticity over expectations.

Surviving The System The Fringe FM Surviving The System is a podcast created to shed light on the hypocrisy and injustice of “the system” in our nation today. I founded this podcast after first hand experience of how the system works - the shady tactics by law enforcement, the blatant disregard for the law by the legal system, the ever increasing attempts to crush the human spirit by the prison industrial complex and so called “re-entry” efforts. All of it appearing to be designed to keep people beat down, with no opportunity to learn and grow from their past mistakes. Since my experience with the system, I’ve learned that things are almost never cut and dry, right or wrong. So called “criminals” are some of the most compassionate, talented and intelligent individuals this world has to offer. On the flip side, there are some people who appear to lead the perfect life are all too often miserable human beings who are simply better at hiding their crimes from the rest of the world. My goal by starting Surviving The System It's OK to Say Gay Audacy During an era where proposed "Don't Say Gay" and anti-trans laws are growing across the U.S., It's OK to Say Gay celebrates LGBTQ+ voices while holding conversations that get allies to listen.
