Unpacking Cis White Gay Privilege with Max Hovey

In this episode of Trans Crush, host Zelah sits down with author and sex educator Max Hovey to dismantle the harmful "No Fats, No Fems" culture within the LGBTQ+ community. Max shares his journey from a toxic all-boys school in Kent to becoming a leading voice in body image advocacy and queer advocacy. We dive deep into: •The reality of internalized homophobia and the "queer toxicity phase." •Unpacking the "it's just a preference" defense on dating apps. •The history of tribe culture, the hanky code, and the creation of the Bear tribe. •Cis white gay privilege and the importance of community unity. •How representation (or lack thereof) shapes our desires.This is not everything! We’re heading over to our Patreon Exclusive channel where we lose the filter. We’re talking to Max as a sex educator about the boom in transmasc porn, the psychology of sexual arousal vs. attraction, and the truth about aftercare in queer spaces.
