The CrossYAAS Podcast: Appreciating Crossdressing, Sexuality and Gender

Giselle is back for Pride Month 2026 with another Big Idea Episode! Inspired by watching Ariana Grande live in concert, she talks about what she believes femininity is, and what it is not.

Billie is joined by Ashley Habibi — a Latina trans woman, comedian, performer, and person in recovery who is doing a lot, and doing it loudly and proudly during Pride Month.Ashley's story is not a straight line. It winds through a childhood shaped by parental abandonment and being raised by her grandmother in Mexico, through 16 years of performing comedy, through addiction, psychosis, homelessness, and an HIV diagnosis — and then through the moment everything changed: a first date in a wig where strangers stopped her on the street to tell her she was beautiful.She and Billie get into what recovery and transition look like when they happen at the same time, how Ashley became the woman who saved her own life, and what it means to go from having nothing to being an inspiration to others. Plus hormones, electrolysis, broccoli and testosterone, and running for Miss LA Pride 2026.This one's got a lot of heart.

Episode 208 | Curi-Yaas Convo: Claire JonesOkay, this episode is almost a year late — life happened, executive dysfunction is real, and here we are... I'm sorry ClaireBillie is joined by Claire — a mid-50s cross-dresser from the middle of the UK who describes herself as "retired." But what does retired even mean? Claire breaks it all down: a decade-long run of living as herself during work trips, a closet she's never fully left, and the job loss in 2022 that took away the only windows she had.Claire's story spans from pantyhose in a sock drawer at age 8 or 9, to nearly 50,000 Twitter followers, to being part of a national campaign against hate in the UK — all while keeping Claire completely hidden from her wife and family. She talks about the guilt and shame that came with puberty, the internet being the first place she ever realized she wasn't alone, and the small communities that have kept her sane even when she can't physically express who she is.Billie and Claire also get into the messy middle ground a lot of people live in: the fear of coming out, the calculation of what you stand to lose, and what it means to find ways to be yourself without anyone knowing. It's honest, it's tender, and it goes to some real places.Plus: empathy, chocolate bars, and a perfect world.
