Trans and Transparent

Trans and Transparent

Two lifelong best friends—one a trans man, the other a trans woman—share honest, unfiltered conversations about transitioning, identity, and everything in between. From hormones to relationships, misconceptions to everyday wins, they bring humor, heart, and real-life experience to the table. It’s not always pretty, but it’s always real. Tune in for laughs, insight, and a deeper look at what it really means to be trans.

This week we’re shaking things up with a grab bag of fun, random questions that have absolutely nothing to do with transness. Just pure curiosity and laughter. From quirky hypotheticals to everyday mysteries you did not know you cared about, we are letting the conversation wander wherever it wants. Think of it as a brain snack buffet, surprising, silly, and just the right amount of weird.

Benji’s just back from celebrating Pride in Berlin, and this episode has it all: birthday chaos, club adventures, and his first (unsuccessful) attempt at using the urinals.

Hunter shares how she ended up with free drinks at the club, and we talk about what it’s like being misgendered in public (plus how we both correct people).

This week we're eacting to some of the wildest, weirdest, and most unhinged transphobic comments we've gotten. Expect sarcasm, shade, and lots of laughing at people who clearly have way too much time on their hands. :)

Heads up, no video this week (tech fail, sorry!), so it’s audio-only. But trust us, the chaos still comes through loud and clear.

In this episode, we dive into the complex and sometimes contradictory feelings around gender envy, what it means, where it comes from, and how it can actually guide us toward a more authentic version of ourselves. We also explore passing: practical tips for those who want to shift how they’re perceived, without compromising who they are.

In this episode of Trans & Transparent we talk about our experiences with gender affirming surgeries including the emotional and physical impact of both top and bottom procedures. We also discuss how hair, whether it's a buzzcut, a wig, or something in between, plays a powerful role in how we express and affirm our gender. It's an honest look at transition, identity, and what it means to feel at home in your body.

This episode is all about sex — the good, the awkward, the confusing, and the awesome — from a trans perspective. We’re talking pleasure, bodies, dysphoria, euphoria, and figuring out what actually works for us. It’s honest, funny, and maybe a little messy!

In this episode of Trans & Transparent, we talk about what it’s like attending a wedding as a trans person and the pressure to pass in gendered spaces. We share some funny and eye-opening dating stories, and explore the frustrating reality of how trans women are often seen as side pieces rather than real relationship material. We also reflect on what it means to feel desirable and how to build confidence in yourself.

Benji’s flying solo(ish) this week, with a very special guest: his girlfriend! While Hunter’s away, they answer questions about sex, dysphoria, and the real stuff that comes with being in a long term relationship. This episode is full of honesty, laughs, and maybe a little oversharing.

We look back at our worst pre-transition outfits (there were some horrible choices) and share our experiences traveling as trans people. We talk about awkward airport security moments and discuss packing (the trans masc kind). It’s a light, honest, fun, and slightly chaotic conversation about style regrets and navigating travel while being trans.

In this episode, we talk about what it’s really like to realize you’re trans—often slowly, sometimes all at once, and rarely in a tidy way. We share the early signs we missed (or tried to ignore), what it felt like to finally say it out loud, and how we approached coming out to the people in our lives. It’s honest, a little messy, and hopefully a bit helpful too.

In this very first episode, we’re spilling all the tea on how two trans besties ended up here. We’ve known each other since we were six, used to “date” (whatever that meant in primary school), came out to each other twice (as gay and trans), and somehow stayed best friends through all of it.

We’re talking awkward childhood memories, chaotic coming outs, and why this podcast even exists. If you like friendship, gender confusion, and...
