On this week's podcast, Sam and I talk about being trans and dating. We cover a lot of ground about dating being a trans person and as you'll see, it's not the easiest topic for either of us to talk about. Join us for a discussion of dating and what changes after coming out and transitioning; about dating apps; about how expectations around behavior changes after coning out and transitioning; about all those questions we get about dating; and of course about sex and intimacy. This episode relies heavily on the personal experience both Sam and I have had in dating or even with the idea of dating after coming out and transitioning. Dating and intimate relationships are complicated and neither of us are experts in this area, but we think there's still value in sharing with you our experinces. We hope you find it interesting and useful!
