Welcome back to the peripheral and happy New Year.

We all have our New Year's resolutions.

What is a resolution?

It's something you want to change about your life, yourself, something you want to do differently.

Maybe it's seeing the world in a better light.

Maybe it's doing something for yourself, setting a boundary, exercising, eating better,

or stopping a bad habit.

But all of those things are a transition.

All of those things are a conscious decision that you want to make to be more true to yourself. On today's episode,

I speak with Holden, who's somebody who knew they were in the wrong body from a young age.

They've been a huge fan of the show for a long time, and I promised them that I would tell

their story.

And we finally got around to doing it, but it took me a long time to get the episode out.

So apologies for that.

But it was a wonderful conversation.

We talk about gender dysphoria.

We talk about gay marriage.

We talk about a lot of topics here.

And without further ado, is Holden.

My name is Holden, Jay Casey.

And I am officially what used to be called a non-transitional female-to trans person. They don't really use that designation much anymore, female to male.

You know, they don't use that much anymore.
