Summary
In this week’s episode, we’re bringing back some conversations from the archives about trans love. Imara chats with Wilson and Miss B Haven of North Carolina about their work in journalism and drag (respectively) and building community in Durham. Then, Imara chats with couple Arthur and Harry about transitioning, dating and challenging assumptions about who occupies gay male spaces. Plus they give some advice to cis gay men who might be dating a trans man for the first time. And for this week’s Trans Joy segment, we celebrate listeners who told us what they love about their trans partners.
