Hello, friends. Welcome back to another episode of Theology in the raw. I am here with a new friend of mine, Daisy Chadra.

Daisy is a female, two male, back to female, formerly trans-identified person who has since D transitioned.

I came across Daisy's YouTube channel. This must have been almost a year ago, but have been following her story and her journey for a while now, and she always struck me as being somebody who's just very just authentic and clear.

And humble and has a really interesting story. So I reached out and invited her on. And she said, yes, so you're going to get to know Daisy. And it was a very interesting conversation. We talk a lot about stuff related to her story. So I think you'll enjoy it.

Hello, friends. I'm here with a new friend, a friend as of the last two minutes. Daisy Chadra. Daisy has a YouTube channel and a few of your videos have absolutely blown up. And so they've gotten a lot of attention and naturally came across them.

And I just, I just loved your honesty and just your humility and authenticity. I'm like, man, I would love to have a conversation with Daisy. So thank you so much for coming on the All-Generade, Daisy.

Of course. Thank you for having me.

Why don't we start just for our audience that doesn't have a clue who you are. Maybe just share a bit about your story. And yeah, I would love to, especially, you know, get into your transition and de-transition.

And really, how you're processing that now and it wasn't that, you know, longer going all this, what's happening.

Yeah. So I've been making YouTube videos for several years now. And I made videos as a trans man, sort of talking from a trans perspective and also kind of documenting my transition.

And, you know, I was kind of in like that niche of YouTube, which was like, you know, in 2015, 16, 17 was like, you know, pretty big, but I was a very, very small name.

I had a very small following and still still do. And in 2020, may of 2020, but also kind of started before that I came to regret my transition.

And realized that I needed to actually take action and de-transition. And so, you know, that brought like that kind of made the whole YouTube thing sort of a problem because it's like, well, I considered just like shutting down my channel or I could, you know, come out and then not talk about it or I could come out and talk about it.

Ultimately, I decided to come out and talk about it. And lately, my videos have focused more on, you know, not only my own personal de-transition experience, but also just kind of like going through the change in my perspective of like, you know, what, like what does it mean to be transgender?

I've been asking myself that question for a long time. It's not as simple as a lot of people might, you know, think that it is on the surface and like just like the social implications of the fact there are a lot of a lot of detransitioners coming out.

And so now I'm focusing more on that issue. And yeah, other than that, I live with my fiance in a little suburb by Chicago and work as a barista.

Oh, nice. I just got an espresso machine. So I'm trying to figure out how to make a good shot. It's a lot more complicated than you would think from a distance, yeah?

Yeah, yeah. Hi, I haven't espresso machine too. And I still haven't gotten it like perfect. It's still coming out kind of sour, but yeah.
