Hi, fam, it's Amara.

Welcome to the Translash podcast where we tell trans stories to save trans lives.

Well, it's that time of the year that so many in our community dread Valentine's Day. With its emphasis

on heterosexual cis love, so many of us feel written out and like our relationships,

including those which are polyamorous or non-monogamous, are invisible. That's why we wanted to

spotlight trans love in this episode.

But not just any old love.

We're talking about T for T, all trans relationships, sex and love-wise.

Now, I know for me that I did not feel real love for myself, Q. Mary J. Blige,

until I began my gender journey. And that then opened up

entirely new possibilities for me, especially with other trans people. And if the current trend of

T for T relationships in our community is any indication, I'm not alone in this. Turn on any app,

and T for T is in profile after profile.

So this week, we're talking to two amazing trans people to discuss their liberatory journey

of trans love and sex. And in departure from our usual style in this podcast, I, along with our guest, will be getting

up close and personal about what turns me on and how it's changed as I've become more comfortable

with who I am. First, we're joined by the incredibly talented artist and producer Zachary Drucker

to talk about T for T, or trans for trans love.

My experience is really unique.

You know, I feel like my subjective experience of the world is expansive as my gender is.

And then I'm able to be all of those things when I'm in a relation to another trans or non-binary person.

Then I sit down with Brittany De La Crayta, an author and essayist, to talk about queer and trans sex as liberation.
