Two husbands, a trans gay man and a cis gay man, discuss issues and share thoughts over a cup of tea once a week. With an aim to being gentle, open and kind and building bridges, this podcast should challenge and make us think.
Harry and Ol are back after a long break, and on #TransAwarenessWeek 2021 they talk about joy - the radical sort of joy that inspires defiance in the face of hatred and prejudice. They also share some joyful memories.
In this episode, Harry and Oliver talk about stereotypes: how they can help trans people through their transition - but how they can also makes things harder.
In a slightly longer episode than usual, Harry and Ol talk about anger, acceptance and how do people in minorities cope with that tightrope.
After a short break, Ol and Harry return to discuss Harry's childhood - and put some context to surgical regret and detransitioning.
Harry and Ol talk coming out, and the personal experiences of that, with their first guests, Jenny and Kirstie, trans and cis women in a lesbian relationship.
Harry and Ol talk allies. What is an ally, why are they important, and how can we all be better? Learning from lots that is written elsewhere, they talk their personal perspectives and experiences. Plus they try homemade iced (fridged) tea.
We talk terminology, Julius Caesar, and dividing and conquering. Oh, and we review a peppermint and liquorice tea!
