Savannah Hauk, Author & Julie Rubenstein, Style Consultant
Understanding the Feminine Crossdressing Experience
To de-mystify, humanize, and celebrate the crossdressing community, providing a positive and realistic understanding through conversation between a crossdresser and a cis-ally.
In this episode, Savannah tells Julie about two specific events that happened a week apart but included the same life lesson. The first was an author event that Savannah (as Chuck) was a part of. The second was a conversation with one of Chuck's work colleague that included the fact that the coworker found Savannah Hauk on social media and realized 'he' was also a 'she'! In both cases, Chuck and Savannah's worlds had suddenly collided into a bigger universe where both sides of our intrepid heroine's gender was on side-by-side display!

In this episode, Savannah asks Judy the question, "Why do women like to wear their partner's clothes? And, why is that okay and MTF crossdressing isn't?" Well, it wasn't that pointed or loaded a question, but it does raise the question of why there are completely common-place and socially accepted manner of quote-unquote crossdressing while those of us who are creating feminine personas are still considered outsiders. Savannah and Judy explore the fabric of Americana where women have been totally accepting wearing their male partner's clothing, and explore why it is that women tend to do it in the first place. Lastly, can correlations be built between what the women do and how men crossdress as women? Let's listen and find out!

In this episode, Julie asks Savannah if she wants to chat about that often-misunderstood, a considered-fringed sub-culture called furries (or fur-dom, or the furry lifestyle). Why do people gravitate to the Furry culture? How did it start? What are the benefits and disadvantages within the community? Is it all fetish and sex? All of Julie's questions and queries are hopefully answered this episode. Come join us because it's going to be a wild ride!

In this episode, Savannah tells Julie another Keystone story, this time the story of Diane and her battle with catastrophic success. What happens when you've been fighting for your true identity your entire life and you make a mental or written plan to finally take all the steps needed to get there. What happens when you find peace several steps before you anticipated? What happens when you no longer hear the clarions and the battle cries and, instead only hear the soft whispers of calm and serenity?

In this episode, Savannah asks Julie why many gender diverse individuals may feel their wardrobe and style has toned down since they first started their journey. From gaining a measure of growing maturity that comes from a truncated second feminine puberty, to normalizing what was once a bedroom fetish to finding outfits more appropriate for a trip to the grocery or coffee house, to slowly gaining practical experience just by the getting out into the world. Whether one finds their way alone or with the help from den mothers, family members or friends, all of us are simply finding what 'suits' us best.

In this episode, Savannah ad Julie read listener responses to a Julie social media post asking about their most memorable euphoric feminine moments. Plenty of ladies replied! Thanks! From that first spinning reveal in a makeup artist's chair to the donning of the wig to complete a feminine persona, to catching the attention of an admirer that might want to buy a lovely lady a drink or spin her around the dance floor, to making the internal realization that they are indeed a 'pretty woman', there are numerous ways to come into one's feminine euphoria.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie discuss a topic that fascinated Savannah from Keystone. Namely, the fact that a young person with trans experience attended Savannah's workshop with the express notion of learning more about what 'crossdressing' means. With Savannah's mind blown, she sits down with Julie to better understand the place of 'crossdressers' within the new trans generations. From a century of the label being closeted to the possibility of sliding into obscurity in the 21st Century, anything and everything is still possible.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie discuss the stark differences and similarities between men presenting as women and the cis-women they are trying to emulate. For years, each gender diverse MTF person has cultivated what they consider to be their own version of the feminine experience, yet may never truly understand what women have gone through in life. Can us crossdressing men truly understand what the struggles of a genetic woman have been and continue to be? Or, are we only privy to our own queer struggles?

In this episode, Judy and Savannah discuss the timeless question, "When is it going to stop being about you?!" For every significant one who discovers or is revealed to that their male's propensity to dress enfemme, there is a high percentage of couples who endure the male partner's 'Pink Cloud' and their sudden obsession with all things feminine. All the while the female partner is wondering whether they themselves will ever see the brightness of the spotlight again. This is not about selfishness. It is about a balance between all parties. It is about remembering that each person in the relationship deserves to be seen, heard, and cherished. From feeling less pretty than their male counterparts to feeling left behind for more furtive feminine fields, Savannah and Judy have a lively discussion about it all.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie discuss all the ways that embracing one's feminine side can reverse the aging process. From the practical and physical aspects of looking younger to the psychological side of being more in touch with the feminine spirit and all the vigor it can bestow, to regressing to a younger age in order to make up precious femme time, a man presenting as a female can bring with it many timeless qualities.

In this episode, Judy and Savannah discuss the following question... "Why does Savannah need to wear heels all the time?". From the want to feel more feminine, distract from large feet, make that booty pop and the tits jut out, to the aura of the overly feminine spirit, Savannah and Judy weigh the pros and cons of wearing only heels.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie do a bit of checking in about books and movies before discussing what it would be like if the crossdressing man's female partner wanted to experience what it would feel like to add a "package bulge" in their boxer briefs. What happens when the heel is on the other foot? Sure, we want to be feminine with our breastforms, hip and booty pads, and waist compression foundation garments. But, could we handle it if our partners wanted to embody the masculine? Savannah votes "yes", of course. And, along the way and with many detours, Julie and Savannah discuss penile packages, genital extenders for intimacy, and more!

In this episode, Savannah brings up to Julie a specific Montana Legislature Senate Bill 458 that aimed to add more concise gender binary language into other existing state laws. As a result, the Two Spirit Society fought back as they felt the bill introduced and passed in October 2023 infringes on their inalienable rights to recognize two-spirit as a gender in their tribal culture. This raises questions about how government can enforce a gender binary limitation on laws when two spirit is a pre-existing cultural belief, and the scientifically recognized gender of Intersex is also at risk of erasure in the state.

In this episode, Julie reads Savannah a letter from a former contact to the FoxandHanger.com business. But this letter is not filled with butterflies and rainbows, oh no. Instead, this letter includes a reference to fun crossdressing in times past, a statement that they had abandoned that practice long ago, and the declaration that they were no longer cool with that scene and that trans folks indeed had a mental disorder and needed to be helped to return to a semblance of normalcy. Julie and Savannah dissect the letter and talk about how every gender diverse journey is different.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie pull a story direct from social media, where a close friend of the podcast regaled her FaceBook wall with a post about her revealing her feminine side to a more conservative neighbor during a holiday party. What started earlier in the evening as "we should go take in a music event" before the reveal became "Don't ever bring 'her' around me because it makes me uncomfortable" after the reveal. Why does ones long personal history sometimes evaporate when we reveal our gender diversity with them? Why can't we all exhibit kindness when discussing our differences and what makes us comfortable and uncomfortable?

In this episode, Savannah brings on a special guest tp chat with Julie... none other than Crystal, the transwoman formally known as 'Jellyfish'. After a Saturday evening out with the girls (including Leigh Anne), Crystal comes on the show with her origin story, her current journey into transition, her efforts to create safe spaces and supportive community around her hometown, and the shocking revelation that when she shared Crystal with her mom, her mom replied with the anecdote that Crystal's own father had been known to and caught dressing in her mom's lingerie. Is there something to be thought about when it comes to how children may inherent an instinctual understanding of their hidden feminine spirit?

In this episode, Savannah brings the story of Baptist Pastor and local Mayor Fred Copeland to Julie, highlighting the tragic tale of a man targeted for his "behind the scenes" crossdressing and the effects it had on his life after a conservative blog site exposed his behaviors to the public. While Copeland addressed his congregation for what had been revealed, and while his family and friends and community seemed to be fully behind him with support, Fred Copeland did take his own life in the aftermath of the doxxing of his personal life.
This is a sensitive subject so we do want to be mindful that this episode could be triggering for some people.

I guess its all about who you're asking.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie discuss what its like to be affected by trauma and how it affects male-to-female crossdressing in both a negative and positive. It has been said that some people escape to their feminine personas because of trauma in their male-centric lives. Some deal with the trauma that comes with societal ignorance and intolerance. At the end of the day, how we cope and how we thrive can only come from within us.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie discuss a letter from a pod listener named Charlotte who asks if the intrepid co-hosts had ever discussed the practice of a male-to-female crossdresser hiding one's femininity under the guise of overt and exaggerated masculinity. From going out for high school football to several tours in the US Navy, the efforts to conform is always heavy lifting and hard work when one just wants to fit in with everyone else.

In this episode, both Savannah is excited to share in a celebration with her co-host Julie. A close friend of the podcast, codenamed 'Jellyfish' (if you know, you know), had begun to share their feminine persona with a couple close lifelong friends and close neighbors. Each has been met with love, support, acceptance and shares of their own. Each reveal is a testament to the kind side of human nature. With the posting of these successes, Savannah and Julie take a journey to discuss what seven important factors should be considered when wrestling with whether to share one's authenticity with others outside the closest and most intimate circle. From the status of one's relationship with the possible secret recipient to levels of confidentiality, from maturity to security, from safety, the recipient's strength of character, to why one should even share their secret in the first place, Savannah and Julie give their thoughts on the matter.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie talk about how hot they both are. No... no... they aren't talking about their amazing physical appearance but rather the difficult times some crossdressing men may encounter when the full glare of summer is upon them. Some may feel self-conscious showing more skin, while others may come close to heat stroke with their wigs and compression and padding on. Still others love other seasons so much more than summer, basking in the ability of the pastels of spring, the earth tones and knee boots of autumn, and the jackets and scarfs of winter. Savannah and Julie pick their favorite seasons, give a couple tips on how to beat the summer heat, and invite everyone to just go on spreading summer lovin'!

In this episode, Savannah is so excited to tell Julie abut her interaction on an Instagram post where a troll tells Savannah she needs to repent, Read the Gospels, and be saved from sin. From that interaction, Savannah decides to think back to episode '5 - Debunking Deuteronomy 22:5' and see what else people who spout one of the 613 Mitzvot should be also adhering to to secure their own places at the right hand of the heavenly Father. Julie and Savannah take a silly and whimsical turn at reviewing other archaic laws, just to prove that a couple dozen sentences about crossdressing in the Bible does not make the act an abomination.

In this episode, Julie asks Savannah to discuss the hot raging news coming from the lush green White House lawns during a PRIDE celebration. Front and at the center of it all... in several ways... was the one and only Rose Montoya. As a mentor and influencer to Julie, Rose Montoya and her breasts were weaponized against her and the Transgender community by conservative media outlets that felt her "rockets' red glare" were both inappropriate at a White House event and a telling reminder and proof that people under the transgender umbrella are indeed vile and perverted. Rosa apologized for her actions and Julie and Savannah break it all down for ya... plus, give their own two cents!

In this episode, Julie asks Savannah how her experience was going to therapy for the first time... as Savannah. Sure, Chuck has been going to therapy for a while now, but this marked the first time the therapist asked Savannah to make an actual "wig to heel" appearance "on the couch". They touch on the actual session experience, the nervousness Savannah felt about showing up for the first time, her concern for receiving validation and acceptance as a serious male-to-female gender diverse individual, and the feelings of being seen and heard in her feminine persona. Julie and Savannah round out the episode for what makes, in their opinion, a good mental heath professional dynamic with the feelings of safety and the ability to be vulnerable being paramount.

In this episode, Savannah joins Julie to read an excerpt from a NEW YORK TIMES article "Always Well Groomed" by Rhona Garelick, an entry that raises questions about what drives the ideals of socially acceptable beauty. From industry determinants to cultural, but fleeting, 'It' standards, from publications and advertisements pushing an agenda of beauty that is not only nearly unattainable but airbrushed and PhotoShop-ed to a degree that no human could very achieve by natural means. And, when it comes to the male-to-female experience, how much harder does society make it and how hard do we make it for ourselves to chase and achieve this beauty standard.

In this episode, Julie lightens the heavy mood from the last couple of weeks to talk about something that affects every woman and male-to-female crossdresser who doesn't live off the grid in a plush forest somewhere... shoes and heels. Julie reads a love letter sent in by a lover of heels, creating a conversation with Savannah about the power of feminine footwear, how best to fill your shoe tree, tips for how to walk in even the most towering stilettos, and the fact that the height of a woman's heel may indeed be reflected in her comfort and confidence in her overall femininity.

In this episode, Savannah comes back from a trip west. She returns with a heavy heart and some of her father's ashes. Per a thought from Julie Savannah sat down to write a letter to her father, finally putting into words and onto paper everything she had ever wanted to share with her dad. Today, Savannah reads that letter aloud in a very emotional pod.

In this episode, Savannah finds out minutes before recording the podcast episode that their father is terminally ill in the hospital without any chance to recover. What bubbles up to the surface is a frank conversation with Julie about Savannah's childhood as the little boy his parents' assumed them to be, how Savannah dealt with their upbringing, the things they felt they missed out on, their ongoing twenty-something anger against their father, and the thirty-something forgiveness finally released from Savannah's heart for the man who has just done the best he knew how to do. Savannah now will never have a chance to tell their father about all that his child has accomplished... but maybe that is good enough.

Above and beyond that, Julie, Savannah AND Judy come together again for day trips to local downtowns, lunches and dinners out, work trips to Starbucks, and a couple hours at the podcast mic to ask Judy questions from our listeners, specifically from the wonderful and supportive wives--the SOs, the Significant Ones--of some of our male-to-female crossdressing husbands. From how Savannah revealed herself to Judy to Judy's processing time to better understand and support how to integrate Savannah into their growing relationship, from fears to cheers, Judy answers the questions that many partners have been asking themselves. Crossdressing men, ask your lovely partner to join in for listening to this episode together. What better time to listen, pause and discuss how Judy's answers line up with yours!

In this episode, Julie and Savannah reconnect after a couple weeks away from podcasting. Julie talks about her new laptop and Savannah regales Julie with her trip to the 13th Annual Keystone Conference in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Other than the conference and workshops as a whole, Savannah comes back with tales from the Significant Ones--the partners of their male-to-female crossdressing mates--more fully understanding the plights of our cis-female partners and their struggles of finding relevant and positive support from other female counterparts who are going through the same trials and tribulations with a man who finds peace with dressing and presenting as a woman. The resources already exist out there in the digital space, but often requires outing themselves in the process and finding just as much negative talk as they were fearful to hear. What can be done to provide a safe environment for crossdressing SOs so they feel heard and safe and educated?

In this episode, Julie brings to the mic and to Savannah her frustration about the hundreds of anti-Trans, anti-Drag, and anti-LGBTQIA+ bills currently under review or in committee in almost every legislative state house in the United States. From a handful of bill written up and introduced in 2018 to almost four hundred active bills introduced since then, the attacks on the queer community continues to rage on. Fueled by hate, anger, fear, religious morales, and a distracting attempt by those in power to make it seem like they are being productive and working on behalf of their constituents, each bill needs to be attacked at every level before they chip away at our rights for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

In this episode, Savannah is inspired by a comment referring to her first TEDx talk where she mentioned she had not told her parents about being gender diverse...nor had any intention of sharing her feminine identity with them. Savannah and Julie discuss the pros and cons of keeping a secret this important and encompassing, when, why and with whom to share with, and how sharing secrets can be vulnerable, scary, dangerous and lifesaving. Each person is different, therefore each person's secret and their choices of confidante is wholly unique to their experiences.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie choose comments and letters from listeners and followers to read on air. From gratitude that Savannah's partner,Judy, was able to voice her own side of their journey together, to agreeing with the distaste for the word 'transvestite', to feeling sadness after deconstructing from enfemme mode back to biological male mode, each listener has a rich story to tell all their own. Savannah and Julie read the letters and comments on air before giving their love, appreciation, and commentary back to each entry. The listeners are what makes this journey worthwhile!

In this second of a two-part episode, Savannah and Julie continue to take a deep dive into the 'at the thing' cute list of all the great benefits significant ones have when coupled with a male-to-female crossdresser. In 'Living with Crossdressing: Defining the New Normal', toward the back of the book, Savannah wrote out a lengthy list of the reasons why a crossdresser's partner would benefit from having a CD in their life. While the list was personal to Savannah and partly wish fulfillment, Julie and Savannah reflect on the contents of that list, dissect each entry, and discuss the underlying pinnings of their obvious and hidden meanings.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie tackle a topic they have touched on many times but never dedicated an episode to. During a podcast appearance with Dr. Dan, Savannah was asked a question about how one would see themselves in their sexuality if they had transitioned from man to woman. Would they consider themselves a heterosexual woman after transition if they started dated men, or would they still be homosexual since they were born a biological male? What sparked first as a very interesting podcast guest scenario question became the genesis of this conversation with Savannah and Julie. From differentiating between biology and birth "sex" to the lack of imperative proof that biology is causation for gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientations, Savannah and Juie get deep into it!

In this episode, Julie reads a letter to Savannah from a 14-year-old individual whose parents found out about their crossdressing. As a result, this teenager is afraid to dress again. Savannah and Julie, both having strong feelings on the topic, spend the episode dissecting the short letter, Julie's response, and what it's like to be a teenager struggling with an inherent sense of their own gender diversity. What can parents do t support their children without overreacting...both in a too-positive and a too-negative way? Savannah also brings up a www.Parents.org article about how to support a queer youth going through the trials and tribulations of sexuality and gender diversity at such a tender age.

In this episode, Savannah reveals to Julie a mind-blowing revelation. During a counseling session, the therapist comments that much of Savannah's current proclivities, life coping skills, and non-confrontational demeanor may have stemmed from a childhood chock full of continued attempts to keep herself safe from emotional harm and invalidation by her parents. Self-preservation is a critical and often-overlooked reason why we continue to exist as a species. Throw in gender diversity in a world that hasn't fully embraced our authenticity and the chance that our parents may withhold their unconditional love from us because we are not fitting into the right 'normal' boxes and you have a ripe recipe full of adulthood triggers and traumas. While those coping mechanisms were internally created to practically protect our younger selves way back then, those tools' relevancy and requirement in our adult lives continuing to shield and protect our inner princess child may have become outdated, dull, and may be hurting as much as it is helping.

In this episode, Savannah comes to the table with Julie with a story of detransition. Chris Beck, a United States Navy Seal, who gained public attention in 2013 after coming out as a trans woman (Kristin Beck), announced in 2022 that he would be detransitioning. Upon investigation, Savannah found an article and interview entitled, "Former Navy SEAL Trans Poster Boy Announces DeTransition: 'Transgender Ideology Is Cultish'" on the Christian Broadcast Network online media outlet. After reading the article and watching the first hour of the two-hour interview, Savannah and Julie needed to discuss the topic. While Chris' detransition is an unfortunate one, his claim that all gender-affirming care and 'the system' behind it is cultish becomes the basis of why it is so important to find the right resources, the right information, the right allies, and the most true version of one's self. While there are some kernels of truth in the interview (needing to make sure children are not medically mangled, not relying on the first medical opinion one hears, etc.), the idea that his experience is a cumulative total sum of what all gender expansive care experiences are for every person's specific gender needs is a dangerous position to take.

In this episode, Julie talks with Savannah about her favorite culture... the drag culture. They discuss RuPaul's Drag Race and how drag in person and in entertainment has gone from the underground to the mainstream of pop culture. From NYC's Lucky Cheng's to 'We're Here", drag and the culture it represents has been int he zeitgeist for at least the last fifty years. And, as it becomes more a part of the social narrative more and more ultra conservative lawmakers have come forward to propose state-level bills banning government funding for Story Hours, set age requirements for drag shows, or ban venue drag performances outright. While some feel our national morality is at stake, the truth is drag performers and the human being under the glitter and foundation are just as valid as everyone else.

In this episode, Savannah is excited to have Julie watch a newly launched whiskey commercial which tells a lovely holiday season family tale of transgender identity. Added to that is a Mars Halloween Bite: New Nanny Twix commercial from a Halloween or two ago. And, finally, talk springs up about the release/banning/re-release of the Zola commercials on the Hallmark Channel a few years ago. From outrage of a lesbian kiss and wedding, to a boy in a dress in public, to any possible outcry about an elderly man trying on makeup in secret before the holidays, Savannah and Julie give each a look from both sides of the entertaining intermissions that put the LBGTQIA+ community front and center.

In this episode, Savannah reminds Julie of yet another accidental reveal between her and a work vendor while she was quarantined but working from home. In the aftermath of her revealing herself in full to this work partner, Savannah was graced with a response she never would have expected. In the letter back, the vendor spoke about her own daughter being "beyond the binary" and their perchance for preferred pronouns is "whatever". Julie and Savannah talk about the lovely letter itself, the fact we really never know how many people we meet in our lives who, in fact, are also part of the LGBTQIA+ community, and that if we put ourselves and our authenticity to the test we might find that the reception will be surprising and amazing.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie chat about the importance of crossdressng men having a solid validating support system. Sometimes, that takes the form of a loving and supportive partner. Sometimes, the intimate partner cannot or will not take on the role of a validating, guiding, and supportive "girlfriend'. Not the role of an intimate girlfriend or wife, but that of a "girlfriend" or "den mother" who can help you with your fashion and style, be someone to lean on for bravery and confidence, and be one to emphatically chat up about all the adventures you've had. In real life, a crossdressing man's wife or girlfriend cannot fill that role for one of many of their own personal reasons. But, just as women have their own circle of friends they rely on and confide in, male-to-female crossdressers need the same things for themselves in order to enjoy healthy and confidence-building experiences.

In this episode, Savannah talked to Julie about what PRIDE means to her, reflecting on the local PRIDE event she missed this year due to COVID, binge-watching season 11 of the 1981 New York Gay Community themes of American Horror Story: NYC, and thinking about how far Savannah has come over the last several years. Like looking at Transformation Tuesday pics on social media, the end of the year is always a great opportunity to see your evolution in mind, body and spirit as it comes to your life, in general, and feminine authenticity. Julie tells a story of supporting her daughter's sense of self and fashion style by working toward your own choices in accessorized increments. There is a fine line between the pursuit of blending, standing out, and being authentic. Enjoy your holidays and have an amazing New Year!

In this episode, Julie asked the question on social media, "How do I feel when I change out of my femme persona?". From sadness to despair, from self-reflection to self-assessment, Savannah and Julie read some of a bevy of listener comments that address how crossdressing men feel and deal when their emotional and psychological states when its time to de-transform back into male mode. While some men have a general sense of melancholy when they put away their feminine identities after their femme time to shine, others fall into anguish because they don't know when they might next feel the satiny caress of their feminine wardrobe against their body. Finding balance to express each and every of your gender expressions is critical to healthy mental health for yourself and how you interact with others. The darkness of the proverbial closet is more than the lack of light ... it also can cast a shadow on the person you need to be.

In this episode, Savannah comes to the pod with a little fire and anger in her belly. Julie has to talk her off the proverbial ledge as they dissect the re-emerging tactic of the use of the word "grooming" as it gets applied to the queer community by conservative or political groups trying to cast aspersions on members of the LGBTQIA+ community through misinformation, suppression of information and resources and equality, and the fanning of the flames of fear mongering against people they already consider require purging. How did the definition of grooming go from being an issue of hygiene to being akin to accusations of pedophilia? And, based on this negative definition of "grooming", Savannah and Julie raise up all sorts of other ways in which the conservative masses could be considered groomers when it comes to indoctrinating each other and their youth with conspiracy theories, misinformation, religious upbringing, and cultural exposure. And, as Savannah points out, she did not have access to the internet, LGBTQ+ studies in school, public pro-pride groups, or drag queen story hours in her youth. Yet, somehow, Savannah still managed to exist.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie discuss the pros and cons of a purely segregated trans queer life spent on social media versus living a life IRL. From the safety to the social media wall to its limits, from the validation of found community and sisters from around the globe to staying hidden from family just sitting in the next room, from the expansiveness of the internet to the perils of real life, what is the best course for you? Can an avatar existence trump emerging into real world? While some may be perfectly content to stay at the keyboard and pose for the camera, others may need to break away to follow their intended path for something more tangible.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie get a bit angry at the organized and targeted attempts by lobbies and hate groups masquerading as morally just literary commandos with the singular purpose in mind to ban as many LGBTQIA+, minority-driven, activism-minded, and racially-diverse books from our nation's school curriculums and public library system's shelves. As an LGBTQIA+ author and a community ally, this pod duo try to raise awareness for a rowing literary and accessibility concern for our queer youth!

In this episode, Savannah and Julie tackle a topic that has plagued generations of family members... the dreaded family-centric holidays. Those holidays where we have been taught and told are magical and all about family values and togetherness. The famous Norman Rockwell depiction of the joyous Thanksgiving dinner with smiling family members around the table isn't a reality for many of us, especially those with dysfunctional dynamics that must be burdened because we, as blood relatives, have an unwritten obligation to commune in these times and on these days. How can you survive hosting or guesting through the holidays? Savannah and Julie tackle a list of quick tips and tricks with anecdotes, experiences, and silliness. This can be a difficult time of year and hope this can make the season a little brighter and easier.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie respond to listener and personal DM comments about Significant Ones seeing their enfemme partners for the first time IRL. From cis-female wives' and girlfriends' trepidation and anxiety of the anticipation of seeing her male partners dressed as women in front of their eyes to the male partners' concern and fear of outright rejection, the first in-person interaction between crossdressing men and their female partner can be a scary event. What will happen? Will it go positively or negatively? Will the experience create a better relationship dynamic or a worse one? Will the crossdresser immediately retreat to their closet even if the female partner is accepting and loving? Savannah and Julie peel back the first couple layers of the first reveal onion to. hopefully give their CD and SO listeners something to think and talk about.

In this episode, Julie and Savannah chat about one of Savannah's favorite things... the movies! Growing up, many gender diverse folks of the 1970s, 80s, 90s, and the early aughts only found characters similar to themselves on the silver screen. From the crossdressing antics of "Some Like It Hot", "Tootsie", and "Mrs. Doubtfire" to the more serious and irreverent treatments of the gender fluid community with "To Wong Foo...", "Kinky Boots", and "Transamerica", the movies have come a long in their portrayals of the gender fluid experience.
Here is a list of trans and gender fluid films through the ages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_feature_films_with_transgender_characters

Along the way,Savannah and Julie weigh in with their own experiences with the word, and words like it. And, without, fail, Savannah swoops in with a history lesson about Magnus Hirschfeld and the genesis of the T-word--and its place in the world.Some people hate the word, some people love the word, some are ambivalent to it. Regardless of how the word "transvestite" makes one feel--based on its storied past and its various uses--we cannot overlook the strength of its origin.

YOU"RE LISTENING TO BLUE SKY
In this blue sky episode, Julie, Savannah, and Judy talk about the support, questions, messages, and letters/cards received about how she lives with a crossdresser. Savannah is the first to admit her faults, mistakes, traumas, and triggers, knowing that to make the relationship work requires constant communication and, sometimes, professional support and help. Therapy is not a bad word and shouldn't be treated as such. And, before all of that, The Fox and the Phoenix Podcast sizzles up some of the fat that was too much for the regular episodes. AND REMEMBER, The Fox and the Phoenix Podcast is going on a short break to rest up for the fall season of 2022!

In this episode, Savannah surprises Julie with a secret behind-the-scenes project where Savannah reviewed and remastered the very first The Fox and the Phoenix Podcast episode ever recorded together. While Julie thought the surprise was listening to the podcast trailer, the real surprise was the joy of reflecting on the time they have spent together as community advocates, pod co-hosts, and close friends. As the team closes in on their first 100 episodes, this seemed the perfect was to both look back at their humble beginnings and look forward to an amazing future together.

In this episode, Julie brings a juicy and scandalous topic to the podcast table, asking Savannah what the difference is between crossdressing as a kink versus as a way of life. After a great diatribe about snoring and a shared love for music--and Savannah's explanation of how DSM-5 defines transvestic disorder--Julie and Savannah get into the nitty gritty of how sensuality is not just a component of the kink scenes but also a normal part of tapping into the divine feminine spirit as a human being. While we can point at others and say that what they are doing must be a kink, unless we have had a conversation or "walked a mile in their shoes", it is only our specific narrow and uninformed moral viewpoints that tell us something is a kink or not.

In this episode, Savannah asks Julie the very important question, "Why would my cisgender female partner be intimidated by my attempts to look like a feminine woman?". From generations of women competing with each other for the attentions of men, to years of grotesque media practices of making women feel they are underachieving in their own beauty department, to feeling their skills for makeup and fashion pales in comparison to what their male partner achieves when they put effort into their feminine expression, cisgender women who are partners to crossdressing men have lots of angst, triggers, and self-consciousness about what it means to be feminine in the face of a man who may seem to do it better than they do as natural genetic girls.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie discuss the pros and cons, and the hopes and fears, of National Pride Month. How do people feel about attending local events or about corporations suddenly changing their logos to rainbow colors to celebrate pride along with the rest of us? Has PRIDE become commercialized? And, if so, is that a good or a bad thing? How do closeted community folks feel about PRIDE when they have to face the fear of venturing out to local events where they may be recognized in some way? With PRIDE comes so many intense positive and negative emotions for the participants, the sponsors, the bystanders, and the opposition. The only question you need to ask yourself is how you celebrate PRIDE within yourself.

In this episode, Savannah tells Julie about her struggles with the seemingly simple--yet vastly complex--task of putting a flag out in one of the street-facing flowerbeds. While Savannah admits she isn't a big fan of domestic chores, yard work, or repairs, this specific task included so many nuanced dilemmas for her. Why, you ask? Because the colors of this flag weren't the red, white and blue of the unity of the country, but the symbolic baby blue, pink and white of the transgender flag. When living in a conservative state with neighbors who have already shown their colors and laid claim to their anti-LGBTQ+ perspectives, this simple display of bright colors was way more than the simple planting of a physical flag. In the end, the gesture was more symbolic... and a matter of displaying pride in the face of naysayers and to be that beacon of visibility for others looking for community.

In this episode, Julie brings to the table a series of questions that a listener posted. When did you discover yourself? How long did you deny and purge the feminine side of yourself? When and what motivated you to finally make the decision to say "eff it!" and start living a more authentic life? Savannah and Julie tackle all of these questions--as well as other responses to the same post--with personal experiences, anecdotes, and an apt metaphor of a person seeing their feminine spirit as an inflated beach ball which they can decide to puncture, force deeper under the water, or cling to to use as a flotation device.

Episode
In this episode, Savannah tells Julie all about her experience of a feminine and transformative boudoir shoot. From the research for the right photographic partner, to the preparation prior to the session day, to the enjoyment and rigors of the actual sessions, to seeing herself as a professionally photographed sensual siren, Savannah was amazed to see herself in a way she previously only dreamt about. Once the day was over, an elation encompassed her and a version of the Pink Fog descended upon her as Savannah wanted to share her joyful feelings and pride and fulfilling a lifelong bucket list goal. Why should one seek out a boudoir shoot? Simply put, the camera--int his case--shows you at your absolute stunning and sensual best... forever capturing your divine feminine.

In this episode, Savannah brings on a special guest for Julie to meet. Sage (SG) is a twenty-something person who recently came to terms with both their sexual identity and their non-binary gender identity and resulting and supportive gender expressions. While the focus of the episode is focused on Sage's adopting the appropriate "they/them" pronouns to supplement their existing "she/her" pronouns, it is nearly impossible to not want to dig deeper into Sage as a person and their struggles and triumphs as they evolve beyond indoctrinated and socially accepted norms. From the physical dangers of chest binding to the importance of validation and support, Sage takes Julie and Savannah on a quick journey into what makes them who they are.

In this episode, Julie invites Savannah to listen to a letter from a listener who just wants to be "one of the girls". She just wants to be able to comment on a woman's clothing choices or accessories and be able to get those same words of affirmation in return. On a more deeper note, she would love to dress more feminine or carry a little pink Coach purse so that she can be complimented and validated for her feminine spirit. In a world of cliques and have/have nots, it is important to have a loving support system filling your feminine wings to lift you to greater soaring heights. All people, in whatever form they take, needs and deserves validation in whatever form they choice to express themselves. Wanting to belong to a group and wanting to feel the loving warmth of true validation is not only wanted, but also well deserved.

In this episode, Savannah shares with Julie a somewhat bigoted and hateful meme that one of her neighbors posted on social media. They posted that until Jesus can be talked about in the classroom, gender shouldn't be. In the wake of Florida's "Don't Say Gay" bill which, in part, bans school administrators, counselors, and teachers from being able to discuss the gender and sexual diversity, the meme from someone who lives less than a hundred yards from where Savannah lives and records hit too close to home--both metaphorical and literally. What follows is a discussion of what both sides may be looking and hoping for with the passage/overturning of bills such as this one. Why is discussion of boy/girl as gender okay while any alternative to the social norms faces bans, censure, and discrimination? Why does sexual education start and end with biological boy meets biological girl? While Julie and Savannah usually stay away from politics and religion, this series of topics just hit too close to home.

In this episode, Savannah reads a note from a woman named Andrea--a cis-female woman with a male-to-female crossdressing boyfriend. In the message, she relates her realization and understanding that sexual attraction is purely based on that single first impression... based on that single look across a crowded room. Whether a trans-woman or trans-man, a mtf or ftm crossdresser, or a glorious enfemme celebrity, the manner and demeanor of the people we find attractive is not truly based on biology or the genitalia between one's legs... but based on how they look and carry themselves. We may not be romantically attracted to these same individuals, but it won't stop our brains and bodies from craving the dish we see.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie have a little chat about the people they meet in their daily lives and how the tone in which different types of people make their introductions. Seemingly and more stereotypically, cis-women and men in touch with their feminine energy seem to harness that energy with softer and more empathetic prose while more masculine types are direct, to-the-point, and lacing some of the pro-functionary pleasantries most expect while conversing with strangers. From there, Julie digs into Savannah's second "Living with Crossdressing" book to list out the stereotypically socially-accepted terms we assign to men and women: hard vs. soft, nurturing vs. protective, dominant vs. submissive. How you present yourself to the world is not just confined to a visual medium as it encompasses very channel of social and human interaction... texting included. You can even use the printed and texted mediums as gyms for exercising your feminine creative energy.

In this episode, Savannah can't contain her frantic excitement and bursting pride as she regales Julie with the baby steps she took between episodes. While to many these baby steps seem minor and insignificant, to many a crossdressing individual find them to be almost insurmountable. Savannah tells Julie the stories of how she decided to checkmark a certain gender box on her medical intake form before her first medical checkup in several years. Not only that, Savannah also did something else for the first time... something less formalized than medical documentation but more visible in the everyday world...she got her eyebrows waxed for the first time!! Listen in to hear all the deets!

in this episode, Savannah and Julie both come to the mic with the same topic... that of a gender diverse person as feeling "trans enough". Referring to a listener's Facebook post on the same topic and the resulting comments to the post, Savannah and Julie tackle the question, "What determines what is trans enough?". While the galaxy of gender diversity goes so far and wide of simply being 100% masculine or 100% feminine, many feel it is their responsibility to determine another person's level of trans-ness. Of course, we all want to find our LGBTQ+ tribe and to be validated for how we feel about ourself as folx using the art of crossdressing to express our gender identity. But, when that external validation may turn to invalidation, it is the responsibility of each of us to discover and embrace however our diversity shows up and realize... we are all TRANS ENOUGH!

In this episode, Savannah introduces Pattie Smith to Julie. Pattie is a male-to-female dual-gender individual who finds and honors her feminine spirit through underdressing during the work week. Married to her high school sweetheart, Pattie's wife thought that Pattie's gender identity issues were a passing phase when she found out about Pattie's gender therapist. What comes from it is Pattie's personal and current balance for their masculine and feminine side, wearing camis and bras under their male work clothes. Sometimes a hint of mascara or filling the bra with breast forms while on a work errands makes Pattie's experience more complete. Julie and Savannah talk about Savannah's underdressing routine, its benefits in specific situations, and how it can be used to the greatest effect.

In this episode, Julie and Savannah unpack male-to-female crossdressing for men entering the second half of their life. What does crossdressing after 50 look like? With a lot of help and input from listeners in the same era and evolution, Julie and Savannah read the comments and dissect what's its like to finally develop a feminine energy and/or persona when retirement may be closer than you think, the children have grown up and possibly having families of their own, and you are left with a possibly dramatic change in your personal and interpersonal social dynamics.

In this episode, Julie regales Savannah with stories of clients who have a specific viewpoint of when they consider that they themselves are crossdressing. What follows is a mind-blowing pivot of what everyone has defined the term crossdressing... that crossdressing means you are dressing in clothes defined for the opposite gender. What if, though, crossdressing was not about dressing opposite of your biology, but instead opposite of your gender identity? What if crossdressing was what you were doing when dressing as a biological man even though you always considered yourself psychologically a woman? Is it still considered crossdressing if you were masquerading in boy's and men's clothes because you wanted the world to accept you and keep you safe, just because you were born in the masculine gender? Julie and Savannah dig deep into their experiences and intellect to turn another demystifying topic on its earring and on its heels!

In this episode, Savannah asks Julie the question, "How do you accept yourself in a world where many do not share that same acceptance of you?". It is very very difficult to build a solid foundation of self-love and self-confidence when every indicator and comment and advertised worldview seems to point to there being something unwelcome about the person you are. Yes, the world is slowly changing its view of gender diverse people and their place in society, but that change is slow to happen and hasn't been the formative experience many of us grew up with--hence our hiding in our proverbial closets for so long... for too long. Finding a community or an outlet of support--locally or through the world wide web--is so important to our psychological wellbeing and growth as a person. While the fight may be ours alone, we can wage it with the right allies at our side.

In this episode, Julie brings to the podcast a letter from the lovely Keisha, the wife of a crossdressing husband. Julie reads her letter of concern, angst, love and support of her partner. Is she flaunting her own genetic femininity if she knows her male partner doesn't have the opportunity to do the same? Why doesn't she channel her own divine femininity the same way as her partner is able to? From turning the masculine and feminine dynamic of the relationship upside-down and inside-out, to the wife finding herself becoming the white knight protector of her enfemme partner when they go out in public, to wanting to be as supportive as possible when it comes to allowing her husband to experiment and explore his femme self while trying to keep an eye on the house finances, the relationship dynamics of a crossdressing man and their cis-gender partner is not the typical one we grew up with.

In this episode, Julie brings up a recent consultation with a young trans person who bristled at the words crossdresser and persona. This young person has always considered herself a woman and didn't want her existence reduced to that of a crossdresser. Savannah gets the tiniest bit triggered by the comment but she and Julie go into a deep intense dive to better understand the repulsion or attraction of the term of crossdresser as it affects one's own sense of self. From disliking the idea of trying on a wig to challenging each other about what motivates our perceptions of labels--for ourselves and for others--our co-hosts leave it all on the table for you!

In this episode, Savannah welcomes Julie back from her vacation to Mexico and fo ask her opinion of a problem Savanah had been facing during her time away. Why didn't she feel like dressing in her feminine expression? Was the novelty of having a female persona wearing off after 50 years? Was she failing as a dual gender individual because Savannah felt she was not paying proper homage to her feminine spirit? How was she suppose to get her femme mojo back? The questions get explored by our dynamic duo and the answers to Savannah's problem are universal to anyone who requires a bit of a vacation, some time off, or just a moment to reflect on self care! And, Julie tells Savannah all about the book, "The Giving Tree". Don't be a stump!

In this episode, Savannah comes to Julie with a passionate plea for parents and partners of those in the gender queer community to have patience, perseverance, and practical experience when seeking out literature for yourself and those whom you love. One recent LGBTQ+ best seller children's picture book sold and promoted on Amazon was actually an example of anti-transgender transphobia propaganda. Savannah and Julie talk about the importance and necessity of finding the literature that best supports education and inclusivity for allies and the people they love and want to support in their positive journeys. From the genesis of more overt queerness in mainstream comics to folx using the right search terms to find the appropriate reading materials, this is a topic important to those who may still feel alone when embodying their authentic spirit.

In this episode, Savannah circles back back around to the topic of the widely misunderstood notion that labeling yourself as a crossdresser means that you may see yourself--or others may see you--as having a casual interest in dressing as your feminine self. Similar to the "just a crossdresser" episode of the past, this topic is a triggering and touchy topic for Savannah. She and Julie spar about whether the label of crossdresser designates one's gender identity versus whether it simply describes the mechanism in which one is able to affect one's gender expression. Julie talks about the fact that people can wear so many labels at the same time, not just that of "crossdresser". From talks of the new "Annie" on New York's Broadway to giving two animals the same color and listing them out loud sounds pornographic, Savannah and Julie take you on a passionate ride!

In this episode, Savannah starts off the New Year right (well, at least January) by bringing by the podcast's first in-studio guest! The lovely Michele comes by to meet Julie and chit-chat for a few minutes before Savannah and Julie have to say their goodbyes and get to the topic at hand. What happens when the significant one of a crossdressing partner tells them they are loved and supported, but the crossdressing one still seems to prefer to dress up in private? Is it because the girlfriend is doing something the wrong? Even after researching and reading one of the "Living with Crossdressing" books, the girlfriend still worries that her boyfriend will always want to dress in a feminine way without her support. Julie and Savannah dig into this meaty topic and unravel the indoctrinated effects of lifelong shame, the familiarity of years of dressing alone, the worry that the support will suddenly disappear, and more.-

In this episode, Savannah reads a social media comment from a friend. The message concerns a previous episode and asked if the duo could touch on the relationship dynamic of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell", where the partner of the crossdressing man knows about his femininity, supports him enough to know he needs an outlet for his gender diversity, but really wants to know nothing about the details of when, where, and how (and what and why). How do couples make the new dynamic work without resentment setting in? How can couples create a contract of compromise where both parties feel like they have gained something--not lost something? Every situation is unique and nuanced, but not a lost cause if all parties come to the table with open minds and hearts.

In this episode, Julie asks the most important question, "How do we get out there again when in-person conferences return?". With 2022 upon us, many trans- and LGBTQ+-friendly conferences and workshops and getaways are coming back into a semblance of normalcy and face-to-face interaction. How does one prepare for a return to in-person events or, better yet, for one's first time traveling to and participating in a multi-day planned event? Julie and Savannah talk about the tips and tricks for preparation--from how to pack to how to interract--as well as telling a few stories of personal experiences along the way. -

YOU'RE LISTENING TO BLUE SKY
In this episode, after a wonderful serenade of Julie's singing stylings, Julie and Savannah go down the rabbit hole of the actual lyrics of an Alanis Morrissette song off the 'Jagged Little Pill' album. They talk about body image and more!
In this episode, Savannah comes to the podcast tables to tellJulie how unhappy and uncertain she is about her feminine body, especially in the full-length photos she is asked for sometimes. From the feelings of being overweight to failing to live up to the appreciable social norms for the feminine, Savannah has shed away from full-body pics until now... trying now to face it head on. Julie gives tips on how Savannah can be more self confident in this regard... letting her know she is not alone in feeling this way about one's body and that continued practice, exposure, clothing and posing can help to make Savannah feel better, more in control, and more confident about her femininity when it comes to the head-to-toe camera-ready feminine presentation.

In this episode, Julie tells Savannah and the listeners the top tips and tricks for how to find success in one's male-to-female gender expression. From the right fit of what you wear, to what actually works best to wear, to find both the accessories and confidence to step out from a highly organized and intentional closet, Julie spills the tea about those fashion concepts that any of us can implement quickly.

IN THIS EPISODE, Julie and Savannah have been graciously invited to a private event hosted by Susan Holtz and the officers of Chicago Gender Society. But, the main event is Julie and Savannah putting on a podcast show for their live virtual audience--a first for our dynamic duo. After a bit of warm up chatter, Julie and Savannah yield the floor to Susan for a brief bio of herself and a history of this important Chicago-based group. Everyone else has a chance to share their story before the entire group moves on to The Fox and the Phoenix Podcast's first LIVE question and answer session. From wigs versus natural hair, from bare shoulders to the right outfit, from the stories of these women's first time going out to be embraced by those who love them most dear, the episode is a light-hearted, personal, and informative glimpse into the minds of folx in the gender galaxy.
In this episode, Julie and Savannah dive into a section of Savannah's second "Living with Crossdressing" book, namely "Types of Crossdressers". Spring-boarding from last week's episode and sharing a letter Savannah received from a website email letter, Julie and Savannah discuss the types of crossdressers dual-transgender folx can be and can express in their own way. They talk about how living in the non-binary does not mean you have to chose--or stay--in a specific or narrow swim lane of gender expression. Many male-to-female folx may reside within the same category of expression all their lives, or they may evolve, leap, or switch to other ways of expression, or they embody several categories at the same time. The most important point in to be happy wherever you decide to rest your heels.
In this episode, Savannah brings to the podcast table her concern for a dear friend who is had her own fears about changing her gender expression when it comes to her femininity. From a Girl-Next-Door vibe to the pinks and frills and ponytails of the world of Sissies, how does an established and admired social media darling go from a developed visual trans-brand many in the community look up to a brand new idea of what femininity looks and feels like for her? Julie and Savannah bat around in conversation the need to be authentic to your own needs above all others. Cast fear aside, embody and embolden your truth, and never break at the words of the naysayers.
In this episode, Julie talks about the state of traveling in a COVID world as she talks about her own trip out-of-state recently. Then, she asks Savannah for her experiences and thoughts about those men who only have their business or periodic travel as their avenue and outlet to explore their femininity. How does one juggle the need to bring their femme selves in their luggage versus the risk of having their bags searched in the TSA line in front of colleagues, friends or family. What about other forms of transportation? Planes, trains, and automobiles!
in this episode, Julie shares her struggles and sadness over a prospective client who asked for a look book return after their wife found out about it. Then, the conversation turns to married partners who see their husband's once-a-month crossdressing activities as an addiction--confronting their man with the premise that "if it wasn't an addiction, they would be able to stop doing it for the sake of the family". Well, the act of crossdressing takes many forms, but the underlying reasons why men take on a feminine persona is not about being addicted to satin and lace but is about unlocking the feminine spirit and energy within and fostering and developing it in a way that allows for a more true human authenticity. Julie and Savannah tackle this difficult subject head-on!
In this this bonus episode, Julie and Savannah wish everyone a safe and fun Halloween. If you're a dad to small boys or girls, it's an opportunity to be their super heroine or fairy princess.
In this episode, Savannah voices her concern to Julie about how many people--inside and outside the LGBTQ+ community--see crossdressers as "just crossdressers". This feeling of marginalization goes beyond just those people who misunderstand what crossdressing is, but extends also to some affirmed women who may have discarded or forgotten they once identified as crossdressers, too. Once deep in those weeds, Julie and Savannah also work with metaphors of the crossdressing journey as a "train with many stations and stops", as well as make a temporary stop to talk about the difference between wigs and natural hair.
In this episode, Julie--after a two-week vacation hiatus--returns with a vengeance to ask Savannah about her first true reveal to a girlfriend. From sharing with her first girlfriend, to the opportunity to try on a beautiful prom dress, to the ups-and-downs of revealing to future girlfriends, to an ex-wife on her own journey of sexual self-discovery, to the present day... each reveal was unique and wrought with its own unique challenges based on the specific age of innocence, the societal awareness and climate at that moment, and increasing and mounting fears or perceptions of possible acceptance or rejection for each occasion. All this leads to how Savannah sees herself now... a human being built on all the moments she has experienced.
In this episode, Julie shares her angst for her upcoming trip to the beautiful state of Colorado--visiting the picturesque locales of Aspen and Denver. After months in a pandemic quarantine, a reluctant social reintroduction, and a two-week trip to visit family, Julie just wanted to buy clothes for the trip that would serve to allow her to feel comfortable, blend in, and just be seen (or not seen) as one of the hundreds of other denizens in town. Of course, Savannah worries about Julie losing herself to a style and authenticity not her own and shares her own worries and struggles of standing out and blending in when crossdressing and out in public. Sometimes, the efforts to be accepted are not in line or the same as being true to your own spirit.
In this episode, Julie admits that she took down a post on a Facebook member group after being called out with a "crossdressers aren't trans" comment. What follows is a conversation about being bullied and how it affects our sense of belief and belonging. How do we stand up for ourselves in the face of adversity, whether the adversary is coming from a place of malice, ill intent, ignorance, or superiority? Whether a male-to-female crossdresser or a cis-female LGBTQ ally, it all takes practice and purpose on a daily basis.
In this episode, Julie and Savannah chat about how the next-door neighbors finally happened about Savannah. Smells like an opportunity to share!! On the heels of that revelation, our co-hosts tackle the topic of the subjective labels that women are forced to wear--bitch, slut, whore, sexy, goddess, fierce--and how it relates to how people see us and how we see ourselves. How do these words take our power away.. and how do we gain power from them? How do crossdressing men deal with taking power from their own labels like "tranny", "sissy", and more?
In this episode, Julie brings a letter from a dual-gender person named Amelia. In this letter, Amelia reveals herself to certain family members she was ready to share with. As the reading goes on, we discover Amelia also was mindful enough to both ask and answer common questions and misconceptions about revealing "I am a crossdresser" to another who is new to being associated to someone in the community. Savannah and Julie dissect the letter and the questions, also adding in their own stories along the way!
In this episode, Savannah has news she wants to share with Julie! On a trip back to New York and Connecticut, Savannah's cis-girlfriend, Judy, took things to the next level by sharing Savannah's identity to her daughters and their families. What results is a wonderful collection of stories about revealing one's authenticity, and seeing and hearing acceptance and celebration of gender diversity through the lenses of family members who matter most.
IN THIS EPISODE, Julie broaches the topic to Savannah of how male-to-female crossdressing people can find ways to tap into their feminine side by way of exploring the art of feminine body language. By exploring the physical space in and around the body, non-binary men can better equip themselves in small unassuming ways with mindfulness of how they carry themselves in public. From paying attention to how women express themselves through delicate hand motions, to achieving the illusion of a smaller physical frame, to practicing posture, poise, and walking... there are always simple tips and tricks to succeeding in our physical feminine presentations.
IN THIS EPISODE, Savannah pitches the idea that finding out, discovering, or being told that you are in a relationship with a male-to-female crossdressing partner isn't as glamorous a situation as one might think. From the inherent worry of competing "woman to woman" with your male partner on who can achieve the most feminine expression, to worrying about whether the male partner's expectation for femininity is something outside the significant one's reach, to the concern that the cis-partner will be left behind, what may result is a power play to gain control or the upper hand in the relationship. Whether based in fear, protection, embarrassment, or shame, each partner needs to be held responsible with the human life that hold in their hands.

Part 1 of 2.
IN THIS EPISODE, Julie surprises Savannah with a savory and sweet salvo of audio clips from previous favorite and important episodes... all leading up to this milestone 50th episode. Even Savannah has a trick up her sleeve to surprise the lovely Julie. From spending a year of virtual holidays together to talking about a myriad of male-to-female crossdressing topics, Julie and Savannah enjoy a trip down memory lane for the birth of The Fox and the Phoenix Podcast.
In this episode, Julie brings up a topic from a friend who was on the verge of purging her feminine life after being subjected to people talking in a derogatory way about queer folx in front of her while in male mode. This brings up all sort of pain points because we, as a community who typical lead a stealth life, overhear so many disgusting and anti-LGBTQ+ viewpoints from friends, colleagues, neighbors and family members. Why would we continue striving for an authentic part time feminine life when all we hear is stigmatic dogma about "our kind"? The answer? Find validation with the right communities and the most relevant resources. From there... the pursuit of truth, authenticity, courage and self-confidence can be found... and fostered.
And, if all that wasn't enough, Savannah finally admits to Julie that Julie was right. Why? Because a certain Starbucks patron and cyclist told Savannah that she had struck his fancy the first time they had met. Must have been the silver sci-fi anime hair!! ;-)
In this episode, Savannah and Julie discuss the wild ride of the no-longer secret TEDx Talk Savannah did for the North Carolina State University TEDx affiliate program. The dynamic duo break down the process for Savannah, from the submission development process to actually standing on stage and facing the production crew and cameras. Savannah and Julie's hope is that this TEDx Talk can raise awareness for the community, help to empower those needing support and those who have a loved one struggling with their understanding what crossdressing is, and show that anyone can be visible and vocal--without being the villain!!
In this episode, Julie asks Savannah what the hub-bub is about with all the secrecy around one of Savannah's clandestine projects. Well, the secret is out as Savannah shares that she was selected to do a TEDx Talk and that this would be the first dual-gender male-to-female crossdresser-centric TEDx Talk ever recorded!! From the angst of the fast-track preparation to the the pressure Savannah put on herself of wanting to do the best talk she could for crossdressing men everywhere, Savannah talks about how this moment will change her forever, making her more vulnerable and visible to anyone who happens across the Talk once it goes online for everyone to see--including if family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers connect the dots between Savannah's female and male personas.
In this episode, Julie and Savannah get into the meat of things as they chew the fat on wanting the extra junk in the trunk, bodacious ta-tas, and hips that don't lie. What are the methods in which to transform the inherently male physique into the woman of your dreams, both on your body and staring back at you in the mirror. From water to food products to foam to silicone, these co-hosts cover the bases for getting that base... no trouble.
In this episode, Savannah regales Julie with her meeting with a crossdressing man, Johnnie, and their wife, Angie. During that meeting, Angie mentioned her search for resources to help her process what her husband had shared seemed to be a fruitless expedition. From friends and family, to professionals, the clergy, and members of the LGBTQ+ community, the search for understanding what crossdressing is and can mean within a coupling, for them, was wrought with disappointment. Resources are important... very, very important... for both the male-to-female crossdresser and their loved one. How can any of us find enlightenment about what crossdressing means when our thirst for knowledge and understanding is filled with obstacles and misinformation?

In this second parter of our ask and answer session, Julie continues quizzing Savannah with her series of long-awaited questions from the listening audience. From advice from one feminine crossdresser to another, to our co-hosts' favorite moments and episodes, to wanting to know if Savannah ever did share the bottom of her feet with anyone for money, Julie and Savannah tackle it all!
In this episode, Julie surprises Savannah with a series of long-awaited questions from the listening audience. From advice from one feminine crossdresser to another, to our co-hosts' favorite moments and episodes, to wanting to know if Savannah ever did share the bottom of her feet with anyone for money, Julie and Savannah tackle it all!
YOU'RE LISTENING TO BLUE SKY ...
In this episode, Julie speaks passionately and fiercely about how women are viewed and treated in a Man's world, from the workplace glass ceiling for females, to sexual victimization by male predators, to the feelings the fear engrained in the feminine psyche (akin to how many crossdressing men feel when they leave the safety of home) from an early age by guardians and mentors who should have taught them a better way. From there, the conversation gets lighter with Julie's rendition of a song she sang at a wedding and Savannah's inability to remember who became a bloated blueberry at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Lastly, Savannah's talks about her love for crafts and DIYing shows and neutrality about male-centric sports and trivia sometimes leaves her outside social conversations.
In this episode, Savannah airs her grievances to Julie concerning unsolicited private messages through social media where the opening line sounds more like a catcall or pick-up line than a genuine start to a conversation and possible friendship. Has Savannah "aged out" because she has become impatient and intolerant to the gushing pick-up lines versus being utterly flattered by the admiring attention? Maybe, Savannah is finally getting a taste of what women have had to deal with from pursuing men for a multiple of generations? Where is the line drawn dividing good taste and genuine interest with aggressive and unwanted attention? Julie and Savannah tackle this topic from several angles to discuss the somewhat blurry and moving line of whats wanted and appropriate between consenting parties.
In this episode, Julie reads a message from a male-to-female crossdressing person named Candice. In the social media letter Candice describes her experience of coming out to her wife, only to recede back into a self-imposed closet when it came to her feminine identity and gender. Julie and Savannah tackle personal experiences and anecdotes about what's like to choose to lock oneself--or, surprisingly, find oneself--back in the closet. What are the reasons we pace our fashionable cages like lionesses, under metaphorical lock and key? What can we do to ensure we can be comfortable and free in our gender expressions?
In this episode, Julie and Savannah discuss the physical and psychological circumstances and conditions for why crossdressing men feed the need to purge everything that serves as a reminder of their feminine expression. But, purging of all of your wigs and heels and dresses and makeup is purely the physical manifestation of a more deep-rooted issue. Whether the purge is based on a partner's ultimatum, the result of self-loathing and the shame of believing yourself abnormal, the fear of a near-discovery, or simply because you don't feel the urge to dress anymore, the real issue is not about the getting rid of the material reminders of the feminine, but of the mental reminders of part of the spirit you embody.
In this episode, Julie tells Savannah a listener was a little disappointed with the "020 - Gurl Crush" episode. While hearing about how being validated online and in person for our feminine appearance can be fulfilling and uplifting, it neglected to explore the more seedy underbelly of those admirers who cross the line from compliments to more uncomfortable excessive and offensive sexual advances. How do transwomen and male-to-female crossdressers protect themselves from an onslaught of unsolicited sexual propositions, unwanted phallic imagery, and repetitive or unrelenting messages of admiration and objectification? Simply put... you are the one in charge with the power. Don't ever let anyone make you feel "less than" or victimized for the sensual feminine spirit you are.
YOU ARE LISTENING TO BLUE SKY
In this episode, Julie and Savannah harken back to cooler weather by revisiting the winter sun and the chill that grips the air from late October to well into the new year. Julie reminiscences about the erotic nature of New England snow days as a youth, breast reductions, the arcane practices of the ju-jus, and how jewish mothers will always want their children to keep back-up diaries. From a podcast so surreal to the want to be deemed worthy by the right people, and from triggers that we recognize but still fall prey to... sometimes it just comes down to a hard cider and a banana muffin with chocolate frosting in the morning to make the rest of the day better.
In this episode, Julie braves the perceived West Coast-ish juju of the divine femininity and how it applies to those men with necessary feminine personas. We are all comprised of masculine and feminine energy. Some live with these two energies in near-perfect balance and harmony. Other are content with a more consistent masculine or more feminine identity and presentation. For the man who uses crossdressing to express a more binary feminine identity, the idea of the divine feminine takes on a whole new level of meaning. According to Suzanne Kingsbury, “the Divine Feminine is an energy that has been with us since ancient times. Consciousness is basically divided up into the ‘masculine’ side and the ‘feminine’ side, and we need both to achieve our highest creative potential."
In this episode, Savannah reads a Facebook post to Julie from Cristianne K. What follows is a discussion and content dissection about how fetishistic and escapist male-to-female crossdressing early in adolescence and young adulthood can evolve and morph into a more "normalized" and "everyday" feminine expression somewhat disconnected from the sexualized sinews of the past. Savannah and Julie do not demonize or marginalize those who simply enjoy the sexual experiences while dressed enfemme, but focus instead on the fact that some journeys are destined to become grander and more visible as a fully-fleshed and -formed feminine identities. Regardless of the extent and destinations for our feminine dressing, all are welcome and included.
In this episode, Savannah and Julie searched the planet for cis-female partners of MTF crossdressing men. Asking questions about the wonderful benefits of having a crossdressing man in your life to the difficulties that come from such a partnership, Julie and Savannah get to the heart of the what makes these relationships tick... tick... tick... without going BOOM! Each journey has its own story written by two writers. Sometimes the narratives overlap and sometimes they tell completely different tales.
In this episode, Savannah is overly excited to regale Julie with her experience when wife Gaby covertly planned a surprise makeover for her husband Kaitlyn. Staying in a local hotel under the guise of relatives meeting their beautiful baby girl, the four of us even took Kaitlyn out for her first time out in public to a restaurant for sandwiches--GASP! Join Savannah and Julie as they talk through the entire experience... start to finish!
In this episode... Julie and Savannah reach 10,000 listens!! 'Nuff Said!!
Thank you so much to our listeners!!
In this episode, Savannah and Julie revisit the crossdressing experience as it pertains to life during the COVID pandemic. Julie reads messages from listeners with real stories of how social distancing, masks, and being shuttered at home has positively or negatively affected their feminine expressions. While some have used 2020 as a way to further investigate their femininity, others have had to put their femme experiences on hold until the world opens up again.
In this episode, Savannah reads aloud a comment from a social media user on one of her "Living with Crossdressing - Defining a New Normal" Facebook profile post pics. The negative message talks about "... God judging..." her, the fact that no amount of surgery or drugs will change that she "... will always be a man...", and the fact there "... is nothing normal about..." her being a feminine being. Julie and Savannah quickly get to work to unpack the message itself, the possible reasons for such an unsolicited memo, and the whys of the person behind the note. What happens when people receive these messages on a constant basis online--and from friends and family? How do we rise above the negative talk and chaos makers? Take a listen!
YOU ARE LISTENING TO BLUE SKY
In this episode, Julie and Savannah cover a gamut of conversation... from setting realistic expectations when going out to the magic of self-publishing... from Savannah's excitement of wearing top-to-toe fashion and accessories in black and white to doting on her friend Dottie... from the case of the missing laptop to the perils of body positivity... from Julie's musical broadway serenades to her fear of karaoke... all finishing with a love of thigh-high stockings on freshly shaved legs and meaty tucks!
in this episode, Julie talks about the coziness of hot apple cider and asks Savannah about the ending to a recent blog post to better understand how Savannah can take up 75% of her closets and dressers, only be visible for a few hours once a week, but still maintain a healthy 50/50 balance between Chuck's masculinity and Savannah's femininity. How does a dual-gender person keep their femininity "put away" for a large percentage of time without losing sight of that part of their whole self?
In this episode, Julie dips a toe in the water by asking Savannah about going to get a pedicure with her girlfriend. From the soles of her feet, to the massaging and lotion on the calves, to the beautiful deep red polish on her little toes, Savannah regals in positivity of the experience. But, feeling pretty and feminine every time one looks down can be a double-edged sword, especially if violently triggered by the possible appearance of a delivery man peeping at naked painted feet. This, and a lot more, is tackled in this conversation!
In this week's episode, Savannah reveals a deep, hidden secret to Julie... namely, the fact that a member of Instagram approached Savannah through a message to ask if Savannah would be willing to send them pictures of her feet for a fee. What follows is an in-depth discussion about Savannah's fascination about the topic and allure of what a foot fetish is (podophilia), how it compares to adoring other parts of the body (partialism), and whether Savannah should pursue this request... and what to charge!
In this week's episode, Julie and Savannah discuss a topic from Savannah's second book, "Living with Crossdressing: Discovering Your True Identity", where Savannah brings up the fact that our biology and gender identity and expression have little authority over who we find attractive and who we find ourselves drawn to sexually and romantically. The conversation soon morphs into how these same concepts can be attributed to how a cis-partner may see their crossdressing partner. Can partners navigate a path to finding the soul of their partners? Can crossdressing men find it in themselves to embrace both their gender identity and sexuality with the understanding that one does not necessarily mirror the other?

In this episode... Savannah and Julie discuss what happens in the situation where after you have revealed yourself to your partner (significant other) and she finally says she's ready to see you transformed into your feminine state, you balk and are hesitate to share your female presentation with her. Why hold back? What are you afraid of? Savannah and Julie get to the bottom of it all!
In this week's episode, Julie asks a question based on her daughter's perception of how old people look to her and a recent brush with her own recent birthday "trauma". What happens when crossdressing men finally start their feminine journey of self expression? What happens when these feminine goddesses try to race the clock in experiencing all ages of girlhood and womanhood, even if starting at a later age? Crossdressing men face an experience where their time in their feminine presentation is limited in scope, experience, and physical breath of time. More so, how do dual-gender folx find time to find their inherent style without the time to practice and explore and experience their femme life? Savannah and Julie tackle finding one's personal fashion sense and style, the psychology of how wisdom of one's self comes from age, and how nostalgia takes away the importance of our experiences past and worry clouds our beauty and success in the future.
In this episode, Savanah brings a text conversation to the table from the wife of a crossdressing husband, highlighting her feelings of insecurity of her own beauty in direct comparison to her husband's makeup skill and the pretty presentations of other crossdressers she has come across on social media. From harsh criticism as a child from parents, to the social pressures to live up to the always-shifting benchmarks of beauty, to finding the fleeting comfort in one's own skin, Julie and Savannah tackle the topic by reinforcing positive external validation, shattering our slavery to what is considered beauty, and asking the listeners to focus on their own internal voice that needs room and breath to shout out, "Hey, I AM beautiful!".

In this episode... Julie laughs at how corny Savannah is! Then, our co-hosts talk about being their own advocates when it comes to understanding themselves in a way not thought possible and speaking up for their needs.
Julie brings the difficult discussion topic in this episode about the how masculinity plays a part in the friction between non-transitioning and transitioning transgender folx. While dual gender individuals have the privilege of slipping between their masculinity and femininity, transitioning women find that their worlds have drastically changed as they find themselves without the male privilege they had grown up with. How can crossdressers and transitioned women find both their diversity and their commonalities that will unite them together with understanding? And, Julie puts Savannah on the spot with a "top three" question related to the topic!
In this episode, Julie asks Savannah about what it means to have active admirers on social media. From male admirers looking for intimacy to other crossdressing men searching for validation for themselves and happy to provide it to others, how does one navigate the adoration and, sometimes, the content that crosses from the side of innocent flirtation to the other side of unwanted attention?
In this episode, Savannah reads a text from Skye--a reader of her first book, "Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal"--where she exclaims she just realized that she couldn't have had sexualized experiences with her crossdressing at the age of five or six. Julie and Savannah delve deep into the mythos of why both lifelong crossdressers and the general public automatically assume crossdressing is intrinsically linked to sexual gratification.
In this episode, Savannah and Julie unpack what it means to be forced feminized, as it applies to male-to-female crossdressers and trans-women. Julie regales Savannah with her experiences with interpersonal interactions, and Savannah responds with her own perspective and experiences. Can a man really be forced into feminization? Or, is that just fictional fantasy erotica stories? And, what does it actually mean to be "forced"? The psychology is fascinating, to be sure.
In this episode, Savannah and Julie discuss the shame that causes many male-to-female crossdressers to continually hide who they are in terms of their developing dual gender identity and need for periodic feminine expression. Why is it so many build bunkers around their hearts and minds purely set on protecting this ultimate secret of the authentic self? Fox and the Phoenix take a stab at dissecting the reasons why and how to slowly break down their self-imposed (and socially-indoctrinated) walls.
YOU'RE LISTENING TO BLUE SKY.
In this episode, Savannah and Julie say goodbye to 2020 with a series of terrible 2020 countdowns, some drunk-not-drunk sing-songs, and a conversation of the ills and gains of COVID in 2020.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
YOU'RE LISTENING TO BLUE SKY
In this episode... Savannah and Julie discuss selling off companies and franchising, the creation of a new joint restaurant chain venture between a famous coffee chain and America's Roast Beef, Yes Sir, clinging to creature comforts in the wake fo the pandemic, dress shopping adventures, and Julie's inappropriate behavior and how she's matured now that she's all grown up!
Bear witness to Savannah's panicky caffeine-ageddon. A listener message leaves our cohosts wondering how best to help crossdressers know how and where to go out in public safely. Julie and Savannah provides a few guidelines about how to figure that out. Then, more conversation about recognizing our self-imposed misconceptions and perceptions about what we think others think about us. The hunt is on for locating safe havens, donning appropriate outfits to serve as our empowering armor, and finding champions to our cause and defense.
Julie reads a letter from a listener. What are we to do when we want to be described as beautiful and cute and pretty... even if presenting in a way that is more slanted to being described as handsome, rugged or debonair. We use adjectives to describe people, usually using terms that are stereotypically reserved for use to one or the other gender. How do we overcome words that are stereotypical? How can we look in the mirror and see those adjectives for ourselves?
What begins as a question about the appropriateness (or editing out) of Savannah trying to do a Jewish accent on air for a previous episode becomes a deeper conversation about Julie's understanding and struggle to hold onto her history and culture in modern America, the debate and circumstance of when to stand out versus blend in when it comes to your unique individual fashion style... and, what is Fetlife?
Julie poses the hard question to her co-host, "How did you come up with the name Savannah?". From the legendary convention of taking your first pet's name and the street you grew up on, to a deep-dive discussion of the power a name brings or can have attributed to it, Julie and Savannah take the listener down the rabbit hole of what a name means to each of us, and how it can empower or diminish with just the tone of a person's utterance of it.

Julie shares her hesitation and reluctance to meeting Savannah in male-mode for the first time, and how she managed to overcome this strange role-reversal of accepting her co-host's gender duality and actual biology.
It's that time of year again. The spooky and hallowed eve when women shed their layers for something with "sexy" in the title and when crossdressers used the cover of darkness--and the throngs of costumes neighbors, families, friends, and co-workers--to secretly express their need to publicly dress enfemme.

Uh oh... Savannah climbs up on her soapbox to preach (sister!) about how she is very binary in her gender expressions, while trying to hammer home the point that how people decide to dress goes so far beyond just a strictly--and socially expected--male or female presentation. While Savannah may be "all or nothing", there are so many out there with very fluid identities and ways to demonstrate it.
Let's listen in!
Savannah and Julie finish their chocolate milk and PB&J to ramble on about topics not even meant for the podcast! A simple question about "what are you wearing" turns into a conversation about wrap dresses, the wind beneath a skirt, and how crossdressing men tend to take over lots of storage space. Then, the conversation turns to the benefits and risks of underdressing, being aware of revealing too much about your feminine life in your masculine existence, reveals to co-workers that lead to... no follow-up questions about your feminine persona... at all (awkward!), and how ignorance isn't a bad word and how it is easily overcome when you take a keener interest in what makes us all human.
