For people who are transitioning there are many important "firsts." First time presenting as their chosen gender, first day on HRT, first voice lesson, first time meeting family as the real you. And of course, the first time at the beach. With limited clothing being the norm, the beach can be an especially stressful situation for transgender people. It can also be a lot of fun.
In this episode, your hosts Kath and Faith discuss their recent trip to the Rockaways, and transgender girl Faith's first time as a woman at the beach.
If you'd like to read more, check out Faith's blog post about our beach adventure.
To get your own mermaid tail (even though you'd totally be ripping off Kath's style) check out 2Tails.
And if you ever find yourself in the Rockaways, be sure and stop by Connolly's Bar for a delicious ice cold beer or frozen drink.

Is this episode we answer the question of why the media and popular culture (and even some LGBTQ people) seem to not notice transgender men. Where are all the FtMs?

Trigger warning! All the trigger warnings! In this episode the Gender Rebels tackle offensive terms and labels used for transgender, queer or non-binary people. Some may be used by those people themselves, some are derogatory or dismissive and some are just made up. We rate them all on a scale of 1 to 10 where 1 equals cuddly and wonderful but 10 equals absolute horror and evil.
