Episode 19: Samira

Transitional Wisdom Podcast

This week Samira (they/them) joins us to discuss all things intersectionally trans*. They discuss the importance of finding safety and community as an Iranian person of trans* experience, and how to safely navigate new cities while searching for the queer scene. They break down their gender exploration, why they chose to begin testosterone as a non binary individual, how passing privilege has lead them to be even more critical of toxic masculinity and the ways in which men take up space, while also analyzing how exploring their gender also lead to them delving into non-monogamy and polyamory.
