The Fox and the Phoenix

In this episode, Savannah regales Julie with a true story of several significant others of gender expansive husbands who just want to be more involved and be able to share more in the experiences they enjoyed together.But, how does a spouse both share conversation and pictures from a all-femme outing when they still want to protect hemselves and their partner through their already-existing CIS social media? Best idea ... the significant ones can create their own social media alter ego to let loose with their partner, enjoyed shared friends and experiences, and experiment outside the "norm".-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

In this episode, Julie is ravenous to talk to Savannah about the term and meaning of being a trans egg. Also called being a “baby trans”, cracking open your egg is akin to finally recognizing and accepting your gender expansiveness in whatever way you were meant to show up in the world. The term can be both positive and negative, most notably when others start telling you that you are going to crack soon and what that means for you (without knowing your full story). The shell we crack from can be an enamel of protection, denial, safety, and suppression. But, it’s only when we crack the egg open can we begin to see ourselves in our own unique and true light.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

In this second of new episode, Savannah doesn't have Julie to kick around this week, so she enlists her Atlanta "hostesses with the mostess" to come on air. Jolene is a fairly recent addition to the queer, gender-expansive community. She and her wife, Nicole, have been married for years, with grown kids, and a now empty-nesting home.

In this episode, Savannah regales Julie with a treacherous tale of intrigue and existential crisis that all stemmed from the want to help an up-and-coming fellow podcaster. When Savannah reads a post from a local Facebook community group in her hometown concerning another local resident looking to start an LGBT+ podcast, Savannah struggles with whether to reply privately or publicly, then struggles with how to reply to a trolling comment to her comment. What to do? What to do?

In this episode, Julie discusses with Savannah the topic of the importance of biological CIS-female friends for gender-expansive people. The conversation starts with insecurities from trolling negative comments playing a key part in taking down a social media post about the topic, followed by a multi-faceted conversation in-air about the sense of safety and belonging that biological female friends provide that sometimes cannot be matched in friend groups anywhere else!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

In this episode, Savannah shares with Julie the fact that her friends, when in town for the weekend, asked if all the male-to-female crossdressers in the room could be considered LARPers. Live Action Role Players embody fantasy and sci/fi characters of their own creation, coming together as a community to "live" out their fantasy realm in real life ... whether that be as a convention center, a city park, or at someone's residence. There are many contrasts and comparisons to the lives of cosplayers, crossplayers, LARPers, and gender expansion. At the end of the day, each allows the wearer of the identity to live more "out loud"!-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

In this episode, Savannah asks Julie whether its fair that marginalized groups should need to hold themselves to a higher standard of empathy and social expectations in the face of a society that prefers to attack and marginalize those groups? In a just world, no — it is not fair.Marginalized groups should not have to hold themselves to a higher standard of empathy or moral behavior than those who hold power or privilege. The expectation that oppressed people must be kinder, more understanding, or more patient than their oppressors is rooted in systemic inequality itself. It's an unfair double standard — one that demands emotional labor and restraint from those already burdened with discrimination, violence, and exclusion.But in practice, many marginalized individuals feel compelled to do exactly that — to hold themselves to a higher standard — as a means of survival, resistance, or advocacy.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

In this episode, Julie and Savannah discuss a topic that a couple listeners and fans have been asking about ... autogynephilia. Popularized as a theory by Ray Blanchard in the 1980s and 1990s, this paraphilia is based on the idea that heterosexual transexuals want to transition to the female gender because they are aroused by the notion of being female. While this paraphilia persists even today, the concept that a person's sexuality and arousal are causation for gender transition is flawed and too simplistic to be realistic.

In this episode, Savannah brings up the concept of defining people by a mental projection of a box with a label on it. Stemming from both a conversation with her therapist and from her TEDX Emory talk, "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression", the idea that people instantly create an opinion of others based on what they know about somebody based on descriptors or how they present themselves to the world is an idea that keeps people from exploring and discovering more about others more intimately and deeply to get to the heart of the individual in the crosshairs.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

In this episode, Savannah and Julie pull a meme from the interwebs that asks the question of whether crossing is a choice while being transgender is not a choice. Our hosts weigh in about the hardships both categories of folx endure and the efforts it takes to embody one's truest self beyond societal norms.

After the March excitement of the 2025 Keystone Conference in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, our cohosts delve deeper into a question that was brought up during Savannah's workshop, "Why might a cis-gender female partner think that their crossdressing counterpart is objectifying womanhood and femininity when they dress up as a female"?-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.
