Description
Welcome to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.
This week we sit down with writer, actor, comedian and creator Ash Perez, best known for their hit Buzzfeed videos, 2nd Try and their new series New Guy Tries. Together, we dive into the transgender experience from a trans-masculine perspective in a raw, funny, and deeply honest Q&A.
Ash opens up about the inspiration behind New Guy Tries, a show that follows them navigating everyday “firsts” after transitioning. Everything from gym culture to dating, while breaking down myths and stereotypes about being trans.
Here’s what we cover in this episode:
- What it really feels like to step into the world as a “new guy”
- Hear all about the New Guy Tries series
- The awkward, funny, and sometimes emotional “first-time” moments in transition
- Feminism and feeling loss when transitioning
- Grief and transitioning
- Transitioning in the public eye
This is a heartfelt, affirming, and eye-opening conversation between two trans guys swapping stories, comparing notes, and celebrating the joy and messiness of transition. Whether you’re trans, questioning, or simply want to better understand the trans-masculine experience, this episode is packed with insights, laughs, and moments of recognition.
