All That Chat with Mel Campbell

Being in a relationship can be hard but from my experience, as a transwoman, it's a lot harder so I thought I'd talk about it. Hope you enjoy the latest episode of All That Chat. x --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthatchatwithmel/message

The transition for transwomen these days varies, all depends on how you are mentally, physically and emotionally. The doctors have to do extensive therapy to ensure that it's who you are and it's what you want. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch. The transition can be a scary experience especially if you don't have the support and are going through it alone. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/allthatchatwithmel/message

Been asked a few times why straight men date transwomen, what's the appeal and I don't know lol, you need to ask the guy and this is what this episode is about. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theofficialmelindag/message

This was a different kind of video for me to make but felt like I had to talk about it as it is an important issue. People either get angry or annoyed when I blast my looks or my body image but I don't see what everyone else sees. Body dysmorphia and gender dysphoria, it's damaging to a person's mental health and the journey to accepting oneself is long and hard. Every day is a struggle and I'm getting there slowly but again, currently trapped in a war with my own mind. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theofficialmelindag/message

This was an important thing to talk about, well for me anyway, I kept trying to talk about it but couldn't put my words together. As a transwoman I'm expected to project a false image of what and who I am and I'm done, we're told we need to live as our chosen gender which is fine but then we need to wear dresses and heels and makeup and have long hair, fake boobs and we end up looking like clowns and it puts our lives in bigger danger. All it takes is one psycho path to kill us, that's it. I'm done being fake and projecting false bullshit to people, people need to know the truth about what it's like to be trans and how it should be approached. NOT EVERY WOMAN WEARS MAKEUP OR HEELS OR DRESSES so why should we. I can present as femme and be a tomboy or just wear jeans and a hoodie. People need to know this. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theofficialmelindag/message

A topic I've wanted to discuss for a while on the podcast is how sometimes, most of us are kept secret in relationships and I talk about my own personal experience with being a secret, whether it's in a discreet relationship or even just a hookup on a dating app. Let me hear your stories about this if you've ever been in this situation. The video format is now on Spotify, youtube, Facebook and IGTV. Links Below, leave your stories in the comments.

It's great to be back and can't wait to discuss lots this season. All that Chat is now available on even more platforms from Spotify to Podvine, amazon and more so anywhere you can find a podcast look for the show and hope you like it. To kickstart season 2 I wanted to talk about inclusion, mainly around dating sites and how inclusion doesn't mean safe. Most dating sites are now LGBTQIA+ inclusive but not entirely. And apologies about my teeth, currently saving to get them fixed. (just a note for the trolls) :) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theofficialmelindag/message

What do you guys think about this, now like I said, it's ane= easy fix, all the govt has to do is dish out some dough and give trans men and women our own sporting events, safe spaces and bathrooms, it's not hard and they have the money. It's not just about women and men feeling safe, it's about us also feeling safe. Also if transwomen aren't allowed to compete in sports then transmen shouldn't be allowed to compete in sports either. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theofficialmelindag/message

Thank you for listening, hope you enjoyed the episode, these were filmed in video form for Tiktok and brought them to the channel as it is an important topic to discuss. In a show of cruelty it was announced that The conversion ban would only apply to the gay community and not those, like myself in the transgender and binary community. Boris then faced massive backlash but is it too late and what more can be done to apply this to everyone. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theofficialmelindag/message

Yea at this point in my life, it would be easier to just not pursue anything at this point and just take time for myself and give and allow myself the chance to heal because it's not going anywhere. The pointer isn't moving forward anymore. Hope you guys enjoyed the episode, more coming soon. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theofficialmelindag/message

CONTAINS EXPLICIT LANGUAGE, I do apologise. It sucks that this is a transwomans reality and I hope no biological women have to go through the same. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/theofficialmelindag/message
