Joseph Stockhausen hosts this podcast about navigating the ups and downs of gender transition, with the help of experts, others with lived experience and his Mum.
We have answered the questions we wish we had known to ask, now we are answering yours.
What is day-to-day life like when you're Trans? In this episode, we address one of the biggest fears of parents and whanau - what will the future hold for my transgender loved one?
No matter the age, no matter the space, it is never too late to be the person you are inside. Joe meets a couple of people with very different journeys about what it's like to come out trans later in life.
While gender is finally no longer seen as a binary choice in western societies, Pacific cultures have understood this for hundreds of years. Joe finds out what it means to be takatÄpui and fakafifine.
So far we have learned the kids are going to be alright. But what about the parents? The podcast is called Let's Be TRANSparent after all.
One of the very first places you are going with your child on their transition is the Doctor's office. Joe talks to a couple of experts about what to expect.
Coming out is just the beginning. Now it's time to look at some of the practicalities and some of the first, early stages of transitioning. Joe speaks with Ary Jansen from Rainbow Youth and youth worker Cooper Sides.
Buckle up for Ep #1. Joe talks to the iconic Mary Haddock-Staniland about what to do when someone you love comes out as trans and Joe and Pauline revisit the rocky ride that was his own coming out.
