Happy Monday #tot fam!! In today's episode I welcome Kyah back onto the podcast to chat candidly about her experience with Endometriosis. For those of you who don't know, endometriosis is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus (the endometrium) grows outside your uterus.

We talk about how/when she started noticing symptoms, what her symptoms were, multiple misdiagnoses from many GPs/professionals, fertility, the 'normality' surrounding painful periods and dismissal of pain, the pill as a treatment/bandaid for endometriosis + so much more.Thanks so much for listening!

Yep, 2021 has been a shit one so far buttt I'm crossing my fingers for the rest of the year. I just wanted to highlight how social media can be such a facade. You never really know everything going on in another persons life unless they tell you. I haven't had the energy or mental capacity to create content for a few weeks and I apologise for that even though I don't have to. I don't even owe anyone an explanation, but I decided to provide one because you deserve it. I am so thankful to have a followers like YOU. So thank you for being patient with me, thank you for understanding and not expecting content from me when I'm not doing so great. It means more than you would know, so thank you. GET KEEEEEN for more Topics of taboo!! Uploads will be going back to normal after this one (woo!!).

Happy Monday #tot fam! I have a very special guest joining me on the podcast for our FIRST official episode. This woman is an absolute icon & her story is awe inspiring! She is a model, a YouTuber, a TikTok star, an IG queen, an inspiration & role model to many and she also happens to be one of my dearest friends, AJ Clementine.In this episode, AJ bares all. We discuss how she knew she was transgender, her coming out journey, gender reassignment surgery, the importance of pronouns & so much more. My apologies in advance for 2 or 3 sections of the ep where audio is a bit hairy (sound spikes/echo-ing) I tried fixing these as much as I could! All part of starting something new! Rest assured the audio is smoothed out in future episodes :)Thanks so much for listening! If you'd like more from AJ, follow her on Instagram @ajclementine_.Be sure to follow us on IG @topicsoftaboo if you would like to get involved (or even featured) in future episodes!0:00-2:54 Intro2:54- 6:56 the realisation/early years6:56-10:51 gender "norms "& society10:51-15:14 gender dysphoria15:14-20:32 what does it feel like to be transgender20:32-23:00 bottom surgery23:00- 24:49 are non-binary people trans?24:49-26:21 they/them pronouns26:21-28:06 perceptions of others28:06-29:44 how did your family react29:44-32:52 hurtful questions32:52-34:00 advice for your younger self34:00- LGBTQ message36:00-36:56 Outro
