EP22 Resilience. Do We Love It or Hate It?

We've been hearing a lot about resilience lately. Some say it's important while others say no thanks-they'd rather not have to be so resilient. Rowan and Devin get into how they feel about it. They talk about challenges, getting stronger, and how recovery is essential to it.

Devin discusses the courage and persistence of the trans community and "the pain of resistance versus the gain of resilience."

They both talk about the holidays, chosen family, asking ourselves what we really want and cookies!

Rowan and Devin wish you a happy holiday and Devin says to remember, "There's a lot about you that's worth celebrating."

Also, Rowan wants to add that she mentions a book called "Choose Strong" but she has changed the title to "Nice Shmice." She will share more details next episode.

EP21 We're Not Marginalized, We're Maximized!

These are challenging times. In the wake of the Nov. 5, 2024 US election results, Rowan and Devin talk about responding to something that unexpectedly slams us to the mat. What do we do now? They say "we are strong, resilient and we know how to love." Devin shares about the amount of determination it takes to live as a trans person. And Rowan discusses, from a black belt perspective, finding our strength and responding strategically from there.

Hear what Rowan means when she says "It's a decision. I said ENOUGH." 

And what Devin means by "I'm not marginalized, actually I'm maximized."

EP19 Did I Lose the Woman I Fell in Love With?

Rowan and Devin got together 5 years ago, then 2 years into their relationship Devin transitioned, female to male. Did Rowan lose the woman she fell in love with? Did she have to grieve the loss of that woman?

She fell in love with a woman but now he's a dude. Devin changed his pronouns from she/her to he/him. These are facts, but did Rowan lose anyone? Or anything? How did she deal with that and what does it mean to her?

EP18 Are We Gay Enough?

Rowan says she's a queer woman in love with a transman and that doesn't fit labels. What does one do about that?

She talks about putting love before labels and how we need to, as a greater LGBTQIA+ community, stop making each other feel like we're not enough! Not gay enough, not lesbian enough, not whatever enough. She mentions Bisexual Awareness Week and how labels both help us and hurt us.

This episode is marked as explicit because there's one F-bomb. Other than that you're good if you want to listen with younger ears around.

EP14 Does Gender Really Matter in Love?

Rowan gets into love and gender and how we tend to consider a transition or someone being transgender as a big weird thing that breaks the rules - but she asks, is it really? She looks at the questions "how can she love a transman?" and "how can she dare to love again?" 

Are we asking the right questions? Rowan believes there's a deeper question for all of us.

And she shares exciting news about a story that Pink News released and you can find it right here:

EP11 Is a Trans Man a Man and Are We Still Lesbians?

Rowan and Devin answer some frequent questions. Are they still lesbians? If Devin transitioned FTM does that mean they're in a straight relationship now? Why didn't Rowan just date men? Rowan challenges labels - love before labels baby! And she pushes the definition of what it means to say "a trans man is a man." Devin declares he was born fully loaded, and appointed, this way.

And a super cute term for a trans grandpa :)

EP9 What if you could have the best sex of your life?

Rowan asks - Will you be sexually attracted to your partner after they transition? Can your intimacy survive?

Labels, gender, identity, so many changes. How do we find our way? How do we connect and create honest intimacy and the relationship we long for? What if we could have the best sex of our life? Is that possible?

"When you're with someone who is fully present in themselves, who's aligned and stoked about their body, their gender, their identity.. that's hella sexy!"

EP8 The Big Scary Thing

Rowan shares some of the fears and obstacles she faced when Devin came out to her. She talks about when she literally got kicked in the head and what it taught her that she used in her relationship. "Sometimes out of the blue, we get a life change that feels like a kick in the head." 

Unexpected life changes and asks - what if the big scary thing is really a good thing? What if it leads us to something better? Are we on board? What if there's an opportunity for a richer, more connected, more vibrant version of our life? 

Rowan also responds to a comment she and Devin received received and shares how the conversation around the trans experience tends to be about three things - bathrooms, what's in their pants, and pronouns - (insert eye roll here) she says we are minimizing the depth and beauty of a person's journey. It is about so much more.
