    018 Where's my husband?

    McCartney and Violet’s conversation centers on partners of gender-expansive spouses sometimes missing “their husband,” wanting predictability and to be the focus without managing an alter ego’s feelings. They emphasize examining what “wanting the old husband back” means, communicating boundaries respectfully, and recognizing they can’t control how their partner receives those feelings You can contact us: email - unlabeled.love.journey@gmail.comInstagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠UnlabeledLove⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook - Violet S.

    017 Balancing Work & Pleasure

    Violet and McCartney discuss an upcoming business cruise, during which McCartney’s spouse, Deanne, suggested presenting as Deanne throughout the trip, including on formal night. McCartney explains she is not ready to introduce Deanne to business colleagues and worries about the added stress of being on high alert, especially sailing from a local port where acquaintances might be present. Violet affirms that saying “not this time” is a valid boundary, not rejection, and suggests communicating clearly and gauging colleagues’ attitudes toward LGBTQIA+ topics. They emphasize open communication, balancing personal and professional life, and reassuring a partner that a pause is not a permanent refusal.

    016 - Exploring the Unseen

    McCartney and Violet discuss the internal struggle partners face when a spouse is a cross-dresser or gender expansive, prompted by a quote from Savannah Hauk’s book about mastering internal balance for peace of mind, body, and spirit. They describe challenges like redefining roles in a dual-gender relationship, balancing support with personal comfort, and communicating needs without guilt, especially around intimacy, attraction, and public presentation. They emphasize setting boundaries, moving at a manageable pace, acknowledging grief and anxiety, and avoiding shutdowns that can create hiding and resentment. They encourage honesty, curiosity, and seeking counseling, while reminding listeners that every situation is different and that the goal is personal peace alongside respectful negotiation.

    015 Evolution of "I'm ok with it"

    Violet and McCartney discuss what it really means when a spouse says they are “okay” with a cross-dressing or gender-expansive partner. Violet shares how her own “I’m okay” evolved and describes how a communication breakdown led to feelings of betrayal. They encourage baby steps, honesty without passive aggression, considering therapy, and recognizing that while couples should try to work through it together, it’s also valid to leave if it remains incompatible.

    013 Culture and Traditions Part 2

    Violet and McCartney continue a discussion on how culture and traditions shape reactions to gender expression for partners of gender-expansive people. They describe historical and cultural examples that challenge Western norms and distinguish gender identity from biological sex. The conversation highlights double standards that allow women to adopt masculine clothing more freely than men adopting feminine presentation. They encourage significant others to examine beliefs, keep open dialogue, and remember it is the same person regardless of presentation.

    012 Culture and Traditions Part 1

    Violet and McCartney begin a discussion on traditions and gender norms, prompted by a passage from Peggy Rude’s My Husband Wears My Clothes about rigid conditioning around what men and women “should” do. Violet reflects on initial fear and hesitation when Katrina wanted to go out in public, realizing the reaction centered on social expectations and personal embarrassment rather than Katrina’s needs. They compare historical and cultural examples of shifting gendered clothing and labor roles, changing color norms like pink for men, and discuss stereotypes that still sharply separate “male” and “female” traits.

    011 Healthy Boundaries

    This episode focuses on setting boundaries in relationships where one partner is gender expansive, including why boundaries matter and how they relate to trust and comfort levels. They describe physical, emotional, time, and material boundaries. They stress that boundaries should be specific, communicated calmly with “I” statements, and can evolve over time as acceptance grows. They also discuss healthy versus unhealthy partner responses, warn against guilt, manipulation, lying, or ignoring boundaries, and recommend individual or couples therapy with clinicians familiar with gender and relationship issues. They close by reminding listeners to prioritize empathy without losing one’s own identity. You can contact us: email - unlabeled.love.journey@gmail.comInstagram - ⁠UnlabeledLove⁠ Facebook - Violet S.
