    Trans Changing Room Conversation

    Trans Changing Room Conversation

    Have you ever considered how ridiculously selfish and insecure you are? Like do you really think your body is so much better? or that any Trans person embarks on this journey so they can share a changing room with you and perve over your body?  It brings up deep questions of how you relate to men? How do you relate to gay women?   It's such a place of insecurity and unfortunately, success doesn't come with security.

Purple Psychology made easy

Dr. Naoisé O'Reilly, using a wealth of knowledge and experience, explains the complexities and intricacies of the human condition in a way that is easy to digest and comprehend. Congratulations to her and Marie O'Riordan on creating a fantastic podcast. Everyone, regardless of age or profession, should listen to and absorb their message.
