    269 - Fairy Tales & Cautionary Tales

    In this episode, Savannah talks to Julie about a comment on the "Hey Judy, The Exit Interview" podcast episode, where one listener was concerned about sharing the podcast with their wife because of Savannah and Judy's breakup after 262 episodes. What happens when you follow the public adventures of someone whose life resonates with you? What happens when that life you were following zigs when you were expecting it to zag? How does that affect the trajectory of your own journey? Savannah and Julie talk candidly about where Savannah is currently on her life's path and weigh the benefits and dangers of hitching your own wagon to another. In the end, it is impossible to know where your own journey will take you, and that Savannah's story is neither a fairy tale to blindly aspire to nor a cautionary tale to avoid. Forge your own path with the most insight you can find!

    268 - Happy Medium

    In this episode, Julie talks to Savannah about how every person deserves to be 100% authentic in who they are and how to navigate a relationship where that authenticity is challenged by a partner. Whether the cis-partner is coming to terms with understanding the identity and presentation of their gender-expansive mate or setting up ground rules to limit them so a level of comfortability is achieved for the short-term, the ratification of a proper and fair compromise between partners is not always achievable. When is a compromise beneficial for the partnership and when is it simply one partner forced to give up their agency and autonomy for the comfort of the other? ----- SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

    267 - Smarty Pants

    In this episode, Savannah asks Julie the question, "Why do women get to wear pants and men don't get to wear skirts?" In Western Culture, the idea of men wearing feminine clothes is considered outlandish and fetishistic, while women wearing pants or more masculine articles of clothing is normalized and not seen as out of place. From the necessary changing fashion styles as humans found themselves in the Industrial Revolution to women fighting for their own rights for fashion equality, the modern era is still wrought with inconsistencies and inequalities. ----- SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.
