    273 - The Soul Kink of Crossdressing

    In this episode, Julie talks to Savannah about the small percentage of male-to-female crossdressers who dress strictly for the purpose of kink. From private bedroom play to fantasy role play, from forced-feminization to sissification, from dominance to BDSM, some men who enjoy dressing in a feminine way don't need a feminine presentation or a public-facing identity ... they enjoy the thrills of feminine dressing for the physical, emotional, and/or psychological release of it all. ----- SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

    269 - Fairy Tales & Cautionary Tales

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.

    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“.
