In this episode of TRANS CRUSH, we sit down with Caroline Litman, a mother of a transgender daughter, author of Her Name Is Alice, and an advocate for trans rights. Caroline shares her deeply personal experience of raising three children and navigating the journey of understanding and supporting her youngest daughter, Alice, when she came out as transgender. She opens up about the early signs of anxiety, the difficulties Alice experienced during puberty, her coming out at 17, and the challenges of accessing gender-affirming healthcare through the NHS. We discuss the impact of transphobia in the media, the importance of parental acceptance, bullying, gender dysphoria, puberty blockers and the devastating consequences of making young trans people wait years for the healthcare they need. As a mother and former NHS psychiatrist, Caroline also reflects on her own misconceptions, the things she wishes she had understood earlier, and how her perspective on transgender people has changed. This is an important conversation about motherhood, understanding, unconditional love, healthcare and the importance of creating a world where every trans child feels safe enough to be themselves. 💜SUPPORT TRANS CRUSH ON PATREON Get even more of the conversations you like while supporting us and helping TRANS CRUSH grow.

Bella: How Trans Women Are Treated In Australia?

Aug 17, 2026 39 min

Watch the exclusive part here: https://www.patreon.com/transcrush/ Bella is back on Trans Crush! We first met Bella in Season 1, and a lot has changed since then. She has moved from London to Perth, Australia, and in this episode she talks honestly about how different her life feels now. She describes what it is like to wake up and not think about being trans every single day, the sense of normality she has found in Perth, and why Australia feels so different from the UK when it comes to how people react to trans people. We also talk about some of the harder parts of transition. Gender dysphoria, the pressure to pass, being a 6'1" trans woman, body image, and the ridiculous beauty standards we put on ourselves. Bella also shares her experience with trans healthcare in Australia compared with the UK, including the huge difference in waiting times and how much knowledge doctors have about gender affirming care. And we get into something I think a lot of people will relate to: how social media can completely distort the way we see ourselves. Bella talks about why she stepped back from trans activism and started focusing more on simply living her life. There are some really honest moments in this conversation, especially when we talk about dysphoria, confidence and learning to look at yourself with a little more kindness. And if you're a parent of a trans teenager, stay until the end. Bella has some really thoughtful advice about social media, comparison and helping young people who are struggling with their bodies.

What Happens When You Are Trans and Intersex? Samsara Answered!

Jul 31, 2025 1 hr 8 min

She’s not just trans. Not just intersex. Samsara is both — and she’s rewriting everything you thought you knew. Raised in Hong Kong and sent to an all-boys school, Samsara’s story doesn’t start with acceptance — it starts with survival. Now, as a rising artist, she’s stepping into a version of herself the world isn’t ready for. What does it mean to exist outside the binary — in your body, in your relationships, in your everyday life? How does that shape the way people see you? How does it shape the way you see yourself? What happens when you no longer fit the categories you were forced into? What do you lose when you try to belong — and what do you gain when you stop trying? We talked identity, duality, desire, shame, and strength. We talked about beauty. And power. And what it means to live in contradiction without asking for permission. It’s real, it’s rare, and you’ve probably never seen anything like that before. So much realness it will make you blush every Thursday on Trans Crush. https://www.patreon.com/posts/turn-ons-turn-of-135390374 On this Patreon-only episode, Samsara opens up about her dating goals, heartbreaks, and what it’s really like to date as someone who’s both trans and intersex.
