I have trans friends who said what he said in that special was not okay. You know he's- I don't know if you've heard of the term turf- like he's wanting to align himself with the writer of The Harry Potter Series.
Ever wondered what it truly means to find yourself in a world that often doesn't understand you? In this episode of 'It's The Fix', Matt Tompkins sits down with Eli Rigatuso to explore the profound journey of embracing one's gender identity. Eli's story is not just about coming out as trans; it's also about navigating the complexities of being a Two-Spirit Indigenous person in today's society.
Through candid conversations, Eli shares the mental health hurdles he faced and the transformative power of self-acceptance. He talks about the unique challenges of undergoing hormone replacement therapy after his addiction to opioids and how it impacted his mental well-being. This episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like privilege, addiction, and the intersectionality of various identities. Matt also opens up about his own battles with addiction and how his societal privileges played a role in his recovery.
Together, they highlight the importance of understanding and supporting diverse gender identities and cultures. If you're looking for an honest, eye-opening discussion on gender identity, mental health, and the journey to self-acceptance, this episode is a must-listen.
