Episode notes

'A partner once called me a brain ninja. I enter people’s mind palaces, roam around and open doors, even suggest rearrangements. I see so clearly how people hurt themselves, and I used to be more abrasive and piercing in my feedback. I’ve now learned to be more careful and balanced about it.

'I spent 21 years trying to be the best boy I could be, so nobody could ever find out that actually I’m not a boy at all, and it was exhausting. There were rooms that were hidden. The things I knew about myself about being trans, nobody ever got in there. My transitioning has been this astoundingly freeing experience. Every step I take towards who I feel like I am, I cannot imagine going back. Now that trans room is mine, I claim it, I live there, it’s my favourite room in my house.'
