Episode 45 | Transition: A Beautiful Book of Poetry by Our Friend, Alicia Arballo
Imagine keeping who you really are hidden for 62 years, knowing deep inside that you are not the person that others see. Can you feel the pain of what it would be like to be unable to live as your true self because you could lose everything?
On today’s episode, we welcome back our dear friend, Alicia Arballo, who was kind enough to be our guest on episodes 18 and 19 two years ago. Having transitioned at 62 years old, Alicia has taught us and many others so much about what it was like to have the courage to finally let the world know that she’s a woman.
We’re thrilled to share with you that Alicia has published a moving, beautiful book of poetry called Transition. Her poignant poems about the heartbreaking realities of coming out as transgender and the euphoria of living authentically moved us deeply and we couldn’t wait to talk with Alicia about them.
We’re also incredibly grateful to Alicia for being willing to read us a few of her poems, which we know can be very emotional, and we invite you to share that emotional journey with us, as there is so much to learn from it.
Alicia is a natural storyteller who has been writing poetry since she was a little girl, yet it wasn't until her transition that she felt the urge to share the feelings, sensations, challenges, and joys of her journey with us all.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- About Alicia's passion for telling stories (5:10)
- "Christine." The importance of representation (12:50)
- "Checkout Counter." Daily, trivial moments for some, unforgettable for others (17:50)
- "Joyce." The anxiety and relief of showing up as we really are (29:20)
- "Dead name." The pain of rejection (34:00)

Can gender-affirming therapy change people's minds? Transgender kids and their parents often have very different expectations about what gender-affirming therapy will provide. For some parents, the hope is that when their child starts therapy, they’ll realize they aren’t really trans, but instead are gay, confused, or just in a phase. But studies have shown that among transgender kids, less tha...

    “We’ve had enough old white men who just don’t get it!” What exactly don’t ‘they’ get that someone of the opposite gender and of Indian decent does get? Donald trump is not going to take away trans rights. He will limit children from making irreversible choices with puberty blockers that cause permanent loss of sexual function and risk sterilization. He gets it so much more than someone who just wants anyone who feels lost/in need of mental health services first to be able to self-ID as trans and get pushed thru the system to make all that money off turning minors into permanent medical patients and if they change their mind no one wants to hear it, so byee. Someone who just rattles off buzzwords and phrases like Kamala Harris doesn’t get it. She was asked about inflation and she didn’t answer and instead went into a monologue about how everyone should be able to be who they wanna be and do what they want with their bodies. That’s who you guys want to lead the USA and struggling Americans into better times

    And I don’t think trumps at his limit of who’s already decided they’re gonna vote for him. You can be LGBT+ and also believe in conservative policies. Definitely do your OWN research. Don’t just be a follower bc the mainstream news talks sh*t and UA-cam recommends you liberal videos. Do your own digging before voting. I just think it’s a little funny that Kamala now agrees on needing a wall built at the border. Even she’s capable of seeing the reality of some situations. I was liberal until I was challenged on my beliefs by someone.. and the more I researched the more I was like, wait…

    As a woman, I refuse to vote for someone that doesn’t know what a woman is. To say that “a woman is anyone that identifies as a woman” reduces women to a costume that can be taken off and on at whim. That is NOT what a woman is. A woman exclusively started as a FEMALE fetus, what born a baby girl, and grew up to be a woman. Everyone else who lives as a woman is a MALE living as a woman. That includes intersex males and trans identifying males. They are no more a woman than a dog is a cat.

    • @jacoberling2840
      @jacoberling2840 Місяць тому

      @@beastlinger8399 I will give you a detailed reply if you really want to know. I voted for Hilary Clinton in 2016 because the media said all this crazy stuff about Trump, that he was going to crash the economy and start world war 3. Then I saw Hilary and the media scream on the top of their lungs that the election was stolen from them FOR YEARS. All the while none of the fear mongering came true, instead the economy was booming and there was a level of international peace that I had not seen in my lifetime (born in 1989). That is until covid happened. And what exactly happened during covid? Trump left it up to each governor to decide how to run their states. Isn’t this the opposite of what “a dictator” would do? What actually happened is that democrats went full blown authoritarian, forcing people to stay home, and tanking the economy in the process, while most republicans governors kept their states open for business. The data has been in for a long time, these states did not fare any worse covid-wise. Then we had an election where the democrats decided to overhaul our entire electoral system merely months before Election Day. They send out millions upon millions of mass mail in votes and have unattended drop boxes everywhere with no chain of custody, and now after years of “TRUMP CHEATED - RUSSIAGATE!!!”’ You all want to clutch your pearls if people have questions? I’m sorry, but I have still yet to see any transparent accounting of what happened that election and explanations for the anomalies. Things still don’t add up, like the supposed most popular president in history based on last elections vote count, needing to drop out of his reelection because he cannot win. I’m not saying it was definitely stolen, but I will not apologize for having questions. Especially when the people who have been proven as liars over and over again are the ones who started telling me it was “the safest and fairest election in history” after less than a week had gone by. And now look, ever since it’s been a non stop shit show compared to Trump’s term. We have crazy inflation, mass illegal migration, high crime rates, Afghanistan mess, Russia v Ukraine, Palestine & Iran v Israel, and much more. The average home has gone from $290k to $450k, and that doesn’t factor in the higher interest rates. We’ve been lied to over and over that Biden is fine when he is clearly not, and his second in command seems just as incompetent as he is, and that seems pretty obvious based on all the evidence right in front of our faces. Everything they warned us would happen under Trump in 2016 has happened with Biden and Harris since 2020. This is all extremely evident to everyone paying attention who has not been so propagandized and indoctrinated that they believe Trump is the next Hitler despite him already being in office for four years and not doing anything that comes remotely close to justify those comparisons. Me and many others who are paying attention are voting Trump 2024, and there’s literally nothing you could say to change our minds.
