From She to He: A Trans Man's Journey with Arjhay Puod | S2 Ep5

Late Nights by Luna Manila

What are the mental, social, and physical challenges of the transition? Is your body capable of transition? How can you help your friends and family transition with you? Why are pronouns important?

When it comes to the subject of gender identity and expression, one hour is never going to be enough—let alone SOGIE and the whole LGBTQ+. But we are honored to have Arjhay Puod for a couple of minutes as our guest for our first release for 2021. In this episode, you'll either learn or be inspired, or could be both on what Arjhay has to share about his medical transition journey.

Arjhay is a member of PFTM (Pioneer Filipino Transgender Men Movement), a community that advocates for Sexual Orientation, Gender Identity, Gender Expression, and Sex Characteristics.
In this episode, we go through his transition journey and the role of his family during his transition. We also talked about the significance of pronouns and his experiences in growing up in a conservative culture.
And to answer some of our curiosity, we also touched on some information about medical procedures, their possible side-effects, their costs, and the importance of doctor consultation before going through any medical transition.
Check out the summary of this episode.
