187 - Almost Famous

The Fox and the Phoenix

In this episode, Savannah finds herself gushing to Julie about meeting somebody famous. That famous somebody had reached out to Savannah because they feel Savannah is also 'famous' in the community and is the right individual to confide in and get advice about their gender authenticity. How does a person embrace their gender authenticity when they have curated a higher persona that may bring them under more magnified scrutiny and possible judgement?

SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

Her latest achievements are two TEDx Talks, one entitled "Demystifying the Crossdressing Experience" and the other "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression". Savannah is a male-to-female dual-gender crossdresser who is visible in the Upstate of South Carolina, active in local groups and advocating as a public speaker at LGBTQ+ conferences and workshops across the United States. At the moment, Savannah is working on more books, blogs, and projects focused on letting every crossdresser–young and mature–find their own confidence, expression, identity and voice.
