Show notes

Dating is something Schuyler is asked about frequently. For trans people, it can be tricky -- and dangerous -- to be open about one's identity. It can also be hard for well-meaning cisgender people to know what to do if their date happens to be transgender.

To dive into the dating discussion, Schuyler speaks with singer, songwriter, dancer, actress and "artivist" Mila Jam on to the podcast. During their discussion, Mila gets candid about her experience dating as a black trans woman and dispels the myth that cis people are not attracted to trans folks.
