This one’s not pretty. It’s not glamorous. But it’s real — and it’s necessary.

This week on Trans Crush, I sit down with Marc Svensson from You Are Loved, a non-profit organisation supporting trans women and other queer people dealing with addiction, overdose, suicidal thoughts, and mental health challenges.

We talk about:

– Why chemsex is so common in the queer and trans community

– The real roots of self-harm, self-hate, and low self-worth

– What’s fueling the pain — and what we can do to actually heal

– The power of prevention, care, and connection


If you’ve ever felt like you were barely hanging on, this one’s for you.

If you’ve lost someone, this one’s for them.
