Being a Champion for Mental and Emotional Health with Micah Roldan Part 1

We’ve talked a lot about medically transitioning on this podcast. We’ve talked about what our parents thought and how our children felt, but very rarely have we talked about how our spouses or significant others made the transition with us. In this episode of Dem Bois Podcast, that is a huge part of the conversation. We also discuss Micah’s adopted children choosing him as a parent, going against what society and religion say we should do, seeing your perception of yourself, and more!

We talk:
Becoming a parent - 4:23
How the name Micah chose him - 14:27
Taking his wife’s last name - 23:05
Not having the language to identify yourself - 36:59
Having the transition conversation with his wife - 43:28
