Raising Kids as an Out Crossdresser
Georgia Ritchie is back — and this time, 48 hours before her wife gives birth to their third child, she sits down with Emily to talk about what it actually takes to be seen publicly as a crossdresser without losing yourself in the process.Georgia has been online for 16 years. She started at 21, hiding, convinced she was "a freak" and the only one. What followed was a long, honest journey through everything the internet does to a person who just wants to be witnessed: the first taste of validation, the chase for a "higher high," the gamification of self-worth, and the people who show up wanting to take advantage of how badly you want to belong.This is one of the most useful conversations we've had for anyone stepping into public crossdressing — whether that's a first photo, a first Instagram, or a first modeling shoot.In this episode:▸ Raising kids as a crossdressing dad — "you're allowed to be who you want to be"▸ Why Georgia thought she was the only one (and what changed)▸ The validation spiral and the gamification of self-worth▸ "Creepiness is just unknown desire" — spotting who's really safe online▸ How the shame of hiding stole years of her artistry▸ Taking ownership: why claiming this part of you lets it finally grow▸ Finding your muses, your genre, and your look▸ Wigs, lace fronts, and makeup — practical tips from years of practice▸ How Georgia got taken advantage of as a model — and how to spot a fair energy exchangeGeorgia is proof that this can be integrated into a whole, joyful life — as a husband, a father, an artist, and a crossdresser.
