In this episode, we sit down with married couple Alexis & Liam, whose relationship has existed across identities, labels and multiple “coming outs.”Alexis shares her true timeline: first identifying as straight, then gay, then trans, then returning to gay, then finally stepping into womanhood again, this time for herself, not to make the world more comfortable. Liam opens up about how his own sexuality sits outside the binaries people want to force him into, and why he still identifies as a gay man, even though the world reads them as a straight couple.Together, they discuss: why femininity was always the thread Liam was drawn to, how social media obsessively interrogates trans bodies, the concept of “dead names”, discovering personal style during transition, and what it means to let the world see you become yourself.This is a raw, real, unfiltered conversation about identity, labels, sexuality, grief, love and the reality of building a life together while transitioning.📱 Follow us on socialTikTok: @AMAABFInstagram: @AMAABF
