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

I Kissed a Girl, Owning “Lesbian” & Toxic Labels: Georgia Robert
In this episode, we sit down with Georgia Robert, a standout from I Kissed a Girl Season 1 and semi-pro footballer for a raw, funny and unexpectedly emotional conversation about identity, labels, sport and self-acceptance.🌈 We get into why the word lesbian felt impossible to say, how school culture shaped shame, and why doing the show flipped everything. Georgia also opens up about how women’s football still carries its own hierarchies, why femininity and masculinity are policed even inside queer spaces, and how representation on-screen changed how she saw herself.📱 Follow usTikTok & Instagram: @AMAABFPodcast: Avoiding My Anxiously Attached Boyfriend

Conversion Therapy, Dating & Iron Fists: Eman Akwafo
