Welcome back girliesss 💅
This week we’re joined by our pal Paige Behan and it’s one of the most honest, emotional and important conversations we’ve had on the podcast so far.
Paige opens up about growing up in Ballyfermot, being diagnosed as intersex, and her journey transitioning from male to female in Ireland. We talk about identity, friendship, dating while trans, and the reality of navigating relationships while dealing with fetishisation and misunderstanding from men.
We also get into the realities of trans healthcare in Ireland, including Paige’s experience travelling to Germany for surgery, undergoing two separate SRS procedures, and the emotional and physical impact that came with it all.
Paige shares the story of being refused medical care in St James’s Hospital after surgery and how she ultimately took a court case and won - after being denied treatment based on gender discrimination.
Alongside all of that, we also chat about Paige’s MANY lives and careers 😭 from years working in The George to going back into medicine and her dreams of medical school (she’s gonna change the world of trans healthcare in Ireland) 💅💅
As always, even with the heavier conversations, there’s still loads of laughs, chaos and completely unhinged moments throughout.
We love you divas, thank you always for the love 💘 Xoxo The GMAM gang 💋

Welcome back girlies, gays, theys & the GMAM gang — NEW AND OG 🖤
Welcome back girlies, gays, theys & the GMAM gang NEW AND OG 🖤 This week Producer Kay is back with us virtually and, in true GMAM fashion, Zoom decided to betray us and only record Kay’s face 😭 so this one is only audio this week (oops) it’s giving self produced pod 💅💅💅✨✨✨ We kick things off with COVID, vaccinations and medications before getting into a really honest chat about PCOS, birth control and the reality of navigating women’s health when you feel like your body is doing whatever it wants. The conversation gets deeper as we talk about motherhood, pregnancy fears, relationships and what support actually looks like when you’re trying to work out whether having kids is something you want - or something you’re absolutely terrified of 💀 We also get into balancing work, studying and daily routines, content creation, festival plans, comparing podcasts (dangerous territory), and the general chaos of trying to keep a million plates spinning at once. And of course we’re looking ahead to Limerick, because apparently there is always another plan, another trip and another reason for us to make questionable decisions 😭 Whether you’re listening on your commute, trying to sort your own life out, or just here for another Producer Kay appearance, we’re so glad you’re here 🖤 📧 Business enquiries & listener stories: [email protected] SOMEONE SPONSOR US 🔫🔫🔫 🖤 Follow us on Instagram & TikTok @givemeaminutepod ⭐ If you’re loving the podcast, don’t forget to follow the show and leave us a rating on Spotify – it genuinely helps us more than you know.
