Show Notes
Welcome back girlies, gays, theys & the GMAM gang! 💋
This week we’re joined once again by everyone’s favourite Ballyfermot icon, Paige Behan, for what might be our most educational and chaotic episode yet.
After last week’s conversation about Paige’s journey, this episode gets into all the questions people are usually too afraid to ask. Paige opens up about her gender-affirming surgery, recovery, what life is like afterwards, and answers the questions she’s been asked a million times over the years.
We discuss the extensive assessment process required to access gender-affirming surgery, including the multiple psychiatric assessments and medical approvals that trans people are often required to undergo before receiving treatment.
We also have a really honest conversation about fertility, with Paige speaking about finding out as a teenager that she was infertile, how that affected her growing up, and the wider conversations around fertility and family planning within the trans community.
As always, it’s not all serious - there’s plenty of laughs, oversharing, questionable questions, and absolutely no topic left untouched 💅 (understatement of the year)

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. We love you all. Thanks for being part of the GMAM gang. Let us know what you think in the comments and we will see you next week! 🖤🎙️
