Trans, Muslim, Pakistani & PROUD!
Manage episode 483722852 series 3585126
In this episode, we sit down with Britain’s first out Muslim drag queen and transgender activist Asifa Lahore. From transitioning on the NHS to navigating faith, family, identity and the queer scene as a South Asian woman—this conversation is raw, eye-opening and deeply human.
We talk about losing male privilege, finding gender euphoria on a motorbike in Pakistan, the power of being visible, and why Asifa has finally stopped chasing love to focus on self-worth. It’s not about fitting in—it’s about standing firm in who you are.
🎥 The realities of transitioning in the UK – timelines, therapy, and why it’s not a walk in the park.
🧕 Life as a trans woman in Pakistan – between gender affirmation and restrictive tradition.
🎬 The story behind Unicorn – and the South Asian queer scene that shaped it.
❤️ On love, rejection, anxious attachment, and finally letting go of "the one."
It’s powerful, thought-provoking, and full of moments that stay with you.
