This episode is a candid, funny, and vulnerable two-person conversation about body image, gender expression, and the emotional whiplash of posting personal content online. Dominic and Jo talk through what it means to be seen, misread, praised, criticized, and misunderstood, especially as non-binary and queer people. They also get into the practical side of body confidence, from fitness routines and food tracking to the ways dysmorphia distorts what you see in the mirror.

• In this episode, Jo reflects on going viral with short-form videos about being non-binary and mask-presenting, and how that opened up a larger conversation about visibility, self-expression, and criticism.
• Jo and Dominic discuss the gap in online conversations around non-binary transition, noting that there is often more content about trans men and trans women than about gender-fluid or gender-nonconforming experiences.
• They unpack how gendered language lands differently, including comments like “handsome,” and why well-meaning labels can still feel loaded or restrictive.
• The conversation turns to the reality of internet hate, including TERFs, trolls, bots, burner accounts, and the strange entitlement people feel when commenting on someone else’s page.
• Both speakers explore body dysmorphia in detail, describing how the mirror, photos, and compliments can all feel unreliable or distorted.
• Jo shares childhood experiences of being in a bigger body, being encouraged into unhealthy exercise habits, and not having the language to understand their gender identity at the time.
• Jo opens up about their own history with bulimia and anorexia, loose skin after weight loss, and the difference between healthy structure and obsessive control.
• Fitness is framed as both affirming and risky: running, gym routines, tracking food, and monitoring progress can be useful, but they can also slide into compulsion.
• The episode also touches on body confidence in queer spaces, including the vulnerability of taking a top off in a gay club and feeling seen alongside friends with different body types.
• The tone stays playful throughout, with quick-fire detours into pop culture, posturing, towels, and the chaos of recording while feeling exposed
