Shon Faye on love and dating as a trans woman – podcast | Dating




Shon Faye, author of Love in Exile, shares her experiences of trying to find love: from a trans teen who thought themselves unworthy of love, to a party girl in her 20s – and now, a woman with a deeper understanding of what real love is. She tells Hannah Moore how recovering from alcohol addiction helped to reframe her understanding of love.

“I started to think about this idea of love and romantic love being an antidote to this deeper feeling of being unlovable, and how much of that had probably been the wrong basis to seek out romantic love to begin with, although I think so many of us do.”

Shon tells Hannah what she learned in her first serious relationship, her time on dating apps, and her time writing her advice column, Dear Shon, for US Vogue.
