The 1st Year

About this episode

Jack Dump reflects on his first year of HRT, discussing the complexities of self-promotion and personal identity.

It's been a year since I start HRT and I thought I would offer some of my various neuroses to you. I talk about my anxiety in dealing with promoting oneself as an 'identity-brand,' and how this provided unique colour in the more general experience of changing how I am perceived in the eyes of others. Cursed with the mark of the media, I try to reconcile my discomfort in the act of mass promotion with my desire to create a document of my experiences and for others to maybe take solace in being familiar with these experiences. ~~~ Please email complaints, suggestions, or requests to hausofdecline@gmail.com Thank you for listening.
