A Podcast About Gender

Gabriel Gara Lonning

Gabriel Gara Lonning (@gabrielgaralonning) has spent the better half of ten years coming out as Transgender. This podcast began as "ENBABY" a place for him and his Transgender friends to talk about whatever they wanted.

Gabriel (now almost 30) teams up with Evie (@shadowgalsix) to discuss the strife and struggle of our modern times: being Transgender under two Tr*mp presidencies.

Listen along as he explores the world of gender and welcome's some guests along the way.

if you look at me directly (the image is different)
JANUARY 10 KING AT BRANDED SALOON My head is at 6 am. Fire on the pillow and a workday for war orphans. It's falling in love with my Transgender American Pie. Sweet pride for a british gay man named Nathanial. Isolation at the manchester airport gave me an invention idea: a podcast that is also a youtube video that is also a patreon. Sorry this wasn't nuanced at all. Does it sound arrogant? Sorry... Patreon.com/garalonning Support the show

man, i'm so so so sorry
I brought my dog on a plane to the UK when I reaaaally wasn’t supposed to, ended up stuck in Manchester Airport for six hours. This is part of my darkness that follows me and somehow it has taken years to attempt to tell this specific tale. This is Chapter 5 of a longer piece.

Chapter Four
Welcome to Chapter Four of “Man Without a Century”—a digital novel unfolding one podcast at a time. In this episode, we rewind to my personal ground zero: the moment I split from everything I knew and hurled myself across the Atlantic, reckless and reeling, chasing meaning at the Edinburgh Fringe. This chapter traces the fuse back to its unlikely flame—a father’s sudden exit, and the uncanny, impossible light that follows. FULL VERSION AVAILABLE ON PATREON Support the show

Chapter 3
"Man Without a Century," a messy, funny, and painfully self-aware narrator navigates love, testosterone, and the art of letting go. This chapter, "Genesis of An Orange Tree." It’s a dry-mouth heartbreak, and the weird rituals we invent to survive the world being left behind. Full chapter available on Patreon. patreon.com/garalonning Support the show

Chapter Two
From the first taste of suburban alienation to the neon-lit aisles of New York’s Whole Foods, the story winds through thefts both petty and profound: a Claddagh ring from the Dublin airport, rosehip oil hidden next to a rotisserie chicken, blood oranges left to dry in a vacant windowsill. These aren’t just crimes, but —a crooked catechism for a queer, trans kid desperate to rebel...and to survive. FULL RAW EPISODE: https://youtu.be/2U2bOAoTRR0 Support the show
