S1E7 • WHY MASCULINE PEOPLE STRUGGLE WITH INTIMACY
Intimacy doesn't fail because men/ masculine people don't care, it fails because masculinity teaches distance, performance, and emotional restraint.
In this episode, we look at how masculinity shapes the way masculine people give and receive love, why closeness can feel risky, and what it means to practice emotional presence beyond grand gestures and expectations.

S1E6 • SELF RESPECT NOT SELF RESCUE
Self-respect is often mistaken for endurance. In this episode, we unpack how masculinity teaches people to override themselves, confuse rescuing with caring, and mistake silence for strength. Grounded in reflections on respect, Black masculinity and the relationship with respect in American society, and lived experience. This conversation asks what it actually looks like to honor yourself without disappearing.

S1E5 • MASCULINITY & NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS. DISCIPLINE OR DISAPPOINTMENT?
Marcus G:
New Year’s resolutions often sound like growth, but for masculine people, they can turn into quiet tests of discipline, control, and worth. In this episode, we look at how masculinity shapes self-improvement, why “failure” feels personal, and what gets lost when growth is framed as fixing yourself instead of respecting yourself.

S1E3 • T & TINDER
In this episode of MASC Host Marc G. gets into the real stuff about dating women as a trans man. He talks about what it’s actually like out there, from swiping on dating apps to shooting your shot in public without overthinking it.
He also gets into the big question: when and how do you tell someone you’re trans? We share experiences, what’s worked, what definitely hasn’t, and how to keep your own comfort and safety front and center through it all.
And of course, he covers staying safe while dating in the digital age: spotting red flags, and making sure the person you’re meeting is who they say they are.
If you’ve ever wondered how some trans guys handle dating, or you just want to hear some honest, unfiltered convo about the chaos and fun of finding connection, this one’s for you.

S1E2 • THE HOLIDAY SURVIVAL GUIDE: AWAY, ALONE, AUTHENTIC & FOUND FAMILY
In the second episode of MASC Host Marc G. Pulls the curtains on the Hallmark version of the holidays. For many, the holidays season is a time of intense pressure, discomfort, and performance. Tune in this episode because Marcus cuts through the cheer and gets real about where we find belonging.
Marc G. Discusses why staying home alone might be the ultimate act of self-love, and offers comfort to listeners searching for “warmth” when it feels so out of reach. While building from episode one, Marcus addresses the difficult work of sizing up friendships, identifying frenemies, and celebrating the bonds of chosen family.
Here on MASC. host Marc G. Acknowledges the emotional toll of visiting family as a transgender person, reminding you that you don’t owe anyone an explanation of who you are. By assessing self and prioritizing our peace, we champion the radical choice to simply say no to family holidays, freeing yourself from obligation.
You deserve a holiday that truly feels like a break.
