UNDER COVERS -- FOREST

#ad

This week’s Under Covers conversation is with a male, who spent his first 24 years as a female.

Not exactly by choice.

As Forest says on his website, thehumanconditioncoaching.com

“Growing up as a doubly closeted gay boy in the Midwest, I cultivated a vivid world inside my head where I felt safe and free. Eventually, I would have to come out of hiding no matter how scary it felt. I realized the fear was never going to disappear, but I felt like I was starting to disappear after so many years of keeping parts of myself boxed in.”

For the first 24 years of his life, Forest didn’t have the language to articulate his experience and was unable to identify himself as transgender. Feeling uncomfortable in his own body, Forest went on an incredible journey to discover his truth.

Now that he has, he’s helping others find their way as well.

A self-described empathic, spiritual, queer, trans, kinky, white boy with a vulva, Forest knows a thing or two about authenticity and pleasure. Which is why I really loved going Under Covers with him this week.

He’s also the first person I’ve interviewed Under Covers that requested his identity not be hidden. This is because he’s on a mission to help others with his work.

He continues…

“Healing my relationship with my body, my gender and my sexuality has been at the center of my journey. Abuse has become so normalized in society that sometimes it becomes difficult to notice we are feeling disconnected from ourselves, our needs, our wants, our joy, our pleasure, our senses. It is no accident that people who are not cis white straight men often feel shame around their body and sexuality.”

Forest feels called on to share everything he’s learned, and to guide folks on their own paths inward. Healing is at the center of his work and regardless of where you are on the gender spectrum, there’s a lot of information and inspiration to be gained from this conversation.

Now…for this conversation, all you need to know is that Forest practices solo polyamory, is a writer, visionary and spiritual slut. That’s where all similarities end…or begin.
