Rylan Clark is joined by trans man and dad of two, Freddy McConnell. In a frank and fascinating discussion, Freddy talks about transitioning, taking testosterone, becoming pregnant and how surgery has impacted on his life. He also opens up about solo parenting and how he deals with the challenges of gender stereotypes while bringing up his two children.
In this series, Rylan opens up the fault lines of masculinity in lively and revealing conversations with diverse, prominent figures and celebrities. Together they explore toxic masculinity, old-fashioned male stereotypes, gender identity, body image, parenthood, how to educate the next generation, role models and cultural differences to try to understand How to Be a Man in the 2020s.
