This is the first of many episodes where we will have podcast updates from Nick D at Philadelphia. In this issue, we explore the life of an individual who is bisexual and have two kids.

Do you have any issues with bisexuals? In Singapore, these individuals faced constant consternations from the gay community. Some even got married and have kids.

How would this scenario play out in the United States? Nick D explores one such individual, Bill, who went through this path, but with differing motivations and reasons for doing so.

Rene, 31, a female-to-male gender reassignment candidate took hormones
for years and “passed” as a man for all of his adult life. Married to
his high-school sweetheart, Wona, a heterosexual woman, for 12 years,
no one would guess Rene was biologically a woman. Living under a veil
of secrecy and lies, Rene and Wona’s lives seemed fine until someone
“outted” the couple at their beloved church and everything they knew
was destroyed. The public revelation of Rene’s secret starts to
unravel his marriage to Wona. Through all of it, Rene continues to
hold on to his lifelong obsession to become a biological male and goes
on a cross-country search to find the best transgender surgeon, only
to discover that the current surgery options are flawed. At the last
minute, Rene finds a surgeon who has created an experimental
procedure, which will be seen in THE OPPOSITE SEX for the first time.

We apologise for the delays in uploading our podcasts. Rest assured that it is not our intention to close down for any April’s Fools joke.

Another news which is also not an April’s Fools joke is the closure of the iconoclastic Mox Bar & Cafe. Mox Bar is a place where we have done numerous podcasts and where we have witnessed a tremendous amount of newsworthy & historic events that took place, contributing to the rich history of gay Singapore.

In this issue, we have not one, not two but THREE bumper podcast episodes.

We talked about love. We engaged Rob & Harry and Skyped with our dearest Nicholas.
