Trans, Muslim, Pakistani & PROUD!

Avoiding my anxiously attached boyfriend · 2025-05-19

In this episode, we sit down with Britain’s first out Muslim drag queen and transgender activist Asifa Lahore. From transitioning on the NHS to navigating faith, family, identity and the queer scene as a South Asian woman—this conversation is raw, eye-opening and deeply human.

We talk about losing male privilege, finding gender euphoria on a motorbike in Pakistan, the power of being visible, and why Asifa has finally stopped chasing love to focus on self-worth. It’s not about fitting in—it’s about standing firm in who you are.

🎥 The realities of transitioning in the UK – timelines, therapy, and why it’s not a walk in the park.
🧕 Life as a trans woman in Pakistan – between gender affirmation and restrictive tradition.
🎬 The story behind Unicorn – and the South Asian queer scene that shaped it.
❤️ On love, rejection, anxious attachment, and finally letting go of "the one."

It’s powerful, thought-provoking, and full of moments that stay with you.

Avoiding my anxiously attached boyfriend

Welcome to "Avoiding My Anxiously Attached Boyfriend"! (AMAABF). A hilariously chaotic podcast that delves into the highs and lows of being an anxiously attached boyfriend of an avoidant attached partner.

Join the first visual and audio LGBTQ+ podcast hosted by a mixed heritage couple! Get to know Faris (anxiously attached), who's always seeking reassurance, and Josh (Avoidant attached), who self-sabotaged every relationship, until this one! No matter how hard he tried.

This podcast came to fruition from long night chats in the garden with a cuppa, solving all of the world’s issues. Originally, starting as a podcast in our garage, to a beautiful studio in the snazzy city of London.

We want this podcast to be a place our beautiful listeners can enjoy, have a laugh and escape yaylity!
