Leather, Military & Living Proud with Paulo Batista -42

This week on Butt Honestly , Dr. Carlton and Dangilo roll out the red (and probably leather) carpet for a real-life superhero—San Diego’s own Paulo Batista He’s a former leather titleholder, an activist, a board member of Sparta Pride and Trans Family Support Services, a sometimes runway model ( hello, fierce! ), and now an active-duty transgender service member . Basically, if Paulo had any more titles, we’d need a longer episode description. The guys get into it— really into it —chatting with Paulo about what it means to serve authentically in today’s military and the very real threat of a renewed trans military ban . But this isn’t just politics and policy—it’s personal, passionate, and powerful AF. They also talk about: Pablo’s work with Sparta Pride and how the org supports trans folks in the armed forces How he keeps his mental health strong when the world feels a little too on fire (spoiler: it doesn’t involve doomscrolling) His leather journey —from titleholder to mentor to full-blown icon status And because this is Butt Honestly , you know we couldn’t wrap things up without: ✨ A couple rounds of Hit It or Quit It 💗 And, of course, their Love Languages of the Week , because we’re here to uplift your heart while gently stretching your limits. Whether you're into leather, activism, or just love a damn good conversation with a side of sass, this episode delivers. Suit up, strap in, and press play. 🎙️🍑 Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
