Lockwood was born Peter, in 1965. He has been married at least thirty one years and has at least two children. He has quite a lot of content on his own podcast and has done interviews where he explains that he sold his business, predictably in IT, to live his authentic truth. He appears to have started living full-time in his late fifties. Subsequently he got caught up in tax arrears, lost his house and took out an IVA which is an agreement to pay off his creditors. It’s worth thinking about in what predicament this left his wife. Also worth reflecting on this which is on his YouTube channel. £7000 spent on personal grooming.
He has recently begun to be trotted out on GB News which is where I came across him. Before I get into all his other content it is worth looking at this Channel 4 documentary which focuses on Jo/Pete getting a new wig.
In marked contrast to his wife Lockwood is clearly giddy with the attention he is getting. Marie, his wife, has to go outside and in another space to hide her tears. Her husband has already been on hormones for two years but watching him get a more permanent weave/wig is clearly traumatising.
Clearly she is wondering how she will feel sexually attractive to him whilst he emphasises that he doesn’t want to lose her because they are best friends. He needs a woman to cos play as his girl friend to make the fantasy real.
The young hairdresser sees Marie go outside and Lockwood emphasises his care for her and his empathy, the cynic in me thinks he has read that females are more empathetic and so he must perform it now he is a “Lady”. Her distress provides another opportunity for him to indulge his fantasy.
By contrast Marie constantly suppresses her own feelings to prioritise her husbands but she is clearly struggling.
Lockwood can barely suppress his excitement at his transformation and, in a very revealing, aside he lets slip what this is really all about. There are three of them in this marriage and two of them are Pete/Jo.
After expressing her difficulty with accepting his transformation and indication that divorce couls still be on the cards they have this exchange. He did try to inject somewhat of a questioning tone to his voice but the words are stark.
Marie tries to make light of it and jokes that he would have to get divorced first snd also that she still has not made her mind up. Clearly this attempt at levity is too much of her and she moves away and turns her back on the camera and is clearly sobbing, Notice how every time she dares to think about the impact on her she soon centres her husband. She knows he is the most important person in this drama, to everybody around her and doesn’t even dare to say the truth that its invaded HER life.
Meanwhile The husband talks like a teenage boy fantasising about his very own pair of tits. I don’t know any women who celebrate the bouncing breasts of the stairs climber. But “Jo” finds this validating. Interestingly this was the segment of the show about how Marie was finding it difficult to come to terms with and it soon becomes clear they are in separate beds.
He cant see anything beyond his own need for validation. The next seen is a visit to a couple who are friends. Marie has decided not to go and look at how her husband describes this and how soon he brings the discussion to focus on himself. Her pain is another opportunity to revel in his own “femininity”
When he arrives at the friends’ house, without his wife he can’t resist telling them that it was Marie who put his hair in a bun while he asks the male friend which hair colour he prefers referring to his previous, blond, wig. Men like this require validation from males as well as females.
Marie must have some good friends who have told her what he is doing is selfish. Bravo her for feeling able to vocalise it. “Selfish” is in her top ten of words to describe what he is doing. That is not all he is doing but Marie likely doesnt have any experience of this and is blindsided after thirty one years of marriage.
The show ends with Marie and “Jo” celebrating their thirty first wedding anniversary with a trip to Amsterdam.

I will do a follow up piece on his podcast content and his new career as a public speaker and diversity consultant. I have already listened to his first podcast where he, predictably, picked (tricked?) a woman with a PhD who talks about neuroscience and discrimination against women in the workplace. Ironically she is big on trusting your instincts but thinks some women should deny their instinctive recognition of men, She was smug and infuriating…till next time.
