Musician and activist Ryan Cassata joins In Full View to talk about making music as a trans masculine artist in the music industry.

Ryan shares what it’s been like to grow up in public as a young trans artist: from turning down American Idol to becoming the first openly trans performer on Warped Tour. He talks openly about not taking testosterone, how that affects his career, and the mental health impact of navigating visibility.

This episode speaks to queer creatives, independent musicians, and anyone who’s ever been told their story shouldn’t be told. This episode is all about choosing truth over performance, protecting your peace, and making space for trans masculine voices that don’t fit the mold.
