We talk with him about the feminist values he learned while in the Girl Scouts, his privilege in passing as a trans man, and the importance of talking about depression and suicidal thoughts in the queer community.

About Beyond Queer Stories
From the publisher's feed
Beyond Queer Stories podcast gives voice to the queer community through the art of storytelling. We feature a storyteller from the community every week to get to know them and hear about their…
experiences beyond sexual orientation and gender identity. In the queer community we are often called to only tell our queer stories. We go beyond single identities and discuss the intersectionality of our experiences and who we are as a diverse community.
