"How did you know you were non-binary?" "How do you explore gender?" "What is the difference between gayness and queerness?" "How can cis people be better allies to trans and gender non-conforming folk?"

On this episode, I interview actor, writer, and a light of a human, Colette March (they/them). Throughout the episode, Colette shares how for the beginning of their time identifying they identified as a gay man to eventually identifying as someone who is non-binary, more so on the trans femme side. We discuss things such as how one's queer identity isn't all we are but how it informs how we live in the world; how cis people can be better allies to trans and gender non-conforming folk; and what advice they have for those wanting to explore their gender but aren't sure how.

We also discuss:

• Growing up in the age of the internet and how that was many of our first introduction to what queerness was.
• Homophobia in the public eye and why it's necessary for celebrities to be visible with they ally ship.
• Microaggresive language towards trans and non-binary people.
• The issue with the ideas of Normalization and Tolerance.

...and much more.
