On this episode of Stereotypes: Straight Talk from Queer Voices, Christopher Beale introduces us to Lynne Jassem, a remarkable queer performer and pioneer whose journey began 75 years ago when she started exploring her gender identity at the tender age of three.

Despite living as a butch lesbian, Lynne never fully embraced labels like non-binary or transgender, preferring a playful ambiguity in her self-identification.

Hear Lynne's fascinating life journey and clips of her autobiographical solo show, "Tap Dancing with My Pronouns: The He/She Life of Richard Greene." UPDATED 11/06/24: I made a few edits for timlieness, and was able to let a few scenes breathe a bit more. This is what I'd call the directors cut. Enjoy!
