Gender Nonconforming Monologue

The Naked Man Podcast

Show Notes

"Almost every moment I’ve been hurt or that I’ve hurt others has come when I was trying to act like a man or how I thought a man was supposed to act, or when I was acting differently than a man should."

This week, I talk about a fateful journey to the bookstore and identifying as gender nonconforming.

This tale touches upon the frightful nature of all-male spaces, shame, privilege, King David and the Underground Rave, Christmastime jewelry and the power of sampler trays.
