In the Season 5 finale (finally!!!), we celebrate Leo season by speaking with audio producer, stand-up comic and drag queen Hideo Higashibaba (he/him). [CW: mentions of suicide (40-41:20)]
Topics include:
What you might not understand about “chosen family” Growing up in a cult that hates queer and trans people Rebuilding yr entire framework for understanding the world, from scratch.  Being a transfemme man (and discovering that via drag) Plus: “The only practical idea I’ve ever had” This Week in Gender: “The Tale of Queer Appalachia” in the Washington Post.
