"I have a Queery about...Being Non-Binary" ft. Colette March Queer Queeries

"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.
