In this episode, we cover some of the basic definitions and language used when talking about gender constructs and challenging them. We also discuss the importance of the arts in driving social change and what the industry can do to be more aware and inclusive when it comes to transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming performers.
Aitch Wyley (they/them) is an actor, singer, and trans inclusivity consultant in the performing arts.
