Aiden K. Feltkamp: Transgender Identity, Neurodivergence & the Lens of Equity

Librettist & Singer Aiden K. Feltkamp, who serves as the Emerging Composers and Diversity Director at the American Composers Orchestra, shares how they work with large institutions to identify & dismantle internal discriminatory practices & address unconscious biases. Aiden speaks openly about their personal experience transitioning, the impact that Gender Dysphoria (experiencing discord between one's gender identity & one's assigned sex at birth) had on their mental health, & how writing helped their healing process. We discuss our shared experiences of mental illness, or what Aiden & fellow diversity educators call Neurodivergence, & the benefits of therapy & medication in treating Anxiety, Depression, & ADHD
