The Importance of Being Transgender

Producer Ozzy(!) speaks with actor, writer and comic D’lo (he/him). Topics include:

• Creating a trilogy of solo shows about transition & queer life
• Queer community as a spiritual practice

• “Nobody can touch us, the more vulnerable we are”
• Plus: The god/freak complex and the short hair to transmasc pipeline

This Week in Gender: Mr. Manley makes Ohio history; Andrea Jenkins becomes president of the Minneapolis Council; Mj Rodriguez wins a Golden Globe; Republicans propose more bills against trans youth; and an Olympic skater says not to focus on them being nonbinary (oops).
