Proudly Asian 090 - Hong Kong’s First Trans High School Teacher on Being Intersex and Multicultural
Pride Month Special: Assigned as male at birth, Briar Armani Eagen is born with an intersex body - which means having anatomy that doesn't fit into a male/female sex binary. Born and raised in Hong Kong to a Cantonese father and half-Thai mother, Briar was once lost in the complexities of her intersex body, transfeminine gender and Thai-Hongkonger cultural identity.
She joins us to talk about how she navigates her intersex and multicultural identities, her experience working as the first trans teacher in Hong Kong, and how she guides her students on similar journeys of self-discovery and developing one’s voice through performing arts as an educator.
