NB: My Non-Binary Life

How do you find the words for your gender? How do you ask for different pronouns? Would it be easier in French?

Caitlin and Amrou make a pilgrimage to the legendary gay & lesbian bookshop Gay’s The Word to get into the language of gender with linguist and London Queer Muslims founder Martin Hasani DiMaggio. Caitlin asks their best mate Stephen for the sorely needed straight white male perspective on changing the pronouns you use for a friend.

Once you’ve come out, what’s next? How do you survive in a world of binaries? How do you do more than just survive?

Caitlin and Amrou seek the wisdom and company of performer Travis Alabanza who shares their advice for finding joy in a world that is so often hostile to trans people. Podcaster Morgan M Page tells the hidden tales of trans people thriving throughout history.

How do you come out to your family? How do you learn to be real with the people you love? How do you take these conversations seriously when the beach is calling your name?

Where do you look for stories about people like you? How do you make space to tell those stories? What does the future of trans representation look like?

Caitlin and Amrou look at the thrilling and all too rare times that queer folks see themselves represented in books, on screen, and beyond. Drag artist and creator of The ShayShay Show, ShayShay, remembers the significance of Sailor Moon. Writer and host of the Food For Thot podcast, Dennis Norris II, imagines the future of queer representation.

How does gender dysphoria feel? What can you do to combat dysphoria? How can you learn to live in your body as a non-binary person?

Caitlin and Amrou get into the messy business of bodies - tattoos, piercings, surgery, hormones, and somehow also octopus sex - with Trans Like Me author CN Lester. And author of Queer Sex, Juno Roche talks about finding themself beautiful, the process of having their vagina constructed, and living in a trans body. Caitlin bribes their partner Roman with tea in exchange for talking about the reality of supporting your partner through their coming out process, and some awkward stuff about boobs too.
