Episode 4: why we should twerk more on fat fryers

09/29/20 • 3 min

In episode 4 Jen talks with work colleague and Tiktok celebrity Blake ( lowqualityblake). We speak about the difficulties of being trans-masc but still enjoying makeup and dresses, exchange stories of pub food, twerking on the fryer and banter in London pubs. Blake shares his love for Linguine in white wine garlic sauce with prawns ( recipe on outbutin.org) and considers gender a system he feels he doesn’t ascribe to. We discuss the difference in cis-gender and gender-non-conforming identity and wonder what it feels like to be the other, we talk underwear, e-boy style and the struggle of trying or not trying to pass and the notion that non-binary expression in clothes really has no rules.

Episode 5 embraces life. Jen talks with Adele, a well known DJ, who goes by the name of Blonde Spirit; she has played at Stunners, Papa Loko, Transister and has her own stream on youtube. Adele is intersex and identifies transfemale. We talk relationships and painful past, we talk dissociation and possible positive outcomes of the pandemic. Her feelgood food is salty mashed up eggs on very buttered toast, and it pisses her off when people say gender is a social construct. To Adele femaleness feels like heaven and embracing it shamelessly has enriched her life irreversibly. We talk cultural appropriation, carpets, female dragqueens and queer history.
