the Transgenda

This week we're going to the opera! We had the pleasure of talking to Alexis Enyart (conductor), Lucas Bouk (singer), and Mark Hakes (consultant/understudy) of the Lyric Opera of the North's production of "As One". They talk about accessibility of opera, transitioning in your professional career, and telling trans stories. Cam kicks of the episode talking about Jennie June and the Cercle Hermaphroditos.
