It is such a pleasure to interview Anthony again. We reflect on the story told in the last episode, about the pleasure of dressing in pink, frilly outfits, and wearing six-inch high heels.

“I appreciate the sparkly nature of what I do.”

In this episode, we talk about language and the importance of being aware of your privilege. 

Acknowledging that gender isn’t dichotomous, we talk about the feelings that Anthony experiences with a more feminine expression of self and a more masculine expression of self.

Anthony is optimistic that each successive generation is that bit more open-minded to GLBTQI issues. While the pace of change can be frustrating, there is a sense that, slowly, acceptance of gender and sexual diversity is growing.

“And the only way we’re gonna do that is being true to ourselves and not kind of hiding behind whatever we choose to hide behind, whether it be our words, our actions, or our clothing.”
