#25 On Gender with Marissa Anne

Anya Kaats

Jun 19, 2019

Marissa is a 53-year old queer, kinky, polyamorous & transgender woman. She's also one of the kindest, smartest and most dynamic people I've met in a while. We have an open-ended discussion about gender that touches on Marissa's experience transitioning from a man to a woman, nature vs. nurture, the gender binary vs. non-binary gender expression, being a transgender parent, the relationship between gender & sexuality, the difference of life experience between cis and transgender women and the importance of self-representation.

Marissa's Book Recommendation: Feminism is for Everybody by Bell Hooks

Song featured: "Wild Wild Woman" by Your Smith
