Passing & Perceived Identity

Season 1, Episode 2

Join us from Bend, Oregon as we discuss passing and identity perception. What do we do when the way we see ourselves and the way others see us doesn’t line up? What control do we have over it, if any, and how does it impact our safety and sense of self as we travel the country?

In this episode, we talk clothing-optional gay men's resorts in Palm Springs, on trying (and failing) to “just be lesbians,” being soft in a world that tries to harden us, how biracial experiences are eerily similar to trans ones, what it’s like to be heckled by a teenage river rat, and the concept of “double consciousness.”

Why has Xilo “always felt really connected to corn”? Listen and find out with us!
