We talk about their upbringing, the relationship to their family, friends, school, university, social surrounding, community lovelife etc. etc.etc. allowing us a glimpse into their lived reality in the good, the less good, the joys, the pains and most importantly the resilience and once again the importance of community.

This podcast series features a collection of interviews conversations with queer & trans people in South & Southeast Asia around the importance of local perspective understanding non-normative sexualities and gender/queer in some Asian societies. The discussions also emphasize subjectivity, space, historical perspective, related power dynamics and agency as they are negotiated and navigated in the selected locations of Asia. A de-colonial frame will emphasize that race, ethnicity, caste, class, indigeneity informs the understanding of gender and sexed bodies in these societies.
