Genderfluid Youth Culture
We speak about gender roles growing up in Cambodia, struggles and joys in transgressing them and different beauty standards. Towards the end of our conversation, we address the importance of standing up for each other, supporting one another in their identity discovery journey and how to center gender euphoria over negative societal attitudes.

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.
