We sat down with trans pioneer and activist Nancy Nangeroni and her long term partner and trans ally Gordene MacKenzie.
After reading a quote from Nancy Nangeroni in Leslie Feinberg's 'Transgender Warriors" We were determined to find Nancy and learn more about her life as an activist over the decades. We had the pleasure of meeting Nancy alongside her long term partner Gordene McKenzie; trans ally, gender theorist and all round inspiring human being.
These two have spent decades of their life fighting for the rights of transgender people, raising awareness all over the world together with their radio show GenderTalk and they remain a positive force of inspiration and wisdom for all young queer people today.
We have so much love for them and we were so grateful to be able to sit down and talk to them about all things love, hope, history and future.

Ep 22: Did Gay People REALLY Invent Poetry? (ft. Day Mattar)
This week we explore Hester's crazy theory that the Gays actually invented Poetry! Exploring the queer coded language of poetry and ancient Gay poets of the past.
We are also joined by the incredible Day Mattar, a cheeky queer poet and performer from Liverpool. Day is the co-founder of Queer Bodies poetry collective, and a facilitator of poetry workshops with various art organisations in the UK.
Dayโs poems come from the body, they use poetry as a tool to explore links between the psychological and the physical, the somatic and the sensual.
