Ep 17: Lessons from Transgender Activists and Queer Elders - Nancy Nangeroni and Gordene MacKenzie
52m · PublishedWe 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.
