About this episode

Katy Jon Went discusses their identity as a transgender, non-binary, and asexual person, exploring the concept of being post-gender and the nuances of self-acceptance.

Katy Jon Went is a public speaker, educator and campaigner on many subjects including sex and gender. Katy's pronouns are they/them , she/her , but tolerates occasional he/hims. They see themselves as a transgender person, identify as non-binary and asexual, and where they've landed since our last conversation is post-gender . Find out what that means to Katy in this episode. We also talk about holding opposing truths, internal comfort over external acceptance, having no surgery regrets, letting go of masks, the context of pronoun use, doing what you have to do to be happy, and arriving at simply being human.
