Anthems Talks: Transgender Awareness Week
Widely available, new episodes daily from Monday
The excellent manifesto-setting series switches to one-on-one intimate discussions for its collection of five episodes celebrating Transgender Awareness Week. Sex Education’s Felix Mufti and West End actor Mika Onyx talk trans stories on screen and stage (“I do not want to tell another trans sob story,” says Mufti), while activists Charlie Craggs and Kenny Ethan Jones chat about surgery and queer joy spaces such as Pussy Palace.
