Today I’m sitting down with Garcia, @whatisgarcia. In this episode, I speak with Garcia, a trans*, non-binary and gender non conforming actor, creative, educator and Chicago native. According to the documentary DISCLOSURE, which Garcia makes a cameo in, 80% of the population has never met a trans person. That means most people are getting their information about and impressions of the trans community through media depictions that are often problematic.
We Talk About…
- Garcia’s transition
- Receiving gender affirming care
- Garcia’s choice to change their name and what being a trans person means to them
- Their experience playing a trans man on Netflix in Tales of the City
- What it’s like being an educator today
- Access to gender affirming care
