There are many things that could rightly make Shane Jenek furious - from social media algorithms platforming 'right wing talking points' intended to divide, to the continuing moral panic around drag queen story time, to outright personal attacks on his character. But instead, Shane is choosing a different response - namely, one of kindness and storytelling. He tells Osher why he believes this is actually the most effective course, along with:
- How his relationship to his alter ego Courtney Act has changed over the years
- How gender has always been a spectrum, and why that's liberating
- Why he chose to write a children's book
Check out Shane's book Confetti and the Rainbow Garden
