Alison is joined this week by good friend Chris. Chris served under Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, identifying then as a lesbian, and came out the other side — literally! We get into the unique perspective of being a trans man socialized as feminine, who now gets the male privilege that comes with passing. As well as the omnipresent misogyny in military life, and what being autistic taught him about masking and self-preservation. Good stuff for people on the journey to find confidence and self-acceptance!
