We are also joined by the incredible Day Mattar, a cheeky queer poet and performer from Liverpool. Day is the co-founder of Queer Bodies poetry collective, and a facilitator of poetry workshops with various art organisations in the UK.

We sat down with trans pioneer and activist Nancy Nangeroni and her long term partner and trans ally Gordene MacKenzie.
After reading a quote from Nancy Nangeroni in Leslie Feinberg's 'Transgender Warriors" We were determined to find Nancy and learn more about her life as an activist over the decades. We had the pleasure of meeting Nancy alongside her long term partner Gordene McKenzie; trans ally, gender theorist and all round inspiring human being.
These two have spent decades of their life fighting for the rights of transgender people, raising awareness all over the world together with their radio show GenderTalk and they remain a positive force of inspiration and wisdom for all young queer people today.
We have so much love for them and we were so grateful to be able to sit down and talk to them about all things love, hope, history and future.

This week we are talking about people who have made a difference - transforming the way we see each other and ourselves. With the help of the late great bell hooks we analyse what it means to be a real man. We talk about the original 'Queen of Drag' William Dorsey Swann. The 'Glamour Boys' of UK politics. And how the AIDS epidemic changed queer culture in ways we often don't see.
This week we want to bring some hope and joy to the safe space, with some wise words from our Transgender Warriors, we also explain the impact each generation contributed towards queer liberation and we talk about life and times of one of great heroes James Baldwin.
