In this episode, I travelled to the Netherlands to meet Niek, a incredible drag king, and a wonderful human being. From navigating the country’s evolving legal framework for trans rights to finding joy in self-expression and community, Niek shares his journey with honesty and vulnerability.
Tune in to hear Niek’s story and learn about the Netherlands’ historical and political context that shapes trans people’s experiences in this country.
