EP. 22: Second Adolescence as…the Taking Back of Who You Are
September 15, 2022
This week’s guest is José Morales (he/him). José shares with us his experience growing up within a context that ended up being quite oppressive to him and his budding queerness. He shares about having an upbringing marked by a lot of people policing his masculinity and his identity, having the experienced of being told who he was and who he should not be before he himself had a chance to figure this out for himself. He then goes on to share about how all of this influenced the rest of his adolescence and his own path to finding what he experiences now as such queer liberation. I really enjoyed getting to speak with José and hear his story, and I’m so grateful he wants to invite you all into it too.
