Homo Sapiens

118: Alok Vaid-Menon | Part 2

What is it like to go home to Texas during a pandemic when you’re a gender non-conforming writer &amp; performer who looks incredible in a dress with big shoulders? This week’s guest, the hilarious and wonderful Alok Vaid-Menon did exactly that, and the answer will surprise you. Alok is one of those people who makes you laugh out loud one moment, then the next moment properly makes you think. We hear about starting a queer gym in a parking lot, the chequered history of the gender binary, how to shower even the meanest internet troll with love, and why are Alok, Alan and Chris launching a range of Cozy Coats? 📍H O M O S A P I E N S P O D C A S T is Hosted By:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/alancummingsnaps/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Alan Cumming</a> and<a href="https://www.instagram.com/chrissweeney/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Chris Sweeney </a>📍NEW EPISODE Every Thursday📍Come play with us on socials<a href="https://www.facebook.com/homosapienspodcast/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Facebook</a> &amp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/homosapiens/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Instagram</a> @Homosapiens📍Email us: Hello@homosapienspodcast.com📍Podcast Host: Acast Hosted on Acast.
