In this week's episode, Petey Gibson (he/him) shares about who he's inspired by to embody gentle masculinity. Suppose you've wondered about the differences between characters written as cisgender men versus trans men or transmasculine people. In that case, Petey explains what he's experienced in Hollywood. We also get into the film he starred in and produced: The Sympathy Card, a Boston-based lesbian rom-com. Learn what Petey misses about the lesbian community and some of what his transition means to him. Petey reflects on Gen Z, LGBTQ+ media being niche, LGBTQ+ stories that don't involve trauma or coming out, the first time he passed as a man in public, comedy, sobriety, drag, Dyke Day LA, and more!
