Today on the podcast I’m talking with Nyx McLean.

Nyx McLean is a trans non-binary queer South African, they use the pronouns they/them. Nyx is an academic who specialises in LGBTIAQ+ identities and communities, and their use of digital technology to form publics and counter-publics to resist the status quo. Nyx McLean is a Research Associate affiliated with the School of Journalism and Media Studies at Rhodes University, and is also currently the engagement editor of Makhanda’s Grocott’s Mail.

Their piece in Living While Feminist is called ‘The Agender Borderlands’ and in that piece they say:

I view being non-binary (and specifically agender) as a gift I walk this strange space of existence, it is often lonely but it can also be bright and glorious over here.

So today I’m going to be talking with Nyx about gender politics, finding home, and writing resistance.
