Interview with Harvey Katz
"Harvey Katz describes himself as a “Man with a transgender history.”. Katz is a performer and educator best known for his storytelling act, Athens Boys Choir which performs across the U.S. on college campuses, sharing stories and poems about queerness and transness. In this oral history, Katz reflects upon passing as a cisgender man most of the time and using his white, male, passing privilege to advocate against transphobia and sexism. He shares some traumatic medical stories and his evolving relationship with his family around his queerness and eventual transition."
