Episode Synopsis

Send us a textHow has your gender impacted your sense of belonging? — with MalikOn this episode of the inbetweenish, we focus on an inbetweenish aspect that has seldom come up in previous episodes: gender identity. Malik is a bicultural transgender man who spent his formative years between America and Egypt. With Malik we cover his first identity crisis, discovering the spectrum of LGBTQ+, manoeuvring his gender identity within himself and also with his family, and complicated feelings towards the places you come from. This conversation was truly eye-opening for me in many ways, from how differently Malik felt in Egypt as a man vs a women, to how unifying religion can be and bring families together, and so much more.In honor of Pride Month, in June, I thought it was the perfect time to publish this episode. I ask that you please listen with kindness and an open mind.Episode mentionsMalik’s WebsiteMalik on Spotify: MMKNMalik’s Art on InstagramGlee — TV Series (2009-2015)—✳ Leave a Review or Rate the show on Apple or Spotify.
