Ep. 28 The Trans Man's Experience

This week on Intersections, we speak with Matt Cham, a DEI expert working at Warner Music Group, about his evolving relationship with masculinity as a trans man. Born in Hong Kong and assigned female at birth, Matt reflects on how his understanding and experience of masculinity has shifted throughout his life. Drawing on both his lived experience and professional work, we explore how expectations around masculinity show up in the workplace, including the ways leadership can become associated with traditionally masculine traits. We also discuss what masculinity could look like beyond some of these expectations, and how both cis and trans men can find ways to feel grounded and secure in their identities without having to perform a particular version of manhood. Join us for a thoughtful conversation about gender, identity, leadership and making space for broader, more expansive expressions of masculinity.
