Nonbinary Finery

On episode 5, we chat with Arte (they/them), a vibrant guest whose journey weaves together Greek traditions, Prince-inspired androgyny, and a unique exploration of gender. Arte reflects on growing up in a Greek immigrant family where even their parents broke gender norms—shaped by their father’s connection to his feminine side and their mother’s fierce, non-traditional role as the family provider. We dive into Arte's experience with ADHD, their admiration for queer icons like Prince, and how these influences shaped their gender expression. This episode is filled with deep reflections, tangents, and plenty of laughs as we explore what it means to break free from the binary.

On episode 4 we chat with Jake aka Claire aka Jack Of All Babes (they/them) and hear about their experiences of growing up non-binary on their family farm. We also take a look at how the gender binary plays out in the Sydney drag and queer performer scene.

You may know this guest as the cowboy of Sydney's inner west. We chat with Sharkie (they/them) about their experiences growing up in an ethnic family and the similarities of being in queer community. Note episode recording and release order may differ.

On this episode our special guest is none other than Joe (they/them). They share with us a bit about their gender journey of being trans-masc, some of the wonderful inclusive spaces they produce, as well as their lived experience of being a queer Palestinian.

Welcome to Nonbinary Finery, a podcast where we discuss what it means to live outside of the gender binary. Join us each episode as we invite a special guest to share a little bit about what being gender diverse means to them and how they came to realise, the term non-binary was a good fit. For our pilot episode meet your hosts Blaze and Jay, as we explore various terms and phrases our community uses to talk about gender.
