Eliot and Kriss on queer life

Eliot and I know each other from high school in the early 1980s, when he presented as female, as he had been assigned at birth. Eliot and his person, Kriss, talked about living and working through the many changes and challenges they’ve experienced together. This is just the first of probably several parts of this conversation.

Here are some of the things we talked about:
