The One with Thomas Page McBee

Thomas Page McBee is an author and the first trans-man to box at Madison Square Garden.

Our guest today is an award-winning author, a journalist, an advocate - undoubtedly one of the smartest men we've ever spoken to - and the first trans man to ever box at Madison Square Garden.

Thomas Page McBee stepped into the ring at the most hallowed venue in combat sports for charity - and used his own experiences learning the art of boxing to examine stereotypes and perceptions about gender and masculinity.

His new book Amateur looks at those issues, as Thomas details his own his journey - and we do the same in this podcast.
