Professional wrestling is a unique form of entertainment - and to succeed in it, you need a unique set of skills.

Charisma, athleticism and - you would think - a certain macho toughness. But for UK star Cassius, wrestling was actually the place where he learned to embrace his inner femininity, and accept who he really is.

And now, he's using those traits to make an impact, inside and outside the ring – and over the course of this conversation, you’ll hear about how he’s making that happen, and inspiring other LGBTQ+ people in the process.

This chat has everything – how Cassius got his love of pro wrestling; the development of his in-ring skills and persona; how wrestling helped him become his authentic self and the growing number of out LGBTQ+ stars making a name for themselves in the industry; and his most memorable moment inside the ring.

Even if you’re not a wrestling fan, you’re going to love this conversation with an absolute fascinating young man, and we hope you give it a listen.
