Nimona Says Trans Rights
Nimona is a beautiful story about the danger of fear and trusting establishments, and the power of living your truth. Beau joins me to talk about the power of this story, its meaning as a queer and trans allegory, and the value of trusting our own wisdom and experience over dogma and tradition.
Beau uses any pronouns and prefers when people mix-and-match! She is a former Magic Judge and scorekeeper, now turned “kitchen sink” freelancer – primarily working as a personal assistant and game design consultant, but his past jobs have included electrician, software developer, legal advocate, Spanish-English translator, and even crafting chainmail for a time. They adore graphic novels and have filled a string of modest apartments with hundreds of queer stories over the years.
