Dr Yves Rees, the trans historian leaning into the messiness of gender identity

Dr Yves Rees (they/them) is an award-winning writer, podcaster and historian.

When Yves was 30-years-old, they came to the understanding that they’re trans. After being called Anne for their three decades on this earth, Yves had to not only grapple with their own knowledge that they were not a woman - but other people’s reactions as well.

Jamila Rizvi and Yves discuss their new memoir ‘All About Yves’, which tells their journey of re-becoming, at the same time laying bare the messiness of gender and identity through the lens of history.
