Jason Kwan talks gender identity, queer liberation, pop music as fantasy, and falling in love

Melissa and Isabelle sit down with Jason Kwan, the pop star, singer-songwriter, queer Asian advocate and all-around gorgeous human inside and out.

They discuss gender pronouns, coming out, being Asian in queer spaces, finding a drag family with The Bitten Peach, how queerness is perceived differently in the UK vs Hong Kong, the beauty of melancholy and love, being an advocate for underrepresented communities, and why it’s so important to be bold despite the risk of failure. Iz also shares their own personal journey with their gender identity.

Grab a cuppa and enjoy - this is a great one.
