Tenzin Mingyur Paldron (USA) Transgender and Tibetan: The Intersection of Exile

Tenzin Mingyur Paldron (USA) Transgender and Tibetan: The Intersection of Exile

In this episode of OUT OF TIBET, Namri Dagyab speaks with scholar and artist Tenzin Mingyur Paldron (DocTenzin) about the powerful intersection of being a Tibetan refugee and a transgender man. Mingyur shares his deeply personal journey—from growing up as an "outsider" in rural America and daydreaming of Tibetan boys' names, to navigating society with a stutter and facing real-world threats from university staff. The conversation explores the illusion of "safety," why understanding the pain of other marginalized communities is crucial, and how a stunning phone call from his mother provided the radical love he needed. Ultimately, Mingyur’s story is a testament to stubborn optimism, radical self-love, and community bridge-building
