Queer Voices in Yogyakarta, Pt.2

Episode 9 is Part Two of Queer Voices in Yogyakarta- a two-episode collection of stories of LGBTQ+ struggle and self-exploration, as told by young queer residents of Yogyakarta in Java, Indonesia. In part two, binary and non-binary transgender men June and Alfi discuss their experiences of exploring their gender identity with the help of social media, and we explore how Dutch colonialism impacted contemporary Indonesian perspectives on what the West would consider 'queerness'.
