<p>This week, on QueerAF in an episode from our mentoring programme for Trans+ History Week, we’re going to trace back in recent history where body standards for both gay and trans men come from, how they show up, and challenge labels from drag acts to gym bros. It’s a nuanced discussion, especially when we think about how the labels we use in the queer community - often mean different things, depending on where we live, what scene we’re engaging in, and that's before we think about any other personal baggage we’re bringing to the equation.</p><br><p><strong>Episode Credits:</strong>&nbsp;This episode was produced by&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/batstoneee?igsh=MTluNDd1cmF4bmJ3eg%3D%3D&amp;utm_source=qr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Otis Grieve</a> and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/artist/3c6QgvWKQcXEWMFTTOg4XK" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><u>Batstone</u></a>.
