PODCAST BLOG PHOTO (43).png

Originally from Lafayette, LA, Parker Guidry is a genderfluid, Chicago-based actor and LGBTQ+ advocate. Much of their work onstage and onscreen strives to push the boundaries in creating more trans and queer representation. They also work for Cision, a public relations software company, where they serve as the global co-president and secretary of Pulse, Cision's LGBTQ+ employee resource group. In their spare time, Parker loves fashion, and will take any excuse to put together a new outfit and get dressed up. They're huge fans of Beyoncé, RuPaul's Drag Race, and Pokémon. And if this resonates with anyone: they're a Ravenclaw, triple-Scorpio, and proud member of House Tyrell.

Things we talk about in today’s episode:

  • Parker’s coming out journey and their choice to use the pronouns they/them

  • How to tackle the conversation around pronouns

  • The difference between non binary and transgender

  • What to say if you misgender someone

  • The impact that this journey has had on their life

  • Coming into their identity as a transperson while in a long term partnership and navigating the relationship dynamics of it all

  • Living life as a non binary person and how they see the world from their lens
