Hannah Gadsby

Hannah Gadsby is a lesbian comic from Australia who is performing a powerful piece on Netflix ("Nanette"). Her show starts off as comedy but, half-way through, it gets deadly serious. She rages -- with justification -- at "gender-normal" advocates (e.g., most people) and how they harm the lives of those who are different (like me).

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll learn. See it. Really.

    1. Hey Ally ... I watched this today and I laughed and then I cried and cried ... I cannot believe that people are so cruel to others. She is VERY brave to go up on that stage and bare her heart like that. WOW!!! Thanks for recommending that we watch it. She is AWESOME!!!!
