On the inaugural episode of Real Asian Voices, Sho Morikawa opens up about his experience as an Asian American trans man. From telling his Asian parents (while navigating language barriers) to telling his girlfriend he’s trans, Sho shares and bares all, with humor, vulnerability, and awe-worthy honesty.

“People who identify as queer … their identity tends to be more fluid, and that may or may not have to do with the fact that once they identify with the queer community, you’re exposed to more diverse types of people, and you become more educated in the different nuances of gender identity — It’s not just about identifying as a man or a woman.” – Sho Morikawa
