This week we hear from my longtime friend Blake, who began their stripper career in 2015. Back then, they identified as a queer, polyamorous woman. Over the years, they have evolved into their transmasculine identity. Blake discusses the challenges of being transmasc in an industry that insists upon femme aesthetics, and what it means to choose between income and identity in a capitalist patriarchy.
