Interview with Enzi Tanner
Enzi Tanner describes himself as a role model and mentor to younger men, a role that he’s been able to take on through his gender transition. In this oral history, Tanner speaks about his race, coming out, privilege, fear of the police as a black man, dating in the gay community and his ambivalence about identifying as trans. He experiences with religion have shaped his life, from attending Catholic school as a child to eventually converting to Judaism: a move that Tanner describes as being enabled by his gender transition.
