Meet Tom Rudd (they/them). Tom is a disabled non binary queer punk poet based in York, England. Their work focuses on the ideas of mental health, identity, grief and the importance of cuddles.

Tom is a mental health advocate, and talks about Borderline Personality Disorder. How . We dive into their book and some of the poems within it. Tim gets to ask questions that most people who are CIS are afraid to ask that deals within LGBTQ+ community.  As in what the difference between Queer and Gay/Lesbian is. How the community is taking the word Queer back, & the history of non binary. We also find out we're both huge wrestling fans and ask Tom who their "Survivor Series" team would be!

*I would like to apologize to Tom (which I also did personally), for using the wrong pronoun on Ep. 030.  Everyone still makes mistakes and Tom agreed.  This is exactly why I did this interview and how we need to make sure we're always learning. Thanks again to Tom for helping me learn*
