In this episode, I sit down with the incredible TJ Skinner, acclaimed violinist and one of CBC’s “30 Hot Canadian Classical Musicians Under 30.” As a queer and trans non-binary individual, TJ discusses how cultural and societal biases can contribute to feelings of inadequacy and threat, and how perceptions about their gender identity has played into having imposter thoughts, being first seen as a woman and now as a man in the classical music world. If you’re curious about the human experience of searching for belonging and spaces where one can authentically be themselves, this episode is for you!
