About this listen

One night at a lesbian bar in New York City changed everything for 20-something Tiq Milan. A stranger handed him a flyer for a party celebrating something he’d never heard of before — transmasculine top surgery. In that moment, Tiq realized: “Ah! This is who I am.” After spending half his life living as a woman, Tiq transitioned at 22 and became the man he always knew himself to be.
