3: 'Think of the women'

Comedian Sarah Keyworth explores their personal journey with gender fluidity and androgyny.

Just recently Sarah was out in town with two friends, both of whom present in a very similar way to them (short hair, fresh-faced, white t-shirt). When walking to the loo, a toilet attendant called Beatrice told them they were in the wrong bathroom. Sarah befriended Beatrice and, after spending £10 on a Chupa Chups lollipop, made her realise that they were all welcome in the ladies.

In this episode, Sarah talks about their experience on what it means to be considered a woman, whilst not particularly feeling like one.

Award-winning comedian Sarah Keyworth returns with their Radio 4 series Are You a Boy or a Girl?. Since the first series aired in 2020, the debate around gender has exploded and taken on a life of its own, all culminating with one question ‘should I be allowed to decide who I am?’. Sarah has recently come out as non-binary (a subtle soft-launch in The Guardian newspaper) and is ready to share some more of their own brand of mx-information. That’s gender non-conforming information, the cool non-binary cousin of misinformation.

Written by and starring Sarah Keyworth with additional material from Ruby Clyde.
