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

In this final episode, Sarah tells us about some of the moments in their life when they've experienced gender euphoria, it's the opposite of dysphoria and it describes a feeling that absolutely everyone can experience. It’s those moments when you feel joy due to living in the gender you know yourself to be. Sarah looks back on some of these moments, including the time they got a haircut from a family friend that stopped them from looking like a classic five-year-old girl with a blonde Lord Farquaad bob.

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.
