Why The Artist Bleeds ep 002 - It's Okay To Cry (feat. Thx4Crying)

French queer musician Thx4Crying sits down with artist Venus Bleeds to discuss what it means to be feminine and vulnerable in a world where both virtues are looked at as a weakness, particularly in men. In this chat, we discuss femininity, growing up queer, the importance of vulnerability in art and having queer icons as a child. How do we find strength in femininity? Is our vulnerability our biggest strength? Why is it okay to cry? And how do we handle the shame that comes from being marginalized? What references do queer kids have growing up?
