The T Life: Gigi Gorgeous and Gottmik Talk About Their Transformative New Book

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 05:32:36 GMT

Few topics have deepened the political divide like transgender issues have in the past couple of years, and that, it seems, is no coincidence. As society becomes more inclusive and accepting, those threatened by what they don’t understand have seized upon trans and queer issues in general, spreading misinformation and fear as a way to maintain power and a suppressive status quo. But humanity and unity will keep moving forward, regardless.

Now more than ever, living one’s truth publicly and unapologetically is the ultimate form of activism and push-back. Few embody these ideas better than GiGi Gorgeous and Gottmik, two bodacious media figures and beloved pers...
