Meet Alok Vaid-Menon: The performance artist who refuses to live in society's gender boxes
Alok Vaid-Menon is one of the biggest voices for the queer community in our time
Alok Vaid-Menon is not your average boy, nor your average girl. They belong to the ever-expanding community that the sensitive and inclusive "snowflake" generation calls gender non-conformists. They are people who fall somewhere in between the spectrum of gender and refuse to be boxed into female or male.
The performance artist, writer, educator, and entertainer has achieved great heights even as they adamantly refused to give up on their individuality – a herculean task in a world that still gets scandalized with mustache atop lipstick-smeared lips. But, thanks to Alok a young queer person today will not feel as they did growing up.
