I still remember this. One of the things that really challenged me, and my ideas about gender early on was Iggy Pop in a dress.

It wasn't so much him in the dress that did it, it was what he said about it.

I'm not ashamed to dress "like a woman" because I don't think it's shameful to be a woman.

Once I internalized that, I started recognizing it as a key to understanding bigotry.

Shows Iggy Pop, lips pursed, looking downward, long hair blowing behind him, his thin frame clad in a sleek, black, silky dress.
