Toby: Neuter, Genderless Person

For any non-binary (neutrois, genderless, gender-neutral or agender) people seeking some media representation or (recent) historical continuity, I came across this 5 part interview that was very worthwhile!

It’s from the 1980s and Sally Jessy Raphael interviews Toby, who identifies as neuter or genderless. They’re also asexual! The interviewer is surprisingly well-intentioned about it given the decade (though still offensive, but what can you do), and Toby receives some very positive/approving feedback from audience members.

Although they do also have a man on the show who is extremely disrespectful towards Toby and very homo/transphobic, and a psychiatrist who is pretty inappropriate. But other than them, this was quite enlightening to watch, and it was much better than I expected given the time period.

I’ve made a playlist to watch the whole interview here

content warnings for invasive questioning, invalidation, transphobia, cissexism, misgendering, homophobia, intersexism, acephobia, discussion of genitals, discussion of sex.
