Nevo Zisin

Nevo is a Jewish, queer, non-binary writer, activist and public speaker with a particular focus on issues surrounding gender, sex, culture and sexuality. They are a youth leader, running workshops in schools and workplaces around trans issues. Nevo is unafraid to delve into difficult and often taboo topics while remaining relatable and engaging. They are the author of award-winning Finding Nevo, a memoir on gender transition and a contributor to Kindred: A Queer Young Adult Australian Anthology. Nevo recently starred in Gender Euphoria, playing “gender whisperer” who delights in confounding categories.

Nevo said in Archer Magazine “When I was newly out of the transgender closet, I started looking into prosthetic penises and other products that I thought might ease my dysphoria. I wasn’t seeking these products just to make me feel less anxious, but also to make me feel euphoric in my body. Gender euphoria can be as impactful and important to a trans person as addressing gender dysphoria. It was not just the absence of distress that I was looking for, but the presence of contentedness and joy.”
