Suzy Wedge’s personal journey—becoming a trans-person for the first time

Last New Year’s day, Suzy Wedge embraced femininity—differentiating it, as she says, from gender—becoming a trans-person for the first time. Her decision was followed by creative wave of song-writing, and Suzy Wedge and the Waves was born. As the band’s new CD—Transgression—is about to be released, we speak with Suzy Wedge about gender, identity, and music—and her personal experiences as a trans-person living in Nanaimo, B.C. Through music, and her developing activism, Suzy Wedge is calling for a ‘transgender revolution’.

We’re joined in the studio by Suzy Wedge, of Suzy Wedge and the Waves.
