RadioActive released aural pandemonium and gender chaos last Friday when we invited sonosopher Alex Caldiero and alternative circus performer Jennifer Miller.  The two have more in common than just their beards.  They both love to transgress established boundaries. 

When Miller was in her twenties she naturally began to grow a beard. 

“One of the terms that is battered about right now is ‘gender non-conforming’” Jennifer explained, “That works for me.  A beard doesn’t conform to traditional notions of what women look like.  But I feel fine being a woman.”

Caldiero recalled the first time he met Miller,

“I went to revisit New York, Brooklyn to be exact with my two sons.  I said listen, forget about the Statue of Liberty.  Forget about the Met and the Whitney!  We’re going to the Coney Island Freak Show.  I took my sons there.  And this woman comes on and starts juggling machetes and lecturing on male chauvinism.  I want you to know that at first I cringed and I closed…”

Miller quickly pipes in, “Closed your legs?”

“Just in case!” Caldiero infused, “But within moments I recognized a higher consciousness…”

Miller offered a theory of hair and power,

“facial hair is a male signifier. So when women wear facial hair she treads on male territory.  She’s treading on male power. Even in the trans world it’s used as a male signifier as well. It’s coming into manliness when the body starts to make those changes.   I put its social meaning into question wherever I go.”

Both Miller and Caldiero delighted KRCL listeners with wild stories and spoken word art for the hour.
