The Twelve Labours of Himcules by Billie Antimony
What is a real man? Who is the ultimate man? What would you do to become him? Following in the footsteps of Hercules, Billie sets out to perform a new set of labours, updated for the 21st-century man, in order to prove to you just how masculine he can be!
In this fast-paced, chaotic fusion of Greek mythology and modernity, you’re invited to come along as Billie finds out if he can go the distance as he navigates gender roles, gender expression, yorkie bars, and the expectations placed on trans men to craft and conform to a hypermasculine persona before they are believed
