Building Queertopia: Tyreece Nye

Chelcee Grimes and Shane Jenek (Courtney Act) invite TikTok star and 'themme fatale' Tyreece Nye to share their ideas for Queertopia

In this episode, Shane and Chelcee welcome non-binary dancer and TikTok star, Tyreece Nye, to Queertopia. The self described 'themme fatale' uses their growing platform to break taboos around gender fluidity and sex work, and they have some bold ideas for what a queer utopia should look like.

Shane and Chelcee learn about Tyreece's gender identity and their decision to start an OnlyFans page. And their idea for the queer performance and nightlife industry inspires a conversation about the perils of bringing parents to queer clubs.

Finally, Shane and Chelcee ask Tyreece if there is anything we could be doing right now to make real life better for the queer community. The hope is that in the process of building this fictional paradise, they might just hit on ways to make reality that little bit better for…everyone.
