The Place hosts Testosterone by Kit Redstone onSaturday March 3. It explores what it means to be a man or a woman, and whether gender is innate or nurtured.

It focuses on a character called Kit, who is in an unusual position, having transitioned from female to male in his early 30. He has experienced adult life on both sides of the gender fence, giving him the opportunity to notice what differences there are in how he is treated by society - what he gains and what he loses by becoming a man.

However, his biggest challenge comes when he enters a male gym changing room for the first time and is confronted by masculinity in all its forms.
