Originally made up of Gary Barlow, Robbie Williams, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald, Take That debuted in the nineties and stormed the charts with songs like "Pray," "Relight My Fire," and "Babe." After Williams left in 1995 the others disbanded in 1996 before reforming without Williams in 2005.

Lessons from a trans man on how to tell our stories

I've spent the last 25 years since I transitioned being spoken by lawmakers, by media, by people who have never met me but feel entitled to decide what my life means. The pressure to explain, justify, or exist as a symbol in somebody else's mythology is constant. It's part of why my film, Becoming a Man in 127 EASY Steps, exists: to narrate a trans life from the inside, rather than explain it to outsiders.
