Was Kurt Cobain trans? Was Kurt Cobain a trans woman? What if? No Apologies delves deep into internet discourse and classical mythology – radically mis-remembering Nirvana's iconic 1993 MTV Unplugged concert. It fights back against the pressure to mould ourselves into images that are acceptable to society and the danger that lies when we are not able to live as our full, vibrant selves.
