Tuck speaks with Calvin Kasulke (he/him), author of Several People Are Typing. Topics include:
This Week in Gender: A town in Bangladesh elects a hijra mayor(ish); Switzerland made it easier to change your name and gender marker; Canada is in process of banning conversion therapy; the Dutch government is finally apologizing for forced sterilizations; and an important French dictionary adds the gender-neutral pronoun iel, causing insufferable backlash.
Find Calvin at calvinkasulke.com, and pick up a copy of Several People Are Typing wherever books are sold. Here are links to the stories we mentioned about choosing your name and buying dick pills and packing.
