Tuck speaks with theorist, author, and abolitionist Da’Shaun Harrison (they/them). Topics include:
- The way fatness functions as its own gender
- Working towards a better world without hope that we’ll achieve it
- Why the concept of health is unsalvageable
- Why we’re tired of talking about pronouns with cis people
- Plus: destroying gender!
This Week in Gender: WPATH’s Standards of Care 8 is open for public comment through Dec 16.
