Gender Reveal


Dec 19, 2022

Tuck speaks with organizer and educator Dean Spade (he/him). Topics include: 

  • Why civil rights laws won’t save us
  • Common mutual aid struggles: money, security culture, etc.
  • Why does burnout convince us that we can’t take a break?
  • Reflections 20 years after founding the Sylvia Rivera Law Project
  • Plus: dinosaur gender, x markers, and talking people out of law school

This Week in Gender: The Texas government tried to make a database of residents who changed their gender markers.
