Episode 170: Jamie Lauren Keiles

Gender Reveal

Tuck chats with with writer Jamie Lauren Keiles (he/him). Topics include:

• Writing a nonbinary history book that eschews common trans identity rhetoric
• Reporting on phallo and blowjob jokes for the New York Times Magazine
• Why Jamie will never run another Most Transgender Name Competition
• Why everyone in the trans community is annoying in different beautiful ways :) :) :)
• Plus: “Fake bi to real bi,” best novelty license plates, and Chaz Bono shopping in Miami?

This Week in Gender: There’s new work by Andrea Long Chu, Beans Velocci, Paisley Currah and Judith Butler… but we instead quote Sawyer Kemp, Lola Pellegrino and Foz Meadows.
