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.
