Tuck speaks with trans, queer, and intersex activist Mari Wrobi (they/them). Topics include:

• Being the only trans person at your middle school.
• Why “people with vaginas” might not be as inclusive as you think.
• What does a “typical intersex puberty” look like?
• What does transitioning look like for intersex folks?
• Also: OK, but what does femme mean?

This Week in Gender: Read them’s tribute to Lorena Borjas; watch her documentary; and donate to her trans mutual aid fundraiser.
