Tuck speaks with Oklahoma representative Mauree Turner (they/she), the first openly nonbinary state legislator in the United States. 

Topics include:

• Reimagining the justice system in the incarceration capital of the world.
• Working in spaces that weren’t built to accommodate your existence. 
• The pros and cons of representing so many different identities while your white cis coworkers get to just, like, chill. 
• Dress codes.... they're bad! 
• Plus: Which Steven Universe character is Mauree?
