No Escape (from reminders that I'm trans)
Summary
Listen, I love being trans, I really do. I don't want to be cis. But I'd also love to be able to just exist in the world as a human. Transness is just one (big and important) part of who I am, and I'd really like ALL of me to be seen as a whole person and not constantly have to be reminded how I'm "the other." YOU can help make it better! Truly. Comic and novel writer Ben Kahn joins us to discuss wecomics and strategy guides! Some people are not worth the full experience of you.
