Summary

In this week’s episode, Tuck speaks with activist AC Dumlao (they/them), the founder of Call Me They and @menswearselfcare. Topics include:

  • Celebrating “genderFULL fashion” as self-care.
  • Shifting your gender presentation to try to appeal to folks you’re dating (yikes!).
  • Writing an open letter to cis folks angrily sharing news of the transgender military ban.
  • The importance of TLDEF’s free legal name change services.

Read more about our This Week in Gender topic here. (This one felt weird because I can't tell if it's really cool or not? Help!)
