Summary
In this week's episode, Tuck speaks with Riley J. Dennis (she/they), best known for her YouTube videos about LGBTQ+ subjects and intersectional feminism. Topics include:

- Is it transphobic to have a genital preference or refuse to date trans folks?
- Is it possible to be nonbinary, a trans woman, and a lesbian?
- Being a trans YouTuber who doesn't make transition videos—and why that's so rare.
- Plus: Why you should never read the comments on Riley's videos.
