Tuck catches up with Diné artist and youth worker LaTisha Rico (they/them). Topics include:
- Raising a nonbinary Indigenous baby as a nonbinary Indigenous person
- Thinking about gender as a decolonial act
- Navigating fatphobia, transphobia, racism, and a pandemic during pregnancy

The article Tish mentions is Deborah A. Miranda's "Extermination of the Joyas," which you can read here.
This Week in Gender: The Olympics banned two cisgender Namibian sprinters from the 400m race, citing high testosterone levels. Read Scientific American's "4 Myths about Testosterone."
