Episode 129: Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha

Tuck speaks with writer and organizer Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha (she/they). Topics include:

  • Do non-disabled people exist?
  • Diagnoses, autism, and how disability + transness intersect
  • How to build care networks without relying on social capital
  • Why disabled people have the skills we need to survive the climate crisis, pandemics, etc.
  • Plus: ye olde "what does femme mean?"

This Week in Gender: The San Francisco Marathon offered a nonbinary division, which led us to 2 Hot 4 Hoodies.
