Episode 165: Lucy Sante

Tuck chats with writer Lucy Sante (she/her). Topics include:

  • Why Lucy finally transitioned after avoiding it for nearly 60 years
  • Why the worst trans memoirs are like pre-cooked bacon
  • What does it mean to identify as a bohemian?
  • Reading about the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries in the newspaper as a high school student
  • Plus: Trans lit recs; vibe shifts at the Strand; and how Harry Potter ruined a visit to a Portuguese bookstore

This Week in Gender: Cecilia at St. Patrick's. (Full video on YouTube. Read more in Vogue. More photos via Time. Here's a recap of the aftermath. Most importantly, donate to the Legacy Fund!)
