Gender Reveal

Episode 134: Wo Chan


Listen Later

Tuck speaks with poet and drag artist Wo Chan (they/them), who performs as the Illustrious Pearl. Topics include:

  • Re-evaluating the narrative of your book after starting psychoanalysis
  • Combining poetry and drag performance into… PowerPoint drag!
  • Creating art out of testimonials from your family's deportation proceedings
  • Learning to share without oversharing — and without judging yourself for oversharing
  • Plus: Ostrich feathers, Cantopop, loneliness, poop poems, and the stage as a sacrificial altar.

This Week in Gender: We recap the US midterm elections and discuss the concept of "Queering Congress" (lol lmao)
