Tuck chats with author Julián Delgado Lopera (he/him). Topics include:

• Why Julián chose to focus on a closeted travesti in his new novel
• Creating intergenerational trans friendships and navigating inevitable conflict
• Protesting in Bogotá and navigating Colombian gender bureaucracy
• Untranslatable Spanglish, transsexual grammar, travesti poetics, and the beautiful transfemme tradition of lying-i-mean-myth-making :)
• Plus: Alison Bechdel vs Carson Kressley in Provincetown?!

This Week in Gender: We hear from a friend and supporter of Amber Kim.
