Part of HKHSPod's mandate is to highlight the work of Canadian YA Lit writers. In this exclusive interview, Brenna and Joe are joined by writer, performer, cultural worker & speaker Kai Cheng Thom to discuss her YA novel, Fierce Femmes and Notorious Liars: A Dangerous Trans Girl’s Confabulous Memoir, her refusal to write a conventional trans narrative for cis audiences, her political and historical issues with the concept of "Canada", and why Guillermo del Toro needs to contact her ASAP.

Find out more about Kai's work on her website or on Twitter.
