Exploring Self-Expression and Safety in Queer Nightlife Spaces

Tuck chats with linguist Ariana Steele (they/them). Topics include: 

• Studying ways that Black nonbinary people degender themselves via language
• Developing a “chill vs loud” nonbinary fashion taxonomy 
• How Ariana’s autism and gender relate to each other…
• …and how all this ties into their mixed identity and Aquarius-Pisces cusp
• Plus: Britney Spears, the “gay lisp,” and doing ethnographies in the club
