In this week’s episode, Tuck speaks with Mads Ambrose (they/them), founder of body-positive, all-gender waxing salon Babe Wax. Topics include:
- Why waxing can be lifesaving for some trans folks.
- Transphobia at mainstream waxing salons.
- The struggle of being femme and genderqueer (in Oklahoma circa 2010).
- Playing with gender as a feminine drag king.
- What even is a woman?
