Tuck speaks with Oklahoma representative Mauree Turner (they/she), the first openly nonbinary state legislator in the United States.
Topics include:
- Reimagining the justice system in the incarceration capital of the world.
- Working in spaces that weren’t built to accommodate your existence.
- The pros and cons of representing so many different identities while your white cis coworkers get to just, like, chill.
- Dress codes.... they're bad!
- Plus: Which Steven Universe character is Mauree?
