In this week’s episode, Tuck speaks with writer and Ph.D. student Ari LaRae Monts (they/them), whose research focuses on queer women of color and non-binary people of color. Topics include:
- Grappling with family trauma by writing a love letter to butch queers.
- Using federal dollars to study queer SM communities of color.
- Rethinking “femme” as an identity beyond an aesthetic.
- Practicing Christianity as a queer and trans person.
- Exploring nonbinary identity at A-Camp.
