Show Notes
<p dir="ltr">With her debut novel <em>Detransition, Baby</em>, Torrey Peters made history as the first openly trans writer to be published by a major publishing house. Now, she’s back with a new book that makes the case that we’re all living the trans experience. It’s called <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/708446/stag-dance-by-torrey-peters/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Stag Dance</em></a>, and it challenges how we think about gender and explores transness not as an identity, but an invitation. Torrey and Sam dive into trans representation, the power of writing things that make people uncomfortable and how trans art can flourish, even in today’s political climate.</p>
