Tuck speaks with Cat Fitzpatrick (she/her), author of The Call-Out and cofounder of LittlePuss Press. Topics include: 

• Writing about Brooklyn trans girl drama in iambic tetrameter 
• Searching for answers on the Transsexual Internet Circa 2001
• Running a small press that doubles as a community org (aka lessons learned from Topside)
• Why is it so hard for (trans) people of goodwill to build a functional community, let alone a just one?
• Plus: Cameoing in your fiction using the meanest DM you’ve ever received

This Week in Gender: Rosemary deserves a sword. 

Find Cat @intermittentcat and at catfitzpatrick.net. Follow LittlePuss @LittlePussPress and littlepuss.net, and on tour now through Nov 5. The Call-Out, Faltas, and Meanwhile, Elsewhere are all available now.
