What does it even mean to be trans?

What does it even mean to be trans? That’s the first question Torrey Peters asks readers in her new book, Stag Dance, and it’s the question that Brittany and Torrey everyone should be asking themselves right now.

Stag Dance is a collection of four novellas that poke into the dark corners of gender, delving into taboo topics and investigating the line between trans and cis. Brittany sits down with Torrey to discuss Stag Dance, what makes a transition, and the raised stakes for trans people in the current political climate.
