Episode 9: Mads Ambrose

In this week’s episode, Molly speaks with Mads Ambrose (they/them), founder of body-positive, all-gender waxing salon Babe Wax. Topics include:

Why waxing can be lifesaving for some trans folks. Transphobia at mainstream waxing salons. The struggle of being femme and genderqueer (in Oklahoma circa 2010). Playing with gender as a feminine drag king. What even is a woman?
