We are over the moon to welcome Capricorn CHRIS VARGAS back to the show to discuss his new book, Trans Hirstory in 99 Objects.

But first! We do some live reporting from a Golden Girls show in Hollywood, where Chris & I were treated to room-temperature coke, hateful theater patrons and top notch impersonations.

 

Bonus: Chris discusses a Florida snorkel boat trip

 

Chris Vargas is also a Guggenheim-award winning artist, filmmaker, professor, and the founder of MOTHA, the Museum of Transgender Hirstory and Art.
