They talk speech and debate, the impact of fictional babygirls, growing up a film and TV nerd, and drag as a counterpoint to poetry.
Content warnings: detailed discussion of transphobia, anti-Black racism, misogyny, and misogynoir. Mentions of addiction, parent-child abuse, and sexual assault. Occasional use of the d-slur.
