Join RJ Quirk (they/them) and Jade (they/them) for a series full of gender-fuckery and horse chases. This trans ancestor was one of the first people in the United States to say "bye-bye-binary." In this 2-part series, sit at the feet of Public Universal Friend, whom we will affectionately refer to as PUF.
