Cass Clemmer is a trans and nonbinary artist, activist, and sex educator who grew up in the Democratic Republic of Congo with parents who were Baptist missionaries. Cass dreaded getting a period and how it would mean she would be treated like a girl. Now, it’s Cass’ mission to destigmatize both periods and being transgender.

In this episode, Cass talks about being a transgender person who menstruates, the viral photo that caused a loss of a lot of Cass’ support system and threats of physical violence, why Cass created Toni the Tampon, how Cass has experienced multiple dangerous situations due to being a nonbinary person, the need for continued education and discussion around transgender topics, and more!
