Riki Wilchins, Transsexual Menace

Over the next nine months, Assigned Media will feature nine interviews of people involved in pushing back against the spread of false, distorted narratives about the trans community in the press. And we’ve tapped an old school transgender activist to do this, Riki Wilchins. To introduce this monthly feature, Evan Urquhart interviewed Riki Wilchins for Assigned. Their conversation has been lightly edited and condensed.
