Her videos are political in nature but feel like theater, involving many costume changes and references to philosophers and academic texts. She can switch from discussing Taylor Swift to Wittgenstein with the snap of a fan. Sharp and funny, she’s a comedian who wields her wit in the service of exposing bigotry and making people examine their own biases.
She also happens to be a trans woman, and often talks about trans identity and rights. She’s unafraid of not fitting into anyone’s idea of what she’s supposed to think, and that catches her a fair amount of flak.
