During International Transgender Awareness Month, The Revolución is airing an encore of our interview with activist Meredith Talusan. A native of the Philippines, Talusan who lives with albinism and moved to the United States at 15, went to Harvard for undergraduate studies, and medically transitioned in her twenties. Besides being the founding editor of them, Condé Nast's first-ever platform devoted to the queer community, she has written for the New York Times, Vice, Buzzfeed, The Guardian, and The Atlantic. In this interview, Talusan talks about her life growing up as a boy in a rural Asian family, her move to the United States, how she became a writer, and her new book, FAIREST (Viking Press, 2020).
