About this listen
In this episode, we discuss the ableist dystopia of Gattaca, where perfection is everything and the scope of what counts as acceptable human variation is narrowing. What place does such a world have for queerness?
CW: Discussions of ableism, suicide, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny
