In a wide-ranging new interview with Wired, Boucher mentioned that she’d had a “big, long conversation” with her kids’ dad about “the trans thing,” and came to a similar conclusion as she made when publicly replying to one of his transphobic tweets: that bigotry isn’t in his “heart.”
“I was like, ‘I want to dissect why you’re so stressed about this,’” the artist, who also goes by the letter c, told the magazine. “Getting to the heart of what Elon says helps me get to the heart of what other people’s issues are, because it’s this über guy situation.”
