Available Summary:

Mel is a non-binary activist that I met up with in Tallinn, Estonia. They told me about the things they do; provide counselling to queer youth, being a drag performer, hosting a podcast, and being very vocal about the lack of non-binary and trans rights in Estonia. They also talk about their top surgery that they got a couple of months ago and about how it feels showing that off on stage.
