Have you ever tried to convince your boss to let you expense a lap dance?
I found myself in this unprecedented position as Spearmint Rhino held its first-ever trans strip night this week, organized by Teaze, which brought trans performers into one of the country's most recognizable strip club chains, proving there's plenty of room to challenge long-standing norms in traditionally cis spaces.
“Teaze started because I saw a lack of trans inclusive events in L.A.,” Vhex, the creator of Teaze, tells L.A. TACO. “I wanted the girls to work in nightlife more, so I came up with a logo and fought for spaces that would accept us.”
