Bird talks to Katrina Fox of The Scavenger.

In depth interview with Bird la Bird in Sister magazine. Bird on sex, politics, performance, butch/femme and that performance about Bindel. Please note: this interview is transcribed and the interviewer has English as her second language. Some of it doesn't make sense but I've left it as is so it's true to the original. I've made two corrections you'll spot as you read, Again apologies for the grammar please bear with it cos there's some key points here.
