Halloween Costumes as Gender‑Bending Social Experiments
Explore how Halloween’s costume tradition has long served as a space to subvert gender roles—from 19th‑century cross‑dressers and the “Ugly Law” in Massachusetts, through Hollywood’s binary tropes, to today’s viral TikTok challenges. The episode traces legal pushback, commercial commodification, queer resistance, and digital amplification that keep costume boundaries alive and evolving. Learn more about your ad choices.
