Clare McCarthy is an educator, transgender advocate, author, and host of Transqat the Podcast. A former Latin teacher, she carries a black Sharpie (the 8” chisel-cut one) to correct grammatical errors on signs. It’s pedantic, but it makes her feel better about herself. A former competitive distance runner, she completed 13 marathons, including the original course (i.e., Marathon-to-Athens) in 2010.
She lives in Connecticut with four cats: Newt, The Lady Bethesda, Sun, and Nomi. To date, Clare is the only one of the housemates who hasn’t yakked on the carpet. Fingers crossed.
