Thu, 20 November 2008 November 20th is the Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today, we remember those who have been murdered or committed suicide because of anti-trans bias, prejudice, and hatred. This is a special episode. I was planning to put up the next official episode, Definitions Part 2, next week when I have some time off from school. But I needed to put this one up today. I didn't script it, I didn't write notes for it, I didn't even drop in my intro and outro. One take, no editing. Gender is not playing today. Gender is weeping for the fallen. Comments[1] |

Mon, 8 September 2008 A list of the podcasts I subscribe to (and attempt to watch or listen to regularly), in alphabetical order. I will update this post whenever I subscribe to any new podcasts. "Adult" podcasts are marked with a *; these are the ones whose hosts routinely recommend that their listeners be over the age of eighteen because they talk about sex. Fiction podcasts are marked with a ^. Some of these also carry a "mature themes" warning for things like violence, sex, and cynicism, either for the whole podcast or certain stories, so be aware if you are checking them out. Antithesis, Book 1: Predestination and Other Games of Chance^ A Prairie Home Companion's News from Lake Wobegon Barats and Bereta The Billibub Baddings Podcast^ Chasing the Bard^ ClonePod^ Comedy Central: Live at Gotham Crescent^ deo's Shadow Diary of a Shameless Self-Promoter Erotica a la Carte^* Escape Pod^ Firefly Talk GenderTalk Get-It-Done Guy's Quick and Dirty Tips to Work Less and Do More Guardians^ Grammar Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for Better Writing Heaven^ I Should Be Writing Jonathan Coulton: Thing a Week Jujun^* Kemet This Week Kinky Sex Radio* KinkyCast* Knitwitch's SciFi/Fantasy Zone Podcast Leather Leadership Conference* Leather Radio Network* Legal Lad's Quick and Dirty Tips for a More Lawful Life Life As A Comic Videoblog Make-It-Green Girl's Quick and Dirty Tips for an Earth-Friendly Life The Metamor City Podcast^ Midwest Teen Sex Show* Modern Manners Guy Quick and Dirty Tips for a More Polite Life Morevi: Remastered^ Mur Lafferty Presents: The Takeover^ The Drabblecast^ Nawashi^* Nobilis Erotica^* NPR: Sunday Puzzle Podcast NPR: Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!

Tue, 26 August 2008 Websites Scarleteen.com Comprehensive resource for young adult sex education. I recommend their article "Genderpalooza! A Sex & Gender Primer." TransYouth.com Wide-ranging resources for trans youth and the people who care about them, including many informational PDFs. American Psychological Association Responsible for many publications and studies about the human psychological spectrum. They have a decent Q&A page about gender identity. Raven Kaldera's Activist Writings Kaldera has several essays about transgender issues and transsexuality. Some of them are about sex. Transgender Warrior The website of Leslie Feinberg, a longtime sex and gender liberationist. Kate Bornstein A prolific author and activist for the transgender community. Transgender Law and Policy Institute A non-profit organization to help represent transgender interests in legal and political matters. Lots of information about current legislation and litigation. Books (links lead to Google books, which may or may not have previews) My Gender Workbook, by Kate Bornstein If you are questioning any of your assumptions about gender, or if you think you should be, this is the book for you. Text and helpful exercises. I recommend doing the exercises on separate paper and redoing them periodically to see how your relationship with your gender changes with experience. Transgender Warriors, by Leslie Feinberg Stories of historical and contemporary gender transgressors of all kinds. Just Add Hormones, by Matt Kailey One transman's account of his journey through therapeutic, hormonal, surgical, and social transition. Transforming Families, by Mary Boenke Stories written and told by the parents, grandparents, spouses, siblings, children, and friends of transgender people. True Selves, by Mildred L Brown and Chloe Ann Rounsley Helpful book for understanding some of the things that transgender people can go through. Transsexual Workers, by Janis Walworth A book designed to help employers better understand and accommodate their transgender employees and increase awareness of transgender issues in the workplace. People Your family. Consider giving them one of the books above such as Transforming Families or True Selves to give them some background for the conversation if they are not as familiar with transgender topics. Your primary care doctor. If you have questions about gender or sexuality, your regular doctor may be able to help you or refer you to a specialist. Your therapist. If you seeing a therapist or other mental health care professional, a healthy understanding of your gender identity and sexuality is essential to your mental health and well-being. If you are considering transition, you will also need to see several specialists and your therapist may be able to give you a referral. Your school counselor. If you are a teenager and are uncomfortable speaking to your parents, your school counselor may be able to help you. Many adolescents, teens, and young adults have questions about gender and sexuality, and your school counselor should be equipped to listen to you and possibly recommend resources. Local gay/straight alliance or other queer support group. Many colleges and high schools have these organizations, some even with websites, offices, and a full- or part-time adult advisor or facilitator. Check out what resources you have in your community.
