Filling In American Gender History

Mar 8, 2020 | LGBT, Secular Sexuality, Transgender

In an America that is still getting around to apologizing for Japanese American internment, it’s no surprise that expansion of legal protections for trans folx has brought greater visibility and some scary push back. What a lot of people don’t seem to understand is why there are SUDDENLY trans people everywhere, invading a bathroom or track and field team near you. Of course trans DNA has always been part of our genetic legacy but why haven’t we seen more trans figures in the past? Visiting Secular Sexuality to help answer some of these questions and offer us a few of the missing pages from our anthropology books is my colleague Billie Beard. Join our conversation live on Thursday, March 12th at 7p CT using 512 686-0279, call or write before the show (512 666-0ASK, [email protected]) and be sure to check back here after the episode for some FOOTnotes!
