Living in a transgender world

Q&A clears up confusion in terms of gender

If Uncle Bill wants to become a woman – well, actually he’s always been a woman, she’s just stuck in a man’s body – which public restroom will she use? What about her facial hair? Will she have surgery? And if she still likes women, is she a lesbian?

These are some of the questions raised by three children in a film shown at yesterday’s workshop, Transgender, Allies and Social Change. The name of the film is “No Dumb Questions,” which would have also been an appropriate title for the workshop since Joelle Ruby Ryan encouraged any and all questions.
