  • Legal Questions for Transfolk

    When it comes to the law, transgender people face unique challenges. To get some insight on name changes, ID updates, discrimination, and other potentially tough-to navigate-legal questions, we spoke with our friend Caleb Arring. Not only is he a transgender man, he's also a bonifide attorney.

San Francisco's National Center For Lesbian Rights (NCLR) will do all the name change paperwork for you! For our Empire State listeners, here is New York State's name change oetition template.

  • Are You a Real Girl?

     

    Let's face it, no one wants to be asked if they're a "real girl." In this episode the Gender Rebels answer question from listeners Laura Jean and Nathalie who enjoy taking in a drag show now and again. But, they ask, what do you do when you're having fabulous fun and a random person comes up and asks "Are you a real girl?" How can a cis girl, a trans girl, or anyone respond to that? 

     

    Sadly, both local CSRA gay bars we mentioned, Colosseum and Marlboro Station, are both appear to closed.

     

    Also to clarify, Imam is most commonly used as the title of a worship leader of a mosque and Muslim community among Sunni Muslims. 


    Also, Ramadan Mubarak to our Muslim listeners!

  • Can You Be Trans and Republican?

    Can a person really be transgender AND a Republican? Sure, the GOP doesn't seem like a friend to the LGBTQ community, what with their bathroom bills, fight against gay marriage and now laws trying to stop LGBTQ people from adopting children. But, what about people who feel gender dysphora and also love the Second Amendment, a flat tax, and states' rights? Are they traitors to the cause or a real part of the LGBTQ community? In this episode Kath and Faith discuss the intersection of politics and identity.
