Welcome to our last Podcast for our month of October on Gender Identities, the Gender Spectrum, and Gender Transitions. We have had an amazing month, where we have spoken with experts on gender and transitions, and to several people about their personal journeys. Tomorrow we have our final Behind the Scenes blog for the year - so do not forget to check that out. But today is the final discussion on Gender. In this Episode: Today, Monkey and the Professor sit around the table and talk to Dr. Caroline Gibbs about steps involved in gender transitions - to facilitate healthy and balanced and successful transitions or, as Dr. Raj prefers - Gender Affirmation processes. Caroline Gibbs is the founder and director of The Transgender Institute, and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor, nationally and internationally recognized as an educator, advocate, and provider for this population. She is also a partner in the International Center for Transgender Care. She understands the current DSM-5 diagnosis of Gender Dysphoria and differentiates among sexual identity, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. A Few Definitions: We discussed a few definitions - and Caroline wanted to point out that terminology has changed - both in the phrases allowed as well as in the change of definitions. With that in mind, she believes that gender is a hardwired construct that cannot be altered - it is how people feel they are as far as male, female, or in between. That feeling is what it is - although someone's external appearance may or may not reflect those feelings. Transgender is also a very broad term. It is an umbrella term that includes transsexual people (people whose gender identity does not match their physical selves), cross-dressers (predominantly male, heterosexual people, who enjoy dressing as women), and drag queens (crossdressers who dress as more famous women for sexual pleasure or for fun). Caroline feels that cross-dressers often have a varied transsexual identity. After time in therapy and life experience - they find themselves with a shift in their identity. There is no standard here nor has there been research. They may or may not ever move to the transgender part of the umbrella and may not transition. Gender dysphoria has many misconceptions in the world. In general, it means, very simply, discomfort. In some cases, it may be extreme discomfort. Adding the term gender in front of that means someone who has discomfort around their gender. This involves a mismatch in gender identity from that assigned at birth, and where they may present physically - and what they feel is internally their true gender. As the Professor suggested - their insides do not match their outsides. It can be a very serious issue. Transitioning is where someone makes a decision to journey to make the internal and external self-match. There are many different things that may happen to make that match - and many levels of matching. The goal is the removal of gender dysphoria, providing freedom and ease for the person. This is where Caroline's organization works - in helping people make the decision as to what the best choices for each individual would be. It is a goal of finding relief. The Transgender Institute Foundation: Caroline loves the story of how she arranged for these things to happen in her life. Around 25 years ago she met a group of transsexual individuals who were teaching clinicians on how to treat them and help them through their...

Introduction Of month topic: Issues Facing Trans/Intersex/Bi Of hosts Date. Note: .3-.5% of Americans = roughly 1,300,000 people Note on the GLAAD "Understanding" reports and National Center for Transgender Equality. Ways we'll be discussing the topic (Section Descriptions: Discrimination, Legal Challenges, Physical Safety) Section 1 - Discrimination Discrimination in Public Accommodations Public accommodations are places accessible to the public, such as retail stores, restaurants, parks, hotels, libraries, movie theatres, and banks. In a 2014 study conducted in Massachusetts, 65% of transgender people reported experiencing discrimination in a place of public accommodation in the past 12 months. Discrimination in Employment Transgender people experience pervasive discrimination at work. Between 13% and 47% of transgender workers report being unfairly denied a job,9 and 78% report being harassed, mistreated, or discriminated against at work, as shown in Currently, only 18 states have clear laws prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of gender identity or expression (see Figure 3 on the next page).12 There is no federal law that explicitly prohibits discrimination against transgender employees, but there are some protections in place. Both the U.S. Attorney General and the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) have interpreted Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination "because of sex," to protect transgender workers. Discrimination in Housing. one in five transgender people (19%) in the United States have been refused a home or apartment and more than one in ten (11%) have been evicted because of their gender identity.21 Homelessness is a critical issue for transgender people, with one in five having experienced homelessness at some time in their lives because of discrimination and family rejection Discrimination in Education Schools are difficult places for transgender students as they regularly face discrimination, bullying, and harassment in elementary, secondary, and post-secondary institutions. In one survey, 40% of gender non-confirming youtha reported being frequently harassed by their peers and 37% reported frequent verbal harassment and name calling.26 Across the United States, only 13 states have laws that clearly protect students against discrimination because of their gender identity and/or expression only 18 states expressly prohibit bullying on the basis of gender identity and/or expression (see Figure 6).29 A study in Massachusetts found that 19% of transgender respondents had postponed or avoided necessary care due to mistreatment or discrimination from health care workers. Section 2 – Legal Challenges Inaccurate Identity Documents Official identity documents—such as drivers' licenses, birth certificates, and passports—that do not match a transgender person's gender identity greatly complicate that person's life. Non-matching identification can obstruct employment and travel, as well as expose transgender people to harassment, violence, refusal of service, job loss, and other problems. Only one-fifth (21%) of transgender people who have transitioned to...

Welcome to the first Nugget of October 2018 - our month on Gender Identity, the Gender Spectrum, and Gender Transitions. We are really excited about this month so make sure you checked out our three earlier episodes this week - Monday, October 1's Monday Mumbling on the Gender Spectrum, Tuesdays Podcast with Dr. Raj Purohit of Mount Sinai on Gender Affirmation Surgery and Procedures and Monkeys Blog yesterday on his Gender Identity Experiences. In Today's Episode: We are really excited about Dr. Chubak's return to the barnyard. If you did not catch her earlier visit - you can go back and listen to her from our month on Professional Services where she spoke to us about good ways to find a doctor that will be your partner in your health journey. Today, Monkey got to sit down with Dr. Chubak again to talk about Gender. As a reminder, Barbara Chubak is a medical doctor at Mount Sinai and an assistant professor with the Department of Urology. She did many things before becoming a doctor, ranging from secretarial work to being a bioethicist, She is full of so much information and knowledge - we knew she would be a frequent visitor and long-term resident of the barnyard. In Dr. Chubak's work - she has an intake form where she asks new patients to her practice to fill out a questionnaire. Her first contact with patients, even before meeting them face to face, is to include the questions of preferred name and preferred pronoun as part of her standard intake. She finds this helpful to really relate to her patients. Of course, she does sometimes get pushback from her patients with these questions. She uses those pushbacks to initiate conversations as to the reasons why people are pushing back and why she feels it is important. Gender Identities and Terminologies: As always, we do like to find out the definitions people use for some of the common terms around each month's topics. Cisgender - having a gender identity that is consonant with one's biological sex. In other words, they match. Transgender -This definition is not universally true as trans-culture is growing and evolving and accepting more in the realm of gender fluidity and non-binary genders. Transgender started its foundations under the binary gender construct where there was a female gender and a male gender. The idea behind transgender was that someone would transition their gender so that their outsides matched their internal identification of gender, which is at the opposite end of the spectrum from the assigned sex at birth. Gender Transitions are the processes by which someone changes their physical appearance to match their gender identity through a series of physical changes. There are many different choices that can be made along that pathway and many extremes or minimums that can be chosen. Changes may be hormone therapy or surgical actions. There are additional socialization trainings and re-educations that can be undergone as well. Urology Concerns in Transgender Patients At every step of the way through the transitioning process, there are different needs from a medical standpoint. The one constant are the emotional needs of the people who are transitioning. It is critical to provide a supportive, reasonably non-judgemental environment so these individuals can feel comfortable and safe. The safety is critical because transgender people are going through extraordinary changes. Transgender Youth: Friends and family and a supportive network is really important. Moral and...

Welcome to the first podcast of October 2018. This is our month on topics around the theme of Gender Identity, the Gender Spectrum, and Gender Transitions. We have a really packed month - with 5 amazing Monday Mumblings, 5 podcasts, 5 blogs, and 4 nuggets. Make sure you stay tuned in to all of our episodes! In This Episode: Today Monkey and the Professor got to chat with Dr. Raj Purohit. Dr. Raj was born in Rajasthan, India (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajasthan) but grew up in the midwest - he is a Michigander at heart. He left Michigan to study history and political theory in college - at Williams. He believes that background certainly informs many of his decisions and things he is very passionate about - he grew up in a family of artists and doctors. In medical school, he took a year off to apprentice with a painter in Rajasthan. He attributes his apprenticeship and painting to have a significant impact on how he views surgery. He came back to the US, finished his medical training at Columbia, went on to UCSF for his internship in surgery and residency in urology. He did a Fellowship in pelvic reconstructive surgery - this is where he developed an interest in cis gendered patients originally - in reconstructing the urethra from trauma and complications, and ultimately shifted his focus to developing the Gender Affirmation Surgery program at Mount Sinai a year ago. Dr. Raj made the decision to go into medicine because of his strong family background in medicine, where many of his family members are also doctors. His wife and sister-in-law are both doctors as well. You could consider medicine to be a family business. Even with that, something sparked within him when he entered the operating room for the first time - it was a sense of belonging and home and passion. He sees the surgical suite as a controlled environment, whereas a surgeon, he is an artist - painting the body and bringing out the beauty from within the canvas. Surgery is where he finds his balance in both art and medicine. We started off with a very high-level overview of what is involved in Gender Reassignment. To begin with, the preferred term is Gender Affirmation - because what is really happening is helping the person become externally what they are already internally - it merely affirms their gender identity. At no point are they really assigning a gender to the patient - that patient is already the gender they are on the path to appearing as. We really love that terminology and phrasing. As Dr. Raj states - the doctors are not assigning or giving the patient a new gender - they are only uncovering what is already there, the gender the person already feels exists. (https://amzn.to/2xOODmq) So - Gender Affirmation Surgery typically involves some level of reconstruction on the body so that the body will fit the gender that the person already identifies as. Patients have already gone through hormonal therapy and have had changes in their bodies to reflect the correct gender profile. These surgeries are broadly split into two groupings - Top Surgery and Bottom Surgery (https://www.plasticsurgery.org/reconstructive-procedures/gender-confirmation-surgeries). For transwomen (assigned male at birth, but identify as female) the surgery may entail: facial feminization to transform the masculine features of the face to a more feminine appearance (https://www.healthline.com/health/transgender/facial-feminization-surgery)...

Welcome to the second Monday Mumbling for September 2018 - this is our month on Consent and we are really excited to have an entire month dedicated to speaking about consent. It is our hope that we can talk about consent, educate a few people and have a bit of fund doing it so it is easier to learn. We believe there are so many more things about consent than simply talking about sexual consent - and throughout the month we try to shed some light. If we missed anything, please drop us a note and let us know! Today Monkey and Miss Laura mumble their way through a discussion of boundaries and what healthy boundaries are. No really - they actually do mumble here! I promise! And Miss Laura does a singing sort of mumbling… So check out some suggestions on finding your own boundaries and understanding and respecting other people's boundaries. There are some great discussions and resources as well to go with this post.

Today, with our third podcast on Body Positivity - Monkey and the Professor sit around the campfire, drinking a few beers and discussing body positivity with Bruce Sturgell of Chubstr.com… only there was no beer and no campfire… but there definitely was conversation. Bruce Sturgell is an amazing man. Bruce has cared much for fashion, which might seem peculiar because he founded Chubstr, a fashion and lifestyle website for larger men. But if you're talking style – namely personal style – Bruce is totally on board! Monkey, the Professor, and Bruce discuss fashion, body image specific to men or male-identified individuals, and the state of the barnyard. For those who do not know - this was a topic of fashion - near and dear to the Professor who is a self-professed clothing fashionista!

Monday Mymblings August 20, 2018 Body Image and the Media Miss Laura and the Madame Miss Laura and the Madam take a journey through memory lane, recalling images in the media, movies, TV, advertisements, and some of the teachings from their parents, teachers, and mentors growing up. They have a discussion, including sharing stories of the impact these images had on them as young women - and what they see today in the media that perpetuates stereotypes. The result - a wish list of things that they would like to see moving forward - changes in the media and in some of the materials that are provided to our youth and to everyone - to better reflect the reality of the world we live in. A world without as much or any photoshop dieting, enforced stereotypes, and whitewashing of iconic characters in Movies and TV series. Www.bcbcpodcast.com

Welcome to our third nugget for the month of August on Body Positivity. For this episode, we thought we would take a look at body positivity, body acceptance, and body image from a different perspective - from that of injury and disfigurement. Today, Monkey speaks with Sylvia Mac of Love Disfigure. Love Disfigure was born out of a need to raise awareness and support to those living with disfigurement. Founded by child burn survivor Sylvia Mac, who at the age of 48 dared to bare her scars for the first time.

Background Body Positivity may seem to be a modern movement as the hashtags and Instagram ready photos and images threaten to take over your feeds on a daily basis. The fight for the freedom to love our bodies is older than the internet - going back as long as we have had our bodies. As long as there have been human beings coexisting in groups of 2 or more people there have been ongoing struggles and battles to decide the "best" way or "right way" to be. Historically the battles were not always about the same things. Our ideas of what the perfect body has changed over time. In earlier days it was about the body type that was most likely to survive being run down by a saber-toothed tiger - lean and fast or strong and bulky. In areas where food was scarce, it was a display of wealth or success to have a body that was plump. Long ago in China, it was a symbol of wealth and status to be able to maintain a woman whose feet were bound. In Japan, foot binding was also a practice, specifically for dancers and courtesans. What this means is - the ideal body, the idea of beauty, of body perfection is simply that - a picture. It is not a firm thing, written in stone. It is an ever-changing image - fluid with the times. Today's ideal bodies are described in many terms, including: Gender Identity Race Age Ability Size Hair color Ideal body types are perpetuated by the media, by our stories, by the books we read and by the nature of our lives. Around the world, there are vast ranges of what ideal bodies or beauty is defined as. https://gizmodo.com/photoshop-reveals-how-different-countries-see-body-imag-1724498667 Body Positivity versus Body Liberation There are two semi-parallel, semi opposing movements that can be designated under the body positive movement. Monkey and Miss Laura discuss these two movements in the first Monday Mumbling of August (this aired on August 6 - so check it out). The first is the Body Positive Movement. The second is the Body Liberation Movement. http://queerfatfemme.com/2016/08/29/body-liberation-activism-in-five/ A Brief History I am honestly not sure that anyone could create an accurate timeline of the different cultures globally, and their movement towards body positivity, body liberation, or body acceptance. We absolutely welcome anyone's input on actions that we have missed here. There have been many instances in history where things were done to create and attain an ideal body - that was later determined to be damaging to people in a physical or health or wellbeing manner - or that simply changed for other reasons. We are going to select just a few instances: Feudal Japan Foot Binding - https://heianjapanweb.wordpress.com/2016/10/17/blog-post-title/ This practice started in and around 1000 AD and continued through around 1750 AD. Foot binding originated in the tenth or eleventh century by dancers and courtesans. This was a practice where a young girl's feet were tightly wrapped. This usually caused the bones to break, thus causing extreme pain. There are many aspects to foot binding that relate or go back to social influence. Foot binding was first found to be generally accepted among the elite families. However, later this practice became more common and known throughout society. Mothers started the force this painful...

Welcome to the August month on Body Positivity. We are really excited to come back with our third Season and second Nugget. Toda, in this mini-podcast episode we have Monkey speaking with Dr. Eda Gorbis from Los Angeles, CA. Dr. Gorbis is an expert in anxiety disorders and has been working with these disorders since 1999. She fell in love with the idea of body dysmorphic disorder and started to specialize in that. Most of us have something we don't like about our appearance — a crooked nose, an uneven smile, or eyes that are too large or too small. And though we may fret about our imperfections, they don't interfere with our daily lives.But people who have body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) think about their real or perceived flaws for hours each day. They can't control their negative thoughts and don't believe people who tell them that they look fine. Their thoughts may cause severe emotional distress and interfere with their daily functioning. They may miss work or school, avoid social situations and isolate themselves, even from family and friends, because they fear others will notice their flaws.
