I dag, 31. mars, er det den internasjonale transsynlighetsdagen (International Transgender Day Of Visibility). Transpersoners liv og rettigheter er under stadig mer alvorlige angrep fra facismen, og det er viktigere, men også farligere enn noen gang å være synlig. I denne episoden av Agendaen introduserer Mio dere til en mann ved navn Lou Sullivan, som var trans, homofil og veldig opptatt av nettopp det å være synlig med disse identitetene og alt det innebar. Han skrev dagbok hele sitt liv og ved å lese sitater og utdrag fra memoaret hans, "We Both Laughed In Pleasure", tar Mio dere med på en reise gjennom livet til Lou, fra han var 13 år gammel på barnerommet sitt, til han døde bare 39 år gammel. Hvor mye har en transperson i dag egentlig til felles med en transperson som døde for for over 30 år siden? [Spoiler alert: ikke så rent lite

Send us a textIn today's episode of In the Den, we confront a reality that far too many of our trans children are facing–relentless attacks from state legislatures and federal policies, bans on gender affirming care, restrictions targeting identity and expression, bathrooms, and pronouns. Trans people are under siege like never before, but there are also amazing champions for trans rights, including today's special guest Carl Charles, senior attorney for Lambda Legal. Special Guest: Carl CharlesCarl Charles is an experienced LGBTQ civil rights attorney focused on trans justice. He is currently serving as a Senior Attorney with Lambda Legal in their Southern Regional Office. Before working with Lambda Legal, Carl was a staff attorney at A Better Balance, the New York City Commission on Human Rights, and was a Skadden Fellow with the ACLU LGBT and HIV Project. Outside of work, Carl can be found cuddling and giving treats to his two dogs, Pipa and Lila, and sometimes also to his spouse, Chris, in their home in Atlanta, GA. Links from the Show:Lambda Legal: https://lambdalegal.org/ More from Carl: https://www.aclu.org/bio/carl-charles Chase Strangio film: https://festivalplayer.sundance.org/sundance-film-festival-2025/play/675dd267f71df2a4f630f99c Lou Sullivan article: https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/lou-sullivans-diaries-are-a-radical-testament-to-trans-happiness Join Mama Dragons today: www.mamadragons.org Mama Dragons on FB: https://www.facebook.com/mamadragons Mama Dragons on IG: https://www.instagram.com/themamadragons/ In the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

This is the inaugural episode of the WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN HERE: A LITQB reading series. In this excerpt we hear Ellis Martin read several passages from Lou Sullivan's diaries. WE BOTH LAUGHED IN PLEASURE: THE SELECTED DIARIES OF LOU SULLIVAN (edited by Ellis Martin and Zach Ozma) narrates the inner life of a gay man moving through the shifting social, political, and medical mores of the second half of the 20th century. Sullivan kept comprehensive journals from age 11 until his AIDS-related death at 39. Sensual, lascivious, challenging, quotidian and poetic, the diaries complicate and disrupt normative trans narratives. Entries from twenty-four diaries reveal Sullivan’s self-articulation and the complexity of a fascinating and courageous figure. LITQB Podcast: This is a podcast about the barriers to embodiment and how our collective body stories can bring us back to ourselves. This is a podcast for people who identify as queer or for people who might think of their relationship between their body and confining social narratives as queer. This can feel like an isolating experience. Our wounded bodies need spaces to talk about struggles with nourishment/disordered eating, body image issues, dysphoria, racism, heterosexism, transphobia, xenophobia, substance use/abuse, chronic pain/disability, body changes in parenthood, intergenerational trauma, the medical/wellness/therapy industrial complex and its lack of inclusion of queer bodies and much more. Hopefully this podcast can illustrate the connections, and resonant pain points, that we have with one another.

What a gift Lou Sullivan is and was to trans community! In this interview with Zach Ozma, editor of the newly released"We Both Laughed in Pleasure: The selected diaries of Lou Sullivan" we dive into erotic freedom and old-school pleasure activism. 

As we get into the swing of temporary monthly episodes, let's learn about one of the first openly gay transgender men: Lou Sullivan!  Roundtable: Advice for LGBT Students Music: "So Far So Good" by Jonathan Coulton Research Lead: Adrian

I denne omgang snakker vi om Lou Sullivan som var med til at lave det FTM community vi kender i dag. Lou var en mand der var til mænd, han var transkønnet, og fik desværre som mange andre homoseksuelle mænd i 80'erne AIDS. I klippet er der lydklip fra interviews med Christine Joergensen og Lou Sullivan, det hele kan findes på Youtube.

Kinky Friedman is an American original. The cigar-smoking, self-proclaimed “Jewish cowboy” has done it all – he’s toured with Bob Dylan’s Rolling Thunder Revue and been onstage at the Grand Ole Opry. He’s hobnobbed with John Belushi and Willie Nelson. Then, when his music career waned, he became a novelist, penning numerous mystery novels and non-fiction books.He also ran for governor of Texas (garnering a whopping 1/2 million votes) and is an advocate for animal rights. Truthfully, there’s so many layers to the man who’s real first name is Richard. Author Mary Lou Sullivan tries to uncover things in Everything’s Bigger in Texas – the Life & Times of Kinky Friedman from Backbeat Books.Sullivan talks about the similarities and differences between Friedman and her other biography subject, the late Johnny Winter. Plus, she reveals some of the obstacles she had to overcome to complete the book and get the real story of a man shrouded in myth.

In this special DOUBLE episode of OFTV we took a look at the life of Lou Sullivan - the first gay FTM and the man largely responsible for creating the FTM community as we currently know it.

Johnny Winter is one of the greatest guitar players of all time. Yet, so little is known about him. Finally, his story can be told. In Raisin’ Cain: The Wild and Raucous Story of Johnny Winter, author Mary Lou Sullivan reminds us that Winter was a major figure in the rock n’ roll of the late Sixties and early Seventies. But, through drug addiction and misguided managerial decisions, his star faded. Sullivan spent countless hours interviewing the enigmatic guitarist. She also tracked down family members, and former musicians and girlfriends to help paint a complete picture of the legendary Texas bluesman. Icon Fetch talks with Mary Lou Sullivan about writing her labor of love.
