Ten years ago, Shaleece Haas stumbled upon a musician whose lyrics captured her attention ... and then her imagination. Turns out the musician, Bennett Wallace, had a story to go along with his music. It was a story increasingly playing out in living rooms across the country and one that is forcing American society to rethink old ideas about gender and identity. In "Real Boy," Haas tenderly trains her lens on a young transgender musician, his best friend and mentor, and the mother who struggles to accept the reality of who her son is becoming.Intro Music by Lobo LocoOutro Music by Kevin MacLeod This is a public episode.

We begin Episode 6 talking about maternal health outcomes for African American women, as they are outlined in NRP’s piece, “Black Mothers Keep Dying After Giving Birth.” Next we chat with Jayne Swift (@jamswift13) about her research on and work in The Lusty Lady, a West coast based peep show that is known for his effective labor unionization. She argues, contrary to popular belief, that the internet did not kill the peepshow. We also discuss the sociality of sexuality, gentrification, objectification and sex-positive feminism, and more. You can find more about her project at https://lustyladyoralhistory.wordpress.com. Finally, we chat with Shaleece Haas (@shaleecehaas), director of the documentary Real Boy (@realboymovie). The film chronicles the journey of a young trans man, and its impact of his transition on the relationships with those closest to him: his mom, his best friend, and his mentor. We discuss the film, and also the ways in which it spoke to us, as parents of a trans kid.

Host Xavier Mejia sits down with director/producer Shaleece Haas to discuss the story of 19 year old Bennett Wallace in the film REAL BOY. REAL BOY is an intimate story of a family in transition.

When I first realized I had a transgender child, Lauren reached out and told me it was going to be OK. Ever since, she's been the one I lean on when I'm terrified. She's the bravest woman I know.
