In November, Americans set aside a day to honor our veterans, but Governor Kathy Hochul declared thirty days to honor transgenderism. This comes at a time when gender surgeries are already surging in the United States. Our politicians should not be normalizing this dangerous and devastating lie. Another troubling trend that needs to be discussed is the fact that despite the overturning of Roe, abortions are increasing across America. After that, we'll explore where New York's congressional delegation stands on school choice. With much to cover in this week's episode, let's get started. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/albanyupdate/support

This week's Tale is, moving forwards, an annual topic I'd like to return to each November - as I do spooky things on Halloween and Christmassy things around Christmas. The week this script was written (13-19 November) was Transgender Awareness week. The 20th also marked Transgender Day of Remembrance - a commemorative day, originally in observance of the unsolved hate crime murder of Rita Hester, and subsequently a day to mourn the loss of trans people the world over that year.  Though I try to keep myself out of the tales, as a rule, I see no reason not to tell the tales of other trans people from history once a year - cause Trans Visibility Matters. This year we're going far back into the timeline to discuss an angry poet, a medieval barmaid, a couple of pagan religious orders, an emperor and a warrior prince/princess…             Sources this week include: I wrote this script largely from memory, but did refer to  This brief write up in the Jewish Virtual Library This Vice Article Adrienne Mayor's The Poison King I referred to Encyclopaedia Brittanica on a couple of details  And, easily one of my favourite reads of 2022, Janina Ramirez' Femina. The blog post of the episode is here. Support the show on Patreon for just $2 US a month and get access to exclusive content. I'm currently revamping, and will be dropping re-recorded bonus content weekly for the next two months.  December's episode, out on The Enfundu should be out in the coming days.     Please leave a like and review wherever you listen. The best way you can help support the show is to share an episode with a friend - Creative works grow best by word of mouth. I post episodes fortnightly, Wednesdays. Tales of History and Imagination is on Facebook, Twitter (for now), Pinterest and Instagram. The show has a YouTube Channel, largely for Audiogram advertisements.  Music, writing, narration, mixing yours truly.  For more information on Simone click here.     

You've probably heard of Ts Madison through her iconic videos on social media, her TV show The TS Madison Experience, or even through her latest feature on Cozy, a track off the new Beyonce album. But before she became known for her content and out-of-this-world confidence as a trans woman, she was a sex worker that was battling stigmas within the same community that was meant to protect her.   In this episode, listen as Maddie shares her struggles in becoming unapologetically herself. Because although she's always been very sure of who she is and what she stands for, it was the outside world - filled with transphobia and homophobia – that always made her feel like was inadequately representing womanhood and the trans community. Find out how Maddie overcame these comparisons and societal pressures to make herself happy - becoming the truest version of herself through radical self-love. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For years I covered stories about the LGBTQIA+ community with a focus on the transgender medicine, the community and their stories.  With over 1.4 million Americans identifying as transgender or non-binary, there is still a lot of work to be done when it comes to showing up for others and ourselves. With anti-trans rhetoric and legislation at all-time highs, now more than ever, listening to the experience of the trans community is vital. As an ally and in honor of transgender awareness week, I reconnected with my friend, Katy Tierney. Katy is an endocrinologist and also the medical director of  Center for Gender Medicine and Wellness at Middlesex Health in Connecticut. During our conversation we talk everything from pronouns and not putting oneself in a box to the brain/body connection and how the decisions we make and those made by our lawmakers can have a powerful impact on the wellbeing of our trans community. Plus we break down the resources that are available. From hormone therapy and counseling to primary care, healing and learning how to be comfortable and love the body you're in.  To learn more about Katy Tierney and the Middlesex Health Center for Gender Medicine and Wellness, you can connect via their website: https://middlesexhealth.org/center-for-gender-medicine-and-wellness The Human Rights Campaign provides a number of additional resources. https://www.hrc.org/resources As a trauma informed coach, mental health practitioner and ally of the LGBTQIA+ community, I serve to provide a safe place and support trans community and their families. If you would like to learn more about how we can work together to HUG it Out and heal, you can set up a complimentary session with me here:  https://hilaryrusso.as.me/hugitout If this conversation touched, moved or inspired you in any way or can provide support to another, please it along and subscribe so you never miss an episode.  http://hilisticallyspeaking.com/ Connect with Hilary on Social Media @hilaryrusso Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/hilaryrusso/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/hilaryrusso Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/hilisticallyspeaking/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@hilisticallyspeaking Website: http://www.hilaryrusso.com/ Watch on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMQlLeqRZ4U&list=PLD9Zog7G0YoglxYEiftvGqtJbirq474J3   HIListically Speaking with Hilary Russo Created/Hosted by Hilary Russo Music by Lipbone Redding https://www.lipbone.com/ Edited by 2Market Media

During International Transgender Awareness Month, The Revolución is airing an encore of our interview with activist Meredith Talusan. A native of the Philippines, Talusan who lives with albinism and moved to the United States at 15, went to Harvard for undergraduate studies, and medically transitioned in her twenties. Besides being the founding editor of them, Condé Nast's first-ever platform devoted to the queer community, she has written for the New York Times, Vice, Buzzfeed, The Guardian, and The Atlantic. In this interview, Talusan talks about her life growing up as a boy in a rural Asian family, her move to the United States, how she became a writer, and her new book, FAIREST (Viking Press, 2020).

Today I welcome Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Ann Murdoch. Lt. Col Murdoch is a recipient of the Legion of Merit and Bronze Star and served in Afghanistan. During Lt. Murdoch's entire military career, in fact her entire life, she harbored a secret that could have cost her career, family and even her life. Although she had a male body, and by all appearances she was a married father of two children, she had known her entire life that deep inside, she was really a woman. She was, and is, transgender. As things got to a crisis point, she had no choice but to deal with her gender dysphoria, so she began a three-year journey to transition from living as a man to living as her true, authentic self.

This is Isabella Macbeth 2nd time on The Oyster Ninja Podcast and it was all my pleasure.  Bella is a nationally ranked oyster shucker and now the lead Shucker down at Nico in South Carolina.  Today we catch up with her and get plenty updates of what she has been up to.  Since the last time he has been on Vice and featured in many articles about her shucking and rugby skills.  SInce the recording of our episode Bella has received even more Trans hate on social media. Let the oyster community band together with her instead of against her.

*Originally released in November 2019* We're re-releasing this wonderful episode with Ruby Topping in honor of Pride Month. We're highlighting the voices and stories of our LGBTQIA+ guests whom we've had the privilege and delight to get to know and call our friends. **** In honor of Transgender Awareness week Michelle and Emily share a bottle of Birichino by Malvasia Bianca with their special guest, Ruby Topping. Ruby is a remarkable transwoman who shares her pre-op transition story: the excitement, the pain, the questions, the acceptance, and the joy. Ruby's authenticity, honesty, and vulnerability allow Michelle and Emily to ask those questions you might have been curious about, too. The conversation weaves from explaining the differences between gender identity and sexual orientation to the incredible changes her body has undergone from the hormone treatment and the consideration of gender reassignment surgery. As Ruby eloquently stated, "being me, makes me happy,” she is a remarkable person that you will love as much as we do. Thank you for listening and subscribing to Cliterally Speaking the Podcast.

An Executive order was recently signed to state  that all Americans who can meet military standards, regardless of gender identity, may serve in the U.S. armed forces. This is life-changing for many transgender troops already serving! One of those troops is a Guardian in the United States Space Force. Hailing from South Carolina, Sabrina Bruce was born a male and joined the US Air Force in 2013. She saw the Military as a very masculine thing to do and believed that serving would help with her gender identity concerns. Although her service was filled with career wins, she struggled with her gender identity until making the brave decision to start her transition in early 2017. This decision lifted a big weight off her shoulders until the “Transgender Ban” in July later that  same year. Listen to this story to hear about her journey!  *Want to share your story or get our insight on any topic that impacts you the military woman, email us at camobeautystories@gmail.com.

On the 20th of November it is Transgender Day of Remembrance, founded by Gwendolyn Ann Smith, originally to honour Rita Hester, a trans woman of colour who was killed in 1998 due to anti-transgender violence, like many before her. On this day we honour all transgender people we have lost of have been subject to anti-transgender violence. Miss Katalyna who is one of the founders of Trans Pride March and proud member of Pacifique X, joins us on the show to share her perspective and talk about the events of the week. As it is also concurrently STI Testing Week, we are joined by Dr. Jason Ong, a researcher and clinician from Melbourne Sexual Health Centre who chats about the state of STIs within the community and testing rates in relation to transgender people. Jason also shares with us some of the key learnings that came out of the "Diversifying Genders" symposium at this years' ASHM Conference chaired by Teddy Cook (ACON) and Christy Newman (CSRH).   Resources Useful legal and health information for trans people: Trans Hub  To download key learnings of Diversifying Genders from the ASHM Conference, click here.

It is more important more than ever to support our trans family, and bring awareness and education to ourselves and others. This is a moving and important film that we highly recommend! As we look back on 2020, there have already been 37 transgender or gender non-conforming deaths this year (according to hrc.org). Take the time to make yourself aware, donate, and talk to your friends and family about transgender awareness. Trans rights are human rights.  Trans Awareness Resources: HRC.ORG / GLAAD.ORG / HOPKINSMEDICINE.ORG Social Media Accounts: @therealalexandrabillings / @sexworkhistory  How are you getting involved with Transgender Awareness and Transgender Remembrance?

Today’s episode is a recording of a heartfelt conversation with another visionary and fellow artist, and her friendly neighbor and interesting artist who happened to be visiting. I have had the pleasure of working with Felicia Davis on a couple of short crafty projects, using small recycled and natural found items. She is well known in Albuquerque as an innovative designer, visionary artist, a stimulating entertainer, and action oriented multi-talented facilitator. This woman is admired by many and matched by none, when it comes to getting things done, connecting people with the right other people, and enjoying her life wholeheartedly with humor and full-on sense of playfulness all the while. In this interview, you will also hear from her friend and neighbor, transgender activist and sexual awareness teacher, multitalented performing artist and nonbinary model, Julian Wolf.She is proudly and keenly naughty and nice. I am happy to introduce you to the lovely and fierce, Felecia Davis. It was a real pleasure to have this conversation, and I am looking forward to several future conversations about the subject of a community artist center in Albuquerque, especially as it relates to my own vision of building giant Unity Play stations in the shapes of dragons. More about that later. I hope you enjoyed this episode of Angel’s Authentic Action Podcast. I appreciate your attention, and I welcome your questions comments and suggestions.

In honor of Transgender Awareness week Michelle and Emily share a bottle of Birichino by Malvasia Bianca with their special guest, Ruby Topping. Ruby is a remarkable transwoman who shares her pre-op transition story: the excitement, the pain, the questions, the acceptance, and the joy. Ruby's authenticity, honesty, and vulnerability allow Michelle and Emily to ask those questions you might have been curious about too. The conversation weaves from explaining the differences between gender identity and sexual orientation to the incredible changes her body has undergone from the hormone treatment and the consideration of gender reassignment surgery. As Ruby eloquently stated, "being me, makes me happy,” she is a remarkable person that you will love as much as we do. Thank you for listening and subscribing to Cliterally Speaking the Podcast.

30 Minutes spoke with Abby Jensen about Transgender Awareness Month and Transgender Day of Remembrance which takes place each year…

Quick: think of a transgender video game character. You'll probably be pondering that for a while, because in gaming, trans characters are few and far between. When there is representation - trans characters are reduced down to being "trap" jokes or are wrongly interpreted as being trans. Their creators didn't mean for them to be anything but "quirky." When creators consciously create a transgender character, as seen when Amber Scott wrote Baldur's Gate: Siege of Drangonspear, included a four line dialogue with a blink-and-you'll miss them transwoman, things get complicated. People riot online, complain about SJWs, and make violent videos. Anime invented the trans trap joke, but has a more prolific history of telling stories about transgender characters and handling them fairly well. Comics try to, and sometimes fail to properly represent the people they're writing about. This week is Transgender Awareness Week, and November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Take an opportunity to give this podcast a listen and reflect on how our favorite nerdy media represents trans folk.
