Pauline Park talks with Raquel Willis and Eliel Cruz of the Gender Liberation Movement about Palestine. At the Stonewall community foundation dinner Raquel Willis included in her remarks the issue of how Palestinian liberation connects with queer and trans liberation particularly domestically and was received with a standing ovation. She also discusses the lack of response by the Democratic Party to the anti-trans advertisements put out by the Trump campaign and how that is related to some large existing LGBT organizations that haven't lit a fire under the Democrats over their lack of response.

Intersex is not one specific thing, it's a multidimentional phenomenia found throughout nature.

Pauline Park interviews Carrie Gabriel Costello is an associate professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He is also an intersex trans man. Who is married to an intersex trans woman. And we're going to talk about intersex, what it is, what it isn't. Its relationship to transgender, and what the implications are for public policy and for society.

One of the things that was constantly asserted in the recent election was that there two and only two sexes. You're assigned to a biological sex, that's it. There's no such thing as gender identity apart from the sex you're assigned at birth. But you know, both from personal experience and also from deep study and knowledge of this issue, that there are, in fact more than two sexes. In this show we’ll talk about the sex gender binary and how it's a false dichotomy.
