Exploring Gender: Gender-Neutral Preschool

Can you imagine a gender-neutral environment? Society dictates so completely our conception of gender that it is difficult to think of a place where one pronoun fits all or a child can choose to play with a toy without being placed into the stereotype associated with that toy.

Exploring Gender: Equal Protections News

Vandy Beth Glenn was a legislative editor for the Georgia state legislature prior to telling her supervisors about her intent to transition from male to female, at which point she was fired. Unfortunately, as so many other transgender and genderqueer individuals can attest, this treatment is far too common.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about pronouns and my name change. I understand it is hard at first to change those things in your mind when I’ve spent my whole life being one person, and all of the sudden, I’m another. It’s confusing, and no matter how supportive you are, there will be slip-ups. How do people approach this change though?

Jamaican Newspaper Published Exodus Anti-Gay Advert

Some weeks ago, I spoke about the decline of an anti-gay organization, Exodus International, and I concluded by saying that soon, one would surely hear about it again because it needs money so it has to act to try to find new sponsors. The organization seems to move towards anti-gay countries like Jamaica. That's why one can discover a whole page denouncing homosexuality on a jamaican newspaper, the Jamaican Sunday Express, titled What you should know about homosexuality.
