"content": "\u003cp>The rich LGBT history of the Tenderloin goes back farther than any bricks thrown at Stonewall, and Transgender Cultural District President and Chief Strategist Aria Sa’id makes it her job to preserve that history. Her work in securing tenant protections, workforce development, arts and cultural heritage preservation, and cultural competency for the residents of the historic Tenderloin neighborhood has taken the idea of ‘safe space’ beyond the bars and into our daily lives. Sa’id speaks with us about what makes a space ‘safe,’ and the effect that empowering the most vulnerable within a community has on the rest of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https://playlist.megaphone.fm?e=KQINC6471840865\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Below are some lightly edited excerpts of the episode with Aria Sa’id.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aria:\u003c/strong> I’m originally from the Pacific Northwest and Northeast Portland, I had transitioned in high school and just was really struggling to find a place and often always felt like the odd one out… Everyone in my life at that point had told me to come to San Francisco. And I’ll never forget coming to the Tenderloin and seeing two Latina trans women coming out of like a corner store. And they had their little, oh my gosh, what are those dogs called like? Shitzu. And they were just getting coffee. And, you know, I had never seen that. I had always been the only trans person that I knew in my life. And I think just seeing the normalcy of it, like I was just gawking from across the street, like, Oh my God, somebody like me. And there’s two of them, and they’re literally just, you know, two women going to get coffee in the middle of the morning. But to me, that was such a big thing because I’d never seen that and living in the Tenderloin is when I found that experience of home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Corey:\u003c/strong> It’s easy to think that the heavy LGBT presence in the Tenderloin just poofed into existence one day, but that’s not the case.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aria:\u003c/strong> I never thought to think about why that was. At some point. I had met trans historians like Dr. Susan Stryker, who, you know, told me that there were trans people that had been continuously living in our neighborhood since the 1920s, and that often it was by design… So at that time it was illegal to be trans… There were laws in San Francisco that you could not wear more than three articles of clothing belonging to the other sex or gender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at that time, living in an SRO is very glamorous… in the Tenderloin there used to be a string of jazz clubs… Duke Ellington… Billie Holiday… Ella Fitzgerald… All these are these different greats. James Baldwin and everybody in between were frequently coming to San Francisco from New York and Paris. And many trans women were, you know, doing sex work cabaret shows, burlesque at that time and living and working in the Tenderloin… And we don’t even know [this history] because who’s teaching out in the school?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Corey:\u003c/strong> There are a lot of places in the Cultural District that look pretty unassuming at first glance, but they hold real history.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aria:\u003c/strong> Turk and Taylor is the center of the Transgender District, but historically it’s an intersection that had a restaurant called Gene Compton’s Cafeteria, and it was a late night diner. Because it was the Tenderloin, the girls would come through and they would frequent the diner, but Gene Compton did not like that at all… And so the owner would often call the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One hot Indian summer August night in 1966, a trans woman who also was a drag queen, Vicki Marlene threw a cup of hot coffee in an officer’s face right before being arrested. And a riot ensued in the cafeteria. Drag queens getting their faces smashed into the pavement. Trans folks fighting back, queer folks jumping on officers. I mean, it was a riot and it was a catalyst in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We would see Cooper’s donuts in L.A. there would be riots in Philly. And then, of course, the big Beyoncé of the group, Stonewall, which sort of set the new wave into the gay liberation movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Turk and Taylor intersection is still quite historic for us as trans people. But the site of the riot is actually owned by a private for-profit prison company called Geo Group, which is literally, I think, what many you know trans and queer folks are fighting against.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Corey:\u003c/strong> Alongside Honey Mahogany and Janetta Johnson, you are one of the three co-founders of the Transgender Cultural District. Why did y’all create it?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aria:\u003c/strong> We started our work in 2016. A luxury sort of developer that was coming in and tearing down a building right behind Turk and Taylor, they had determined that there was no prominent LGBT histories in the neighborhood and had chosen not to work with the queer and trans community in the neighborhood as well, the Tenderloin was sort of this last frontier of development and gentrification. And so that was our fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over 75 percent of the trans folks living in the Tenderloin are living in abject poverty on less than $10,000 a year… to the developer, they didn’t care. They felt like… by building, they were adding to the neighborhood or making it better. But I think people forget that there are people living in the neighborhood already marginalized and disenfranchised. And because of that looming displacement, where else would they go in terms of safety?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[The Transgender Cultural District] became legally recognized in January 2017, and it then became world news and we were like shocked because then, you know, we’re getting calls from like Swedish Public Radio or like Switzerland or the Daily Mail in the U.K. And obviously, you know, we got so much love, you know, and LGBT media in the United States and our community was just, like, really outspokenly excited about the possibilities and we were having like town halls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it was complicated because, you know, we became legally recognized and then months later, nothing. There was no funding. Though the developer was legally obligated to give us funding from the community benefits effort, we didn’t realize that they legally didn’t have to do it until they broke ground. And so, you know, those funds didn’t even come into last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Corey:\u003c/strong>: This is where Aria’s work as executive director comes in. It’s all about filling and funding those gaps, building partnerships with NGO’s that help people get access to housing, food, and jobs…\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aria:\u003c/strong> We’ll be launching guaranteed income for transgender people who are living in abject poverty, and they’ll be provided with $1000 a month for 18 months. And that’s been a replication of the universal basic income program that happened in Stockton, California, and their mayor, Michael Tubbs. To me, those are forms of reparations as we fight for black trans people, specifically. Creating a safety net for our folks, it’s the most important thing that the transgender district is building right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Corey:\u003c/strong> To have a cultural district, you need to uplift the culture. One way they set about doing that was using flags to make trans support visible… To put out into the world that trans people matter that they belong here, and that this belonging is recognized in the landscape of the neighborhood.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aria:\u003c/strong> One of the first big things that we wanted to do was to make sure that people could see the trans flags. I used to joke, like, I’m transgender nine-to-five, because when you have the job of intellectualizing your gender identity and then translating that for public consumption and explaining to people what pronouns are and explaining to people, why trans people are who they say they are every single day, day in and day out, I think you grow weary…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so when they painted those flags, I remember people texting me photos and then I went outside and I got to see the trans flags on the light pole. And never in my life had I been so proud to be a transgender woman. And like knowing that so many trans folks have come before me to pave the way for the freedoms that we have now and that we’ve inherited. A little bit of freedom, honey, but freedom nonetheless. It just was such a beautiful moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was always raised that we have to be twice as good to get half as much as white folks. As a leader there is a double standard. We are triple audited compared to white organizations that may not even be audited by funders. It’s interesting because I have those experiences. I’m always a step ahead. So funders will literally be like, we’d like to sort of see where the funds have been spent. In ten minutes, I’m going through our server like, here you go, girl. Click Click, Click Click. Here’s a year’s worth of receipts!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think because the overwhelming majority of philanthropic donors, as well as philanthropy institutions, are led and facilitated by white people, they tend to inherently trust people that look like them, as opposed to us. We have this stigma. I’m a blonde Black trans woman. Child, bye! They think I just got off the track yesterday. They don’t have trust in Black leaders. And so you almost have to suspend their disbelief and sort of co-facilitate a paradigm shift for them to understand, that the people who are facing the disparity should be the ones leading the solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone says that they want to see trans people empowered. But trust me, and I use my girls at the Transgender District as a focus group … The way the world receives them now that they’re more economically empowered than they ever have been, is such a jarring experience because it’s almost like people love the idea of empowering trans people, but they’re not married to it because it then challenges this idea that we should be infantilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the most beautiful moments of joy that I’ve had as a black trans person were when I was doing survival sex work in the Tenderloin on Polk and Post. And I was with other girls and we had nowhere to stay. We barely had access to food or shelter or what have you. But the way that we would come together and kiki and laugh and have joy while we were working, like we’d be waiting on the block, you know, for customers to circle around. And that was when we would read each other and laugh and like, tell jokes.

And I’ll never forget coming to the Tenderloin and seeing two Latina trans women coming out of like a corner store. And they had their little, oh my gosh, what are those dogs called like? Shitzu. And they were just getting coffee. And, you know, I had never seen that. I had always been the only trans person that I knew in my life. And I think just seeing the normalcy of it, like I was just gawking from across the street, like, Oh my God, somebody like me. And there’s two of them, and they’re literally just, you know, two women going to get coffee in the middle of the morning. But to me, that was such a big thing because I’d never seen that and living in the Tenderloin is when I found that experience of home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Corey:\u003c/strong> It’s easy to think that the heavy LGBT presence in the Tenderloin just poofed into existence one day, but that’s not the case.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aria:\u003c/strong> I never thought to think about why that was. At some point. I had met trans historians like Dr. Susan Stryker, who, you know, told me that there were trans people that had been continuously living in our neighborhood since the 1920s, and that often it was by design… So at that time it was illegal to be trans… There were laws in San Francisco that you could not wear more than three articles of clothing belonging to the other sex or gender.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And at that time, living in an SRO is very glamorous… in the Tenderloin there used to be a string of jazz clubs… Duke Ellington… Billie Holiday… Ella Fitzgerald… All these are these different greats. James Baldwin and everybody in between were frequently coming to San Francisco from New York and Paris. And many trans women were, you know, doing sex work cabaret shows, burlesque at that time and living and working in the Tenderloin… And we don’t even know [this history] because who’s teaching out in the school?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Corey:\u003c/strong> There are a lot of places in the Cultural District that look pretty unassuming at first glance, but they hold real history.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aria:\u003c/strong> Turk and Taylor is the center of the Transgender District, but historically it’s an intersection that had a restaurant called Gene Compton’s Cafeteria, and it was a late night diner. Because it was the Tenderloin, the girls would come through and they would frequent the diner, but Gene Compton did not like that at all… And so the owner would often call the police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One hot Indian summer August night in 1966, a trans woman who also was a drag queen, Vicki Marlene threw a cup of hot coffee in an officer’s face right before being arrested. And a riot ensued in the cafeteria. Drag queens getting their faces smashed into the pavement. Trans folks fighting back, queer folks jumping on officers. I mean, it was a riot and it was a catalyst in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We would see Cooper’s donuts in L.A. there would be riots in Philly. And then, of course, the big Beyoncé of the group, Stonewall, which sort of set the new wave into the gay liberation movement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Turk and Taylor intersection is still quite historic for us as trans people. But the site of the riot is actually owned by a private for-profit prison company called Geo Group, which is literally, I think, what many you know trans and queer folks are fighting against.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Corey:\u003c/strong> Alongside Honey Mahogany and Janetta Johnson, you are one of the three co-founders of the Transgender Cultural District. Why did y’all create it?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aria:\u003c/strong> We started our work in 2016. A luxury sort of developer that was coming in and tearing down a building right behind Turk and Taylor, they had determined that there was no prominent LGBT histories in the neighborhood and had chosen not to work with the queer and trans community in the neighborhood as well, the Tenderloin was sort of this last frontier of development and gentrification. And so that was our fight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over 75 percent of the trans folks living in the Tenderloin are living in abject poverty on less than $10,000 a year… to the developer, they didn’t care. They felt like… by building, they were adding to the neighborhood or making it better. But I think people forget that there are people living in the neighborhood already marginalized and disenfranchised. And because of that looming displacement, where else would they go in terms of safety?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[The Transgender Cultural District] became legally recognized in January 2017, and it then became world news and we were like shocked because then, you know, we’re getting calls from like Swedish Public Radio or like Switzerland or the Daily Mail in the U.K. And obviously, you know, we got so much love, you know, and LGBT media in the United States and our community was just, like, really outspokenly excited about the possibilities and we were having like town halls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think it was complicated because, you know, we became legally recognized and then months later, nothing. There was no funding. Though the developer was legally obligated to give us funding from the community benefits effort, we didn’t realize that they legally didn’t have to do it until they broke ground. And so, you know, those funds didn’t even come into last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Corey:\u003c/strong>: This is where Aria’s work as executive director comes in. It’s all about filling and funding those gaps, building partnerships with NGO’s that help people get access to housing, food, and jobs…\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aria:\u003c/strong> We’ll be launching guaranteed income for transgender people who are living in abject poverty, and they’ll be provided with $1000 a month for 18 months. And that’s been a replication of the universal basic income program that happened in Stockton, California, and their mayor, Michael Tubbs. To me, those are forms of reparations as we fight for black trans people, specifically. Creating a safety net for our folks, it’s the most important thing that the transgender district is building right now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>Corey:\u003c/strong> To have a cultural district, you need to uplift the culture. One way they set about doing that was using flags to make trans support visible… To put out into the world that trans people matter that they belong here, and that this belonging is recognized in the landscape of the neighborhood.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aria:\u003c/strong> One of the first big things that we wanted to do was to make sure that people could see the trans flags. I used to joke, like, I’m transgender nine-to-five, because when you have the job of intellectualizing your gender identity and then translating that for public consumption and explaining to people what pronouns are and explaining to people, why trans people are who they say they are every single day, day in and day out, I think you grow weary…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so when they painted those flags, I remember people texting me photos and then I went outside and I got to see the trans flags on the light pole. And never in my life had I been so proud to be a transgender woman. And like knowing that so many trans folks have come before me to pave the way for the freedoms that we have now and that we’ve inherited. A little bit of freedom, honey, but freedom nonetheless. It just was such a beautiful moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was always raised that we have to be twice as good to get half as much as white folks. As a leader there is a double standard. We are triple audited compared to white organizations that may not even be audited by funders. It’s interesting because I have those experiences. I’m always a step ahead. So funders will literally be like, we’d like to sort of see where the funds have been spent. In ten minutes, I’m going through our server like, here you go, girl. Click Click, Click Click. Here’s a year’s worth of receipts!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And I think because the overwhelming majority of philanthropic donors, as well as philanthropy institutions, are led and facilitated by white people, they tend to inherently trust people that look like them, as opposed to us. We have this stigma. I’m a blonde Black trans woman. Child, bye! They think I just got off the track yesterday. They don’t have trust in Black leaders. And so you almost have to suspend their disbelief and sort of co-facilitate a paradigm shift for them to understand, that the people who are facing the disparity should be the ones leading the solutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone says that they want to see trans people empowered. But trust me, and I use my girls at the Transgender District as a focus group … The way the world receives them now that they’re more economically empowered than they ever have been, is such a jarring experience because it’s almost like people love the idea of empowering trans people, but they’re not married to it because it then challenges this idea that we should be infantilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the most beautiful moments of joy that I’ve had as a black trans person were when I was doing survival sex work in the Tenderloin on Polk and Post. And I was with other girls and we had nowhere to stay. We barely had access to food or shelter or what have you. But the way that we would come together and kiki and laugh and have joy while we were working, like we’d be waiting on the block, you know, for customers to circle around. And that was when we would read each other and laugh and like, tell jokes. And those are the moments that stick with me, because it reminds me that, you know, even in our disenfranchisement, Black trans joy is a revolutionary act. The self-care of Black bodies is a revolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.

"title": "‘No Ordinary Man’ Reintroduces Jazz Musician and Transgender Hero, Billy Tipton",
"headTitle": "‘No Ordinary Man’ Reintroduces Jazz Musician and Transgender Hero, Billy Tipton | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>Billy Tipton was an \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3JAAxFYEws\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">accomplished jazz musician\u003c/a> and talent agent, a dedicated husband, and a father of three adopted sons. It was only after he died in 1989, at the age of 74, that his family, friends and fans found out that he had lived in a female body. The public outing that Tipton was subjected to after his death resulted in his being both publicly misgendered \u003cem>and\u003c/em> mis-characterized as a liar; his musical legacy was overshadowed by tabloid trash talk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, a new documentary written by \u003ca href=\"https://originalplumbing.bigcartel.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Original Plumbing\u003c/em>\u003c/a> co-founder \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/theamosmac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amos Mac\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/spectraversa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aisling Chin-Yee\u003c/a>—who co-directed the film with \u003ca href=\"https://www.chasejoynt.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chase Joynt\u003c/a>—seeks to undo that damage. And oh, how beautifully it succeeds. \u003cem>No Ordinary Man\u003c/em> is a moving and consistently thought-provoking tribute to an individual who lived as authentically and boldly as he could, at a time when trans men weren’t only without medical recourse, but weren’t even supposed to exist. “It’s scary,” Zackary Drucker poignantly notes in the film, “when centuries of your survival have been based on not being seen.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/sLS-Fq8Cbxw\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tipton’s life is explored in some depth, including his greatest triumphs—such as playing with jazz legends like Duke Ellington—and painful tragedies. Most devastatingly, Tipton refused to seek medical treatment for the ulcer that ultimately killed him, no doubt fearful of being discovered. His 18-year marriage to Kitty Kelly was also without physical intimacy—Tipton told Kelly that a car crash had left the lower half of his body gravely and permanently injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What makes \u003cem>No Ordinary Man\u003c/em> truly extraordinary, however, is the way in which it uses Tipton’s story to explore the experiences of all trans men. It probes issues around identity, sexuality and a culture that has historically either erased trans men, or else treated them as an aberration. It analyzes the importance of media representation. And it even examines the inhumane medical neglect that, until fairly recently, trans people were consistently subjected to.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Billy Tipton was an \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3JAAxFYEws\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">accomplished jazz musician\u003c/a> and talent agent, a dedicated husband, and a father of three adopted sons. It was only after he died in 1989, at the age of 74, that his family, friends and fans found out that he had lived in a female body. The public outing that Tipton was subjected to after his death resulted in his being both publicly misgendered \u003cem>and\u003c/em> mis-characterized as a liar; his musical legacy was overshadowed by tabloid trash talk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, a new documentary written by \u003ca href=\"https://originalplumbing.bigcartel.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Original Plumbing\u003c/em>\u003c/a> co-founder \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/theamosmac\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Amos Mac\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/spectraversa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aisling Chin-Yee\u003c/a>—who co-directed the film with \u003ca href=\"https://www.chasejoynt.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chase Joynt\u003c/a>—seeks to undo that damage. And oh, how beautifully it succeeds. \u003cem>No Ordinary Man\u003c/em> is a moving and consistently thought-provoking tribute to an individual who lived as authentically and boldly as he could, at a time when trans men weren’t only without medical recourse, but weren’t even supposed to exist. “It’s scary,” Zackary Drucker poignantly notes in the film, “when centuries of your survival have been based on not being seen.”\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/sLS-Fq8Cbxw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/sLS-Fq8Cbxw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>Tipton’s life is explored in some depth, including his greatest triumphs—such as playing with jazz legends like Duke Ellington—and painful tragedies. Most devastatingly, Tipton refused to seek medical treatment for the ulcer that ultimately killed him, no doubt fearful of being discovered. His 18-year marriage to Kitty Kelly was also without physical intimacy—Tipton told Kelly that a car crash had left the lower half of his body gravely and permanently injured.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What makes \u003cem>No Ordinary Man\u003c/em> truly extraordinary, however, is the way in which it uses Tipton’s story to explore the experiences of all trans men. It probes issues around identity, sexuality and a culture that has historically either erased trans men, or else treated them as an aberration. It analyzes the importance of media representation. And it even examines the inhumane medical neglect that, until fairly recently, trans people were consistently subjected to. (“Trans people going into emergency rooms in the late 1980s,” Jamison Green explains, “were told, ‘We don’t treat people like you. We don’t understand your body.’”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I was raised by my grandmother. I was a second parent in my household. I feel like I have a lot of umph. And whatever I say I’m gonna do, I do it. That has a lot to do with my upbringing and how I was raised by very strong, powerful Black women. They instilled that in me… Very big energy. I’m outspoken. And you’re going to notice me and I feel like it’s for good reason that I’m that way. I feel like my purpose is to shed light on as many people as I possibly can and to bring love and to show people there’s a way to just truly and authentically be yourself. Just being me is literally helping other people just be them…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I started producing a queer fashion show called Limitless, which was to bring more representation in the fashion industry for queer people, trans people, black people, indigenous people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13887652\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13887652\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/IMG_2405-800x1200.jpeg\" alt=\"Yanni Brump walking the runway.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/IMG_2405-800x1200.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/IMG_2405-160x240.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/IMG_2405-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/IMG_2405.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yanni Brump walking the runway.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And I ran with that. I took it and I was like, this needs to be brought to so many other people… who need a place to feel like they’re them. Just a space to just exist and to be their whole self. So I started doing a day party, Drip Bay Area, which was for us to have a safe space, to come to a party, but also to just be together and feel safe in our space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then I’m working with Tik Tok. I just partnered with them to do a creative learning fund where I am basically doing videos, advice, tips on self care and self love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>PEN: I’m over here smiling because you just ooze with community passion. Like anybody who knows me knows that’s what I’m about. So, when you talk about self-love, what is your definition of it?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YANNI: Wow, OK. [laugh] Self-love is you accepting all of you wholeheartedly, unapologetically. It’s the way you look at yourself. It’s the way you think about yourself. It’s how tender you are with you, when you’re maybe not meeting your expectations. It’s how you show up for you. I’m still working on it, but I’m working on it…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expressing gratitude everyday, I would say, is like one of my top things, because the flow of abundance that comes from that is out of this world. I always feel like I’m living in a state of where I can give to other people, and every day is not going to be great. But being tender with yourself and being kind and speaking nice to yourself through it – it’s so much better on the other side. [laugh] It is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>PEN: Yeah. You are greener where you water your grass. But at one point, you were shy. How did you break out of being shy to being on TikTok and on the side of a building and then all the things that you mentioned?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YANNI: When I was younger, I would be considered what they would say “overweight.” I was bullied. I didn’t love myself. I didn’t really know who I was. I was in denial for a really long time about my gender and my sexuality. And I had an ex-partner of mine who was doing runway, and I was super inspired by her. And she took me to a casting. I didn’t want to go at first. But at the time, I identified as a woman and they were asking for masculine women to be in the show. And so I went on a whim and they made me walk in front of all these people. And I was like scared. But I did it. I did it. I kept doing it. And it and it starts to give me a sense of confidence. To just be me on a runway in front of all these people. Didn’t matter who was looking at me, what they thought about me. I was just able to be whatever version of myself that I chose to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13887654\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 750px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13887654\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/5ADA3D5F-925C-4974-B2AE-12E749958E74.jpeg\" alt=\"Yanni Brump\" width=\"750\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/5ADA3D5F-925C-4974-B2AE-12E749958E74.jpeg 750w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/5ADA3D5F-925C-4974-B2AE-12E749958E74-160x161.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yanni Brump\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Honestly, it felt like a portal or like me jumping into another version of myself. That was when I finally felt limitless in my life. I felt like I could do whatever I wanted to do. And I think it didn’t solely come down to me. I think that it had a lot to do with my ancestors who I feel chosen by. And I know that they saw something or enough in me to actually, like, live it out. And they rejoiced. And so much joy came in my heart and I’m actually here every day pushing to do it. And I know that that made them happy, too, because I could feel it like. And I and I know that I’m doing the right thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It feels great to be like, I’m in vogue! There is a black nonbinary person there existing and I’m unapologetic. There is a black non binary person there existing and I’m unapologetic. I have a fucking tattoo on my face. I have fucking tattoos all over my fucking body. I’m not going to sit here and conform to what you want for me. I’m gonna just fucking be me. Too many people died before me for me to stop. And to not be a part of the revolution. Like, no. I feel wonderful. So I just know that it’s possible because of. I’ve done it so far, which means that I could do all of it.

I was raised by my grandmother. I was a second parent in my household. I feel like I have a lot of umph. And whatever I say I’m gonna do, I do it. That has a lot to do with my upbringing and how I was raised by very strong, powerful Black women. They instilled that in me… Very big energy. I’m outspoken. And you’re going to notice me and I feel like it’s for good reason that I’m that way. I feel like my purpose is to shed light on as many people as I possibly can and to bring love and to show people there’s a way to just truly and authentically be yourself. Just being me is literally helping other people just be them…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I started producing a queer fashion show called Limitless, which was to bring more representation in the fashion industry for queer people, trans people, black people, indigenous people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13887652\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13887652\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/IMG_2405-800x1200.jpeg\" alt=\"Yanni Brump walking the runway.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/IMG_2405-800x1200.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/IMG_2405-160x240.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/IMG_2405-768x1152.jpeg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/IMG_2405.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yanni Brump walking the runway.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And I ran with that. I took it and I was like, this needs to be brought to so many other people… who need a place to feel like they’re them. Just a space to just exist and to be their whole self. So I started doing a day party, Drip Bay Area, which was for us to have a safe space, to come to a party, but also to just be together and feel safe in our space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then I’m working with Tik Tok. I just partnered with them to do a creative learning fund where I am basically doing videos, advice, tips on self care and self love.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>PEN: I’m over here smiling because you just ooze with community passion. Like anybody who knows me knows that’s what I’m about. So, when you talk about self-love, what is your definition of it?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YANNI: Wow, OK. [laugh] Self-love is you accepting all of you wholeheartedly, unapologetically. It’s the way you look at yourself. It’s the way you think about yourself. It’s how tender you are with you, when you’re maybe not meeting your expectations. It’s how you show up for you. I’m still working on it, but I’m working on it…\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Expressing gratitude everyday, I would say, is like one of my top things, because the flow of abundance that comes from that is out of this world. I always feel like I’m living in a state of where I can give to other people, and every day is not going to be great. But being tender with yourself and being kind and speaking nice to yourself through it – it’s so much better on the other side. [laugh] It is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>PEN: Yeah. You are greener where you water your grass. But at one point, you were shy. How did you break out of being shy to being on TikTok and on the side of a building and then all the things that you mentioned?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>YANNI: When I was younger, I would be considered what they would say “overweight.” I was bullied. I didn’t love myself. I didn’t really know who I was. I was in denial for a really long time about my gender and my sexuality. And I had an ex-partner of mine who was doing runway, and I was super inspired by her. And she took me to a casting. I didn’t want to go at first. But at the time, I identified as a woman and they were asking for masculine women to be in the show. And so I went on a whim and they made me walk in front of all these people. And I was like scared. But I did it. I did it. I kept doing it. And it and it starts to give me a sense of confidence. To just be me on a runway in front of all these people. Didn’t matter who was looking at me, what they thought about me. I was just able to be whatever version of myself that I chose to be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13887654\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 750px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13887654\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/5ADA3D5F-925C-4974-B2AE-12E749958E74.jpeg\" alt=\"Yanni Brump\" width=\"750\" height=\"755\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/5ADA3D5F-925C-4974-B2AE-12E749958E74.jpeg 750w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/10/5ADA3D5F-925C-4974-B2AE-12E749958E74-160x161.jpeg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yanni Brump\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Honestly, it felt like a portal or like me jumping into another version of myself. That was when I finally felt limitless in my life. I felt like I could do whatever I wanted to do. And I think it didn’t solely come down to me. I think that it had a lot to do with my ancestors who I feel chosen by. And I know that they saw something or enough in me to actually, like, live it out. And they rejoiced. And so much joy came in my heart and I’m actually here every day pushing to do it. And I know that that made them happy, too, because I could feel it like. And I and I know that I’m doing the right thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It feels great to be like, I’m in vogue! There is a black nonbinary person there existing and I’m unapologetic. There is a black non binary person there existing and I’m unapologetic. I have a fucking tattoo on my face. I have fucking tattoos all over my fucking body. I’m not going to sit here and conform to what you want for me. I’m gonna just fucking be me. Too many people died before me for me to stop. And to not be a part of the revolution. Like, no. I feel wonderful. So I just know that it’s possible because of. I’ve done it so far, which means that I could do all of it. And I’m going to keep doing it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12127869\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"78\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-400x39.jpg 400w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2016/09/Q.Logo_.Break_-768x75.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Rightnowish is an arts and culture podcast produced at KQED.

She’s the reason Dr. Alfred Kinsey’s landmark research into human sexual behavior included individuals living beyond the binary. And she never once stopped to take credit for any of it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her name was Louise Lawrence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Born in 1912, and despite having always enjoyed wearing feminine attire at home, Louise tried for the first 30 years of her life to embrace being “Lew,” a responsible and low key young man. She found work as a bank clerk at the age of 18, and married twice—first in her teens, then once more after the death of her first wife. It was only after her divorce that Lawrence fully embraced who she knew she was on the inside, and began living full-time as a woman. And she moved from Berkeley to San Francisco to do so. [aside postid='pop_102855']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unconsciously, she had been quietly preparing for this moment for years. Even while married, she regularly scoured newspapers for reports about public cross-dressing, and then reached out to the people who’d been arrested. In addition, she placed personal ads in the backs of magazines to find other trans and gender non-conforming people. Once in San Francisco, she made friends with drag performers at legendary North Beach club Finocchio’s, and later got involved with the city’s chapter of the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattachine_Society\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mattachine Society\u003c/a>—one of the earliest LGBT organizations in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such was her determination that, during a time when a great many trans and cross-dressing people felt obliged by law to live private lives, Lawrence saw fit to start lecturing doctors at UCSF, and assisting at its Langley Porter Clinic, with the goal of helping the medical profession understand that being transgender was not, in fact, a mental disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later, after \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Jorgensen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christine Jorgensen\u003c/a> underwent high profile gender reassignment surgery in Denmark in 1952, Lawrence was said to have \u003ca href=\"https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674013797\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">remarked\u003c/a>, “If only some of these American medical men could… not continually imagine that their own penis was removed when Christine’s was, maybe we would see some sound thoughtful, imaginative progress made in this field.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite her frustration at not being able to break down barriers to healthcare more quickly, her work at UCSF is what led her, in 1948, to first come into contact with Dr. Alfred Kinsey—at the time the focus of national uproar for his book, \u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Sexual-Behavior-Human-Alfred-Kinsey/dp/0253334128\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Sexual Behavior in the Human Male\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. By then, Lawrence had built a network of almost 200 other trans people across America and decided to share some of their stories with Kinsey. Gender variance, after all, had been glaringly absent from the sexologist’s landmark work. Lawrence didn’t just encourage Kinsey to include trans people in his 1953 follow-up—\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Sexual-Behavior-Female-Alfred-Kinsey/dp/025333411X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Sexual Behavior in the Human Female\u003c/em>\u003c/a>—she helped directly to facilitate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Joanne Meyerowitz’s paper, \u003ca href=\"https://www.jstor.org/stable/44445556?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Sex Research at the Borders of Gender: Transvestites, Transsexuals, and Alfred C. Kinsey\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Lawrence is quoted as saying:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In talking to Dr. Kinsey, I brought up… my interest in transvestism, and to my surprise he said that he thought the problem was relatively rare… I am very sure that it is much more common than most of us, even prominent doctors, are willing or able to admit. I was going to try and prove to [Kinsey] that I was right, and he encouraged me by saying that any facts or figures I could contribute would be valuable.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In the same paper, Lawrence also describes how she got her gender non-conforming friends to agree to interviews. “I try to point out the value of it, the sincerity of Dr. Kinsey, the complete anonymity,” she said, “as well as the personal pleasure they will get from the interview itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1950, Lawrence had become invaluable to Kinsey; he employed her to transcribe life histories, interviews and transvestite fiction that erred on the side of kink. Lawrence, in turn, provided Kinsey with trans stories and novels, as well as her own personal correspondence, diaries and \u003ca href=\"https://cooper.edu/art/news/gender-myths-exploded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scrapbooks\u003c/a> “filled with articles about same-sex couples living as man and woman.” Were it not for Lawrence’s contribution, it’s probable that “transexuals” would not have made it into Kinsey’s final works at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, she also worked directly with, and informed the work of, pioneering endocrinologist and sexologist \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Benjamin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harry Benjamin\u003c/a>, for whom she had an enormous amount of respect. Lawrence once \u003ca href=\"https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674013797\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">described Benjamin\u003c/a> as: “one of the few medical men in this country who has any understanding of this problem.” It was he that encouraged her, in 1951, to publish an article in the \u003cem>International Journal of Sexology\u003c/em> titled “Transvestism: An Empirical Study.” (As usual, Lawrence shied away from the spotlight, writing it under a pseudonym, Janet Thompson.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, for Lawrence, it wasn’t enough to merely reach the academics. In 1952, Lawrence co-founded the independent paper \u003cem>Transvestia—\u003c/em>most closely associated with \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Prince\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Virginia Prince\u003c/a>, who went on to edit it for over 20 years—with the aim of bringing wider “knowledge, acceptance [and] understanding” to the community. Importantly, it was Lawrence’s extensive network of LGBTQ+ people that raised enough money to get the publication off the ground in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13870059\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13870059\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-800x371.jpg\" alt=\"Covers of ‘Transvestia’ courtesy of the University of Victoria's Rikki Swin Collection.\" width=\"800\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-800x371.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-160x74.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-768x356.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-1020x473.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-1200x557.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-1920x891.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Covers of ‘Transvestia’ courtesy of the University of Victoria’s Rikki Swin Collection.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the short documentary \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQwS7LqfJys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Safety in Numbers: A Trans History\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Aaron Devor, chair of Transgender Studies at the University of Victoria, explains: “\u003cem>Transvestia\u003c/em> became a lifeline for people to communicate with each other, to learn that there were others like them.

In addition, she placed personal ads in the backs of magazines to find other trans and gender non-conforming people. Once in San Francisco, she made friends with drag performers at legendary North Beach club Finocchio’s, and later got involved with the city’s chapter of the \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mattachine_Society\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mattachine Society\u003c/a>—one of the earliest LGBT organizations in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such was her determination that, during a time when a great many trans and cross-dressing people felt obliged by law to live private lives, Lawrence saw fit to start lecturing doctors at UCSF, and assisting at its Langley Porter Clinic, with the goal of helping the medical profession understand that being transgender was not, in fact, a mental disorder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

By then, Lawrence had built a network of almost 200 other trans people across America and decided to share some of their stories with Kinsey. Gender variance, after all, had been glaringly absent from the sexologist’s landmark work. Lawrence didn’t just encourage Kinsey to include trans people in his 1953 follow-up—\u003ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Sexual-Behavior-Female-Alfred-Kinsey/dp/025333411X\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Sexual Behavior in the Human Female\u003c/em>\u003c/a>—she helped directly to facilitate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Joanne Meyerowitz’s paper, \u003ca href=\"https://www.jstor.org/stable/44445556?seq=1#metadata_info_tab_contents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Sex Research at the Borders of Gender: Transvestites, Transsexuals, and Alfred C. Kinsey\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Lawrence is quoted as saying:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In talking to Dr. Kinsey, I brought up… my interest in transvestism, and to my surprise he said that he thought the problem was relatively rare… I am very sure that it is much more common than most of us, even prominent doctors, are willing or able to admit. I was going to try and prove to [Kinsey] that I was right, and he encouraged me by saying that any facts or figures I could contribute would be valuable.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In the same paper, Lawrence also describes how she got her gender non-conforming friends to agree to interviews. “I try to point out the value of it, the sincerity of Dr. Kinsey, the complete anonymity,” she said, “as well as the personal pleasure they will get from the interview itself.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1950, Lawrence had become invaluable to Kinsey; he employed her to transcribe life histories, interviews and transvestite fiction that erred on the side of kink. Lawrence, in turn, provided Kinsey with trans stories and novels, as well as her own personal correspondence, diaries and \u003ca href=\"https://cooper.edu/art/news/gender-myths-exploded\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">scrapbooks\u003c/a> “filled with articles about same-sex couples living as man and woman.” Were it not for Lawrence’s contribution, it’s probable that “transexuals” would not have made it into Kinsey’s final works at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition, she also worked directly with, and informed the work of, pioneering endocrinologist and sexologist \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Benjamin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harry Benjamin\u003c/a>, for whom she had an enormous amount of respect. Lawrence once \u003ca href=\"https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674013797\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">described Benjamin\u003c/a> as: “one of the few medical men in this country who has any understanding of this problem.” It was he that encouraged her, in 1951, to publish an article in the \u003cem>International Journal of Sexology\u003c/em> titled “Transvestism: An Empirical Study.” (As usual, Lawrence shied away from the spotlight, writing it under a pseudonym, Janet Thompson.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, for Lawrence, it wasn’t enough to merely reach the academics. In 1952, Lawrence co-founded the independent paper \u003cem>Transvestia—\u003c/em>most closely associated with \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Prince\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Virginia Prince\u003c/a>, who went on to edit it for over 20 years—with the aim of bringing wider “knowledge, acceptance [and] understanding” to the community. Importantly, it was Lawrence’s extensive network of LGBTQ+ people that raised enough money to get the publication off the ground in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13870059\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13870059\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-800x371.jpg\" alt=\"Covers of ‘Transvestia’ courtesy of the University of Victoria's Rikki Swin Collection.\" width=\"800\" height=\"371\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-800x371.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-160x74.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-768x356.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-1020x473.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-1200x557.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2019/11/transvestia-collage-1920x891.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Covers of ‘Transvestia’ courtesy of the University of Victoria’s Rikki Swin Collection.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the short documentary \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQwS7LqfJys\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cem>Safety in Numbers: A Trans History\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, Aaron Devor, chair of Transgender Studies at the University of Victoria, explains: “\u003cem>Transvestia\u003c/em> became a lifeline for people to communicate with each other, to learn that there were others like them.

"title": "Andrea Long Chu Conjures the Spirit of Valerie Solanas For Provocative 'Females'",
"headTitle": "Andrea Long Chu Conjures the Spirit of Valerie Solanas For Provocative ‘Females’ | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>Simone de Beauvoir famously wrote that “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman,” a claim I could imagine making writer and critic Andrea Long Chu roll her eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the very least, Chu has an update: “Everyone is female,” she writes in the appropriately titled \u003cem>Females, \u003c/em>her first book, “and everyone hates it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chu has earned a reputation over the past few years as one of the sharpest new thinkers on gender and sexuality with her essays on, among other topics, transgender identity, feminism and television. (She has also picked up a rather loyal following \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/theorygurl\">on Twitter\u003c/a>, where she treats her mental health, PhD candidature and pop-culture diet all with equal wit and consideration.) In \u003cem>Females\u003c/em>—part memoir, part theoretical intervention—Chu explores and defends this claim about universal femaleness, perhaps as much to herself as to anyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, the “female” identity on which the book is based is admittedly less a biological condition than an existential one. Chu describes it as an experience “defined by self-negation” that includes “any psychic operation in which the self is sacrificed to make room for the desires of another.” In other words, to be female—which, remember, we all are—is to not express your own desires, identity, personality but rather those of others, impressed upon you. And gender, it follows for Chu, is what people do to deal with the terrible fact of being female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that sounds dramatic or provocative, that’s largely Chu’s style. In 2018, she wrote a \u003ca href=\"https://nplusonemag.com/issue-30/essays/on-liking-women/\">powerful essay\u003c/a> in the magazine \u003cem>n+1\u003c/em> about transness and the history of feminist organizing that theorist Sandy Stone credited with launching a “second wave” of transgender studies; later that year, Chu wrote an \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/24/opinion/sunday/vaginoplasty-transgender-medicine.html\">opinion piece\u003c/a> for \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> about transgender people’s rights to medical care. In both cases—and in much of her writing—Chu meticulously frames the popular debate about transgender people, then positions her own point of view on another plane entirely. She’s just as bored by those known colloquially as trans-exclusionary radical feminists, or TERFs, who deny transgender people’s identities outright as she is by the common refrain that transgender people are simply “born in the wrong body” (as when Caitlyn Jenner joked to Diane Sawyer that God gave her “the soul of a woman”). At a moment when society is largely starting to gain a vocabulary for talking, albeit in less-than-nuanced ways, about transgender civil rights, Chu’s refusal to support any mainstream narratives have made her a somewhat controversial figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she simply isn’t interested in straightforward, respectable answers. What most of these narratives don’t account for, she argues in \u003cem>Females\u003c/em>, is desire, in all its messy, definitional power. Chu asks: Instead of something stable and inherent—known and knowable, and inescapable right down to our very souls—what if gender is an extension of who we \u003cem>want\u003c/em> to be? What if this quality of \u003cem>wanting\u003c/em> didn’t separate transgender people from cisgender people, but were instead a universal condition of gender itself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chu writes ferociously and exactingly about the nature of desire: what it makes us do; who it makes us become; grounding these questions in the culture of everyday life. Desire is how \u003cem>Fight Club\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Matrix\u003c/em> get twisted in the hands of the internet “manosphere” into models of male supremacy; it’s what lies beneath feminist disagreements about pornography from the ’90s and why they play out today both in the alt-right and in Hollywood movies; it’s there in the scrupulous beauty routines of a famous trans YouTuber. “Most desire is nonconsensual,” she admits in a chapter of \u003cem>Females\u003c/em> about pornography, and all the ways we try to engage with it—hide from it, ignore it, indulge it—indelibly shape us. Desire, for Chu, is gender’s centrifugal force; it’s what makes us all so \u003cem>female\u003c/em> to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chu puts these cultural products in conversation with the work of revered theorists: Sigmund Freud; Catharine MacKinnon; Andrea Dworkin; and Shulamith Firestone. But no one is so close to Chu’s heart in \u003cem>Females\u003c/em> as Valerie Solanas, the author and artist famous for writing the \u003cem>SCUM Manifesto\u003c/em>, a radical text bent on eliminating the male sex (and for shooting and nearly killing Andy Warhol in 1968). \u003cem>Females\u003c/em> started as an essay about Solanas’ play \u003cem>Up Your A–\u003c/em>—which Solanas hoped, desperately and unsuccessfully, that Warhol would produce—and lines from the play anchor each chapter. Solanas didn’t just give Chu an entrypoint into her first book; it was after encountering Solanas’ work, Chu writes, that she began to come to terms with being transgender. (At the end of one chapter, she reflects on being told about a pornographic video in which two characters are seduced by a professor who reads \u003cem>SCUM\u003c/em>, “turning them into lesbians.” Chu says the plotline “made instant, perfect sense. It’s what Valerie did to me.”)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solanas is often written off as an extremist, or an unfortunate and problematic accident of the second wave—but it’s heartening to watch Chu take her seriously, taking her to task while looking at her legacy with generosity and scrutiny. If Chu knows that \u003cem>Females\u003c/em>‘ central organizing thesis is wildly untenable, it’s in Solanas’ spirit that she pursues it nonetheless. “Valerie would make statements not because they were accurate or true, but simply because she wanted to,” Chu writes; later, “We share this, I think: a preference for indefensible claims, for following our ambivalence to the end.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, \u003cem>Females\u003c/em> is not a polemic; it’s not a guide to escaping the tyranny of our supposed powerlessness in the face of desire. Instead, it is one woman’s attempt to make sense of a time when the possibilities for identity feel terrifying and punishingly limitless, wondering what it might look like to accept our inescapable femaleness—even if we don’t always play by its rules, Chu argues, it might help to know how the points are scored. Beneath the veneer of \u003cem>Females\u003c/em>‘ provocation, those indefensible ideas, it is a surprisingly tender book that aims to tend to a universal ache: the frayed knot of selfhood, desire and power through which, Chu argues, we might try to see ourselves and each other more clearly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2019 NPR.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003cp>Simone de Beauvoir famously wrote that “one is not born, but rather becomes, a woman,” a claim I could imagine making writer and critic Andrea Long Chu roll her eyes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the very least, Chu has an update: “Everyone is female,” she writes in the appropriately titled \u003cem>Females, \u003c/em>her first book, “and everyone hates it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chu has earned a reputation over the past few years as one of the sharpest new thinkers on gender and sexuality with her essays on, among other topics, transgender identity, feminism and television. (She has also picked up a rather loyal following \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/theorygurl\">on Twitter\u003c/a>, where she treats her mental health, PhD candidature and pop-culture diet all with equal wit and consideration.) In \u003cem>Females\u003c/em>—part memoir, part theoretical intervention—Chu explores and defends this claim about universal femaleness, perhaps as much to herself as to anyone else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, the “female” identity on which the book is based is admittedly less a biological condition than an existential one. Chu describes it as an experience “defined by self-negation” that includes “any psychic operation in which the self is sacrificed to make room for the desires of another.” In other words, to be female—which, remember, we all are—is to not express your own desires, identity, personality but rather those of others, impressed upon you. And gender, it follows for Chu, is what people do to deal with the terrible fact of being female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If that sounds dramatic or provocative, that’s largely Chu’s style. In 2018, she wrote a \u003ca href=\"https://nplusonemag.com/issue-30/essays/on-liking-women/\">powerful essay\u003c/a> in the magazine \u003cem>n+1\u003c/em> about transness and the history of feminist organizing that theorist Sandy Stone credited with launching a “second wave” of transgender studies; later that year, Chu wrote an \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2018/11/24/opinion/sunday/vaginoplasty-transgender-medicine.html\">opinion piece\u003c/a> for \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> about transgender people’s rights to medical care. In both cases—and in much of her writing—Chu meticulously frames the popular debate about transgender people, then positions her own point of view on another plane entirely. She’s just as bored by those known colloquially as trans-exclusionary radical feminists, or TERFs, who deny transgender people’s identities outright as she is by the common refrain that transgender people are simply “born in the wrong body” (as when Caitlyn Jenner joked to Diane Sawyer that God gave her “the soul of a woman”). At a moment when society is largely starting to gain a vocabulary for talking, albeit in less-than-nuanced ways, about transgender civil rights, Chu’s refusal to support any mainstream narratives have made her a somewhat controversial figure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

What most of these narratives don’t account for, she argues in \u003cem>Females\u003c/em>, is desire, in all its messy, definitional power. Chu asks: Instead of something stable and inherent—known and knowable, and inescapable right down to our very souls—what if gender is an extension of who we \u003cem>want\u003c/em> to be? What if this quality of \u003cem>wanting\u003c/em> didn’t separate transgender people from cisgender people, but were instead a universal condition of gender itself?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chu writes ferociously and exactingly about the nature of desire: what it makes us do; who it makes us become; grounding these questions in the culture of everyday life. Desire is how \u003cem>Fight Club\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The Matrix\u003c/em> get twisted in the hands of the internet “manosphere” into models of male supremacy; it’s what lies beneath feminist disagreements about pornography from the ’90s and why they play out today both in the alt-right and in Hollywood movies; it’s there in the scrupulous beauty routines of a famous trans YouTuber. “Most desire is nonconsensual,” she admits in a chapter of \u003cem>Females\u003c/em> about pornography, and all the ways we try to engage with it—hide from it, ignore it, indulge it—indelibly shape us.
