    Sir: Just a Normal Guy a film by Melanie LaRosa "One of the most provocative films this year.” Gary Morris Bay Area Reporter Women Make Movies · 462 Broadway, 5th Floor · New York, NY 10013 Tel: 212.925.0606 · e-mail: [email protected] · www.wmm.com Sir: Just a Normal Guy Synopsis Screened to acclaim at Gay & Lesbian Film Festivals worldwide and LBGT events across the nation, this candid and courageous portrait of more than 15-months in the female-to-male (FTM) transition of Jay Snider explores both the emotional and physical changes of this profound experience--beginning prior to hormones and concluding after top surgery. Footage shot before and after the surgery captures dramatic physical transitions, while intimate interviews with Jay, his ex-husband, his best friend and his lesbian-identified partner aptly capture the emotional and psychological shifts that occur during the process. With support from those closest to him, Jay’s experience is remarkably positive, though not without conflict. During the course of the film, he renews long-distant ties with his brother, but also faces permanent estrangement from his parents. SIR: JUST A NORMAL GUY is an in-depth and humanizing exploration of the challenges, discrimination, and alienation faced by transsexuals. Jay’s conflicted feelings around queer identification are portrayed along with his significant other’s continued identification as lesbian. A much-needed look at FTM transition, the film demonstrates both the fluidity of sexual identification and that love and human resilience can triumph over deep-rooted differences.

  • May2019 - Volume 26 Issue 5
    ​Lavender Notes Improving the lives of LGBTQ older adults Volunteer through community building, education, and advocacy. Donate with PayPal Celebrating 24+ years of service and positive change May2019 - Volume 26 Issue 5 Windsor Young Imagine being a closeted lesbian, newly-promoted to Air Force Staff Sergeant, being transferred to Japan during the 1960s and being told your new assignment includes “purging” unwanted lesbians and gay men from the military! That would qualify as much more than a conundrum – a personal dilemma of the fourth order. Such was one of the life-changing moments for this month’s “Stories of Our Lives” subject, Windsor Young. Born at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut, on 20th September 1943, Windsor was the fifth of her father’s children and the second of her mother’s – ultimately the older sister to a two-years-younger brother who shared the same parents with her. Unfortunately, he died of an overdose in the early 1990s at the age of 46. “I had what would have to be called a fairly horrible childhood,” Windsor recalls. “My father was an alcoholic – and a very mean one, a man with a Jekyll and Hyde personality. He beat my mother constantly, particularly when he’d been drinking and became a monster. She finally got tired of that when I was about eight years old and took me and my brother from Connecticut to the Chicago area. Unfortunately, she let him know where we were; he followed us there and started beating her again!” By the time she was 16, Windsor took a strong stand with her mother.

  • Development, Sexual Rights and Global Governance
    4 The World Bank’s GLOBE Queers in/queering development Andil Gosine In fall 1992, draft versions of a proposed anti-harassment policy were being circu- lated at headquarters of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development – the World Bank – at 1818 H Street in Washington DC. One section caught the attention of Hans Binswanger, then a senior agricultural economist at the Bank. “I was surprised to see it offered protection from harassment on the grounds of sexual orientation,” he recalls (2006). The reference to sexuality survived subsequent revi- sions, and was included in the Bank’s “Policy on Eradicating Harassment.”1 Binswanger anticipated an “en masse coming out” by gay and lesbian staff at the Bank would soon follow. “I thought that with the policy there was no more reason for people to hide their sexualities,” he remembers, “but this didn’t happen. Almost nobody came out; most stayed in the closet” (2006). Determined to seize upon the opportunity afforded by the policy, he decided to take steps toward the formation of a staff association. A gay couple employed at the Bank offered their home for a first meeting, and after overcoming efforts by some of their (presumably heterosexual) colleagues to stop the gathering,2 60 men and women came together at a private residence in January 1993 and founded GLOBE, the Gay, Lesbian or Bisexual Employees staff association of the World Bank Group. By 2005, GLOBE had 165 paid members, up from 146 in 2003 and 122 in 2001. The group continues its work “to advance the fundamental principle of non- discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation” by: holding regular business meetings, social gatherings and film showings; encouraging Bank management to adopt administrative policies that treat gays, lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders equitably (e.g.

  • Some Ground to Stand On
    PRESS KIT SOME GROUND TO STAND ON 1998, 35 minutes, Color, Video This compelling and beautifully made documentary tells the life story of Blue Lunden, a working class lesbian activist whose odyssey of personal transformation parallels lesbian women's changing roles over the past 40 years. Starting with Blue's experience of being run out of town after her arrest in the 1950's New Orleans bar scene for wearing men's clothing, Some Ground to Stand On combines interviews, rare photos and archival footage to trace her life: giving up her child for adoption and getting her back; becoming sober; and coming into her own as a lesbian rights feminist, and anti-nuclear activist and lecturer. Now 61, Blue continues to be an activist as she reflects on aging, activism and a personal and generational struggle for "some ground to stand on" - a lesbian identity and consciousness rooted in community. • Washington DC Gay & Lesbian Film Festival— Audience Award • Black Maria Film Festival— Director's Choice Award • National Education Media Awards Festival— Bronze Apple Award • Reel Affirmations— Audience Choice Award • New York, San Francisco, London and Philadelphia Lesbian & Gay Film Festivals • New Orleans Film Festival • Rocky Mountain Women's Film Festival • Silver Image Festival • Reel NY— Channel Thirteen "The story of an astoundingly brave and persistent woman…it is the story of four decades of passionate engagement.

Will you act to ensure that the District provides transgender-inclusive health insurance to all D.C. Government employees, to include coverage for sex affirmation surgery (also known as sex reassignment surgery)? As Mayor I will seek to increase all options for how District government employees can choose to use their own healthcare dollars, including increasing insurance options and reducing barriers to entry for insurance companies. I would oppose attempts by any level of government to tell D.C. government employees (or anyone else) what treatments or procedures they can pursue. I would not allow the government to define which reconstructive or cosmetic options are approved and which not, but would instead respect consumer sovereignty. I would oppose a precedent of having the D.C. government design a one size fits all health care plan or insurance policy for all D.C. employees. 2. Will you submit budgets that target funds to address health disparities in the LGBT population, including in mental health and substance abuse treatment? I would ensure that funds budgeted for any area do not exclude or discriminate against any population. I would seek to allow each individual more choice in how they use the funds budgeted. Ideally where possible people eligible for these programs would have something like an EBT card or voucher and be able to choose their own care provider.
