It’s not ignoring the enormity of the task ahead or the roadblocks that stand in our path. It’s not sitting on the sidelines or shirking from a fight. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it. Hope is the be- lief that destiny will not be written for us, but by us, by the men and women who are not content to settle for the world as it is, who have the courage to remake the world as it should be.” Barack Obama x Dedication This book is for many, but especially for Alice Emilia and Stephen Mark. May this bring you a sense of peace and acceptance. I have conceived a love for you. xi Introduction “In each of us two powers preside, one male, one fe- male,” Virginia Woolf wrote in her sublime meditation on gender, asserting that “the androgynous mind is resonant and porous… naturally creative, incandescent and undivided.” But although the line between where the mind ends and the body begins is ever-shifting, we often draw an artificial demarcation and end up divided within and among ourselves.” Nowhere more so than in the plight of transgender people. Brain Pickings I make no excuses for what is written. I am a philoso- pher, teacher, and writer by education, an intuitive and healer by nature. I have chosen not to go the Newton route seeing humanity as a mechanism, but rather as a consciousness system with biological and mathemati- cal implications, I have tried to eliminate as many tech- nical and scientific terms as possible. Some of what I have written is simply the result of what I have learned in my life, the rest is what has been gathered from research, reading, and conversations. I have tried to be as global as possible in the informa- tion presented. I feel it is important to show the univer- sality and history of the concept of non-binary gender and homosexuality. The Kinsey Reports probably opened up our look on sexuality or a least awareness of ideas generally kept xii hidden from the general public. Unfortunately his in- vestigations included pedophilia, obligating staff to have sexual experiences, and drawing conclusions without any real investigations. In reading some of the history of his work it occurred to me that perhaps some of the conservative push against homosexuality might be the pendulum swinging back. His ideas on rape, pedophilia, and relationships are abhorrent to me. The fact that anyone would use a child to study sexuality is criminal and not far off from the reasoning used by Mengel in his experiments on children during the holocaust. Why he, Kinsey, was not arrested is beyond me. Pedophilia and rape are not consensual and are about power and control. Psychology has shown that these neither has anything to do with sexual desire as consenting adults expe- rience. Yes, a child or any person who is raped may be aroused physically. The arousal is a natural reaction to having gentiles being rubbed. Arousal can occur in many ways in adults. Unfortunately women and men who are raped feel guilt and shame because of the arousal. The ideas I have expressed on sexuality, or- gasm, and love are based on consenting adults. With the advent of the Internet we are exposed to a lot of hype and false causer claims. Research done without the proper scientific guidelines and controls produces 1 results are not always the true or legitimate causer/ outcomes. Without knowing how conclusions are gath- ered, by true syllogistic methods, we have no way of knowing the truth. Research must be done according to true scientific principle. This includes a demographic of control and none control groups, size of group, dura- tion, and the list can go on-and-on. An example of this is a recent report that drinking a diet drink increases death by 17% over the regular soda drinkers. Nothing was stated as to why those in the control groups choose diet soda. Were they diabetic, have heart disease, or tying to over come morbid obesity? Any which could have contributed to an early demise. Did they all drink the same brand of soda? A list of unanswered questions that could have drawn us to a different conclusion. Unfortunately many times information is based on incomplete or false premises. This system of false rea- soning has been used on the Western World since the end of the 19th Century. Newspapers, media reporters, and politicians all use it to convince us they are right. The system draws you to the conclusion they want you to have. Unfortunately this becomes your working par- adigm. An example I use with students is All lawyers are crooks, Jim is a Lawyer.

  • Need of Third Gender Justice in Indian Society
    IJRESS Volume 2, Issue 12 (December 2012) ISSN: 2249-7382 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND AND LEGAL STATUS OF THIRD GENDER IN INDIAN SOCIETY Preeti Sharma* ABSTRACT The terms third gender and third sex describe individuals who are categorized as neither man or woman as well as the social category present in those societies who recognize three or more genders. To different cultures or individuals, a third gender or six may represent an intermediate state between men and women, a state of being both. The term has been used to describe hizras of India, Bangladesh and Pakistan who have gained legal identity, Fa'afafine of Polynesia, and Sworn virgins of the Balkans, among others, and is also used by many of such groups and individuals to describe themselves like the hizra, the third gender is in many cultures made up of biological males who takes on a feminine gender or sexual role. Disowned by their families in their childhood and ridiculed and abused by everyone as ''hijra'' or third sex, eunuchs earn their livelihood by dancing at the beat of drums and often resort to obscene postures but their pain and agony is not generally noticed and this demand is just a reminder of how helpless and neglected this section of society is. Thousands of welfare schemes have been launched by the government but these are only for men and women and third sex do not figure anywhere and this demand only showed mirror to society. The Constitution gives rights on the basis of citizenship and on the grounds of gender but the gross discrimination on the part of our legislature is evident.

  • LOVER OR CHASER: EXPLORING TRANS-FETISHIZATION in COMMITTED RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CISGENDER MEN and TRANSGENDER WOMEN by Jet S
    LOVER OR CHASER: EXPLORING TRANS-FETISHIZATION IN COMMITTED RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN CISGENDER MEN AND TRANSGENDER WOMEN By Jet S. Evangelista Submitted to Central European University Department of Gender Studies In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender Studies Supervisor: Dr. Erzsébet Barát Second Reader: Dr. Marianna Szczygielska Budapest, Hungary 2018 CEU eTD Collection Abstract Cisgender men have increasingly come out with stories about their intimate relationships with transgender women. However, studies on relationships between cis and trans persons have argued that trans women are critical of trans-attracted cis men. This comes from the accusation that many cisgender men fetishize transgender women. Trans-fetishization is used in this study as the fetishizing of trans women by cis men who overvalue the trans women’s transness. The exploration of trans-fetishization is done in context of committed relationships between cis men and trans women, and highlights the perspectives of cis men in the relationships. Through an analysis of the accounts shared by Filipino men in a voiced online interview, the author analyzes how fetishism may be explored in (1) the men’s motivations for entering a committed relationship, (2) their concept of an ideal woman, (3) the strategies they employ to maintain high-level of commitment, (4) and their compliance or resistance to hegemonic masculinity. The analysis reveals that men commit to relationships based on the reasons, sometimes overlapping, of material benefits, need for companionship, and the desire to move on from the dating phase by formalizing the relationship. Transness has not been a major factor and therefore, trans-fetishization cannot be accused in this context.

  • Violence Against Lesbians, Bisexual Women, and Trans People in the Philippines
    Violence against Lesbians, Bisexual Women, and Trans People in the Philippines Submitted to the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women Annual Communications Procedure August 1, 2015 Presented by: International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission Introduction The International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission (IGLHRC) is a non-governmental organization in special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council. IGLHRC works with activists throughout the world to advocate to end discrimination and abuse on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, and/or gender expression (SOGIE). IGLHRC is submitting this communication, along with six others, to the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW) through its annual communications procedure. IGLHRC strongly urges the CSW to identify violence against lesbians, bisexual women, and trans individuals (LBT) people as an emerging trend and formulate appropriate policy responses. In May 2014, IGLHRC’s Asia and the Pacific Islands Program released a report, Violence: Through the Lens of Lesbians, Bisexual Women, and Trans People in Asia (The IGLHRC Asia report). A product of over two years of research by regional women’s, gender, and sexual rights activists and over 370 interviews with LBT people and stakeholders, the report documents and examines violence directed towards LBT people in Japan, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka. A copy of the full report is available at this link: http://iglhrc.org/sites/iglhrc.org/files/LBT_ForUpload0614.pdf. From March 2011 to February 2012, The Rainbow Rights Project Philippines (R- Rights), a Manila-based LGBT legal advocacy organization, interviewed 59 LBT people in the Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao island groups to document their experiences with violence.
