This business grew to annual revenues of US$20,000,000 and, in 1999, she sold the business. Using the resources available to her, she founded the Rikki Swin Institute (RSI) in 2001. Rikki Swin has lived in Victoria, BC, Canada, and currently resides on San Juan Island, Washington, USA. Her volunteerism has included work with the Land Conservancy of BC, Coats for Kids, PEERS [Prostitutes Empowerment Education and Resources Society], the Victoria Conservatory of Music, and the Art in Bloom Committee of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Archival description / Scope and Contents The fonds is comprised of the following series: administrative records, conference and convention materials, correspondence, newspaper clippings, reports and research materials. Research material includes approximately 300 completed RSI Transperson Surveys. *** Ari Kane fonds Archival description / Biographical Sketch Ari Kane, also known as Ariadne Kane, was born Joseph DeMaios in New York on 12 January 1936. He was educated at Public School No. 75, Prospect Junior High, and Stuyvesant High School. In 1958 he received a Bachelor of Science in Biophysics, Mathematics and Chemistry at City College, New York., and undertook graduate work in biophysics at New York University and University of Buffalo. Ari Kane holds a doctorate of Education from Institute for Advanced Study of Sexuality and is an assistant professor of sexology at the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco. He also runs Theseus Counseling Services which specializes in gender issues. Joseph DeMaios worked for many years as a Math and Physics teacher. In 1966 he moved to Europe, where he taught at St. Stephen’s School in Rome, from 1966-67, and at the American College of Switzerland in Leysin, from 1967-68. He moved from teaching to curriculum design and implementation, working in 1968 and 1969 for Educational Technical Services in Rome, developing curriculum for teaching conversation and translation of English. After his return to the United States, he started his own educational consulting business, Educational Dynamics in 1970. Educational Dynamics offered services in the areas of facilities, planning, curriculum development, educational media and international education. From 1971 to 1975 he held a variety of teaching positions, and developed curriculum for technical courses including “How to prepare cosmetics in the Home” for cosmetology students. He also worked for Aquarius Travel, on design and 3 implementation of a travel education program. He then created his own travel and adventure business, Explorers “A” Travel, specializing in guided historical and cultural tours in a number of countries. After his return to the United States that Joseph DeMaios began to look for others who were interested in crossdressing. He found a support group for crossdressers in the Greater Boston area and began to feel more confident about his cross-dressing; “Ariadne Kane” was born. Kane’s “emergence from the closet” occurred in 1971. Eventually DeMaios was able to tell his fiancée about his crossdressing, and married Norma Baldani in June 1973. Ariadne Kane oversaw the restructuring and relocation of the support group, which was renamed the Tiffany Club (later the Cherrystone Club, then the Mayflower Club). In 1975 she founded the Human Outreach and Achievement Institute, an organization dedicated to public education and to working with the health professionals who serve the community. In the early 1980s it was renamed the Outreach Institute for Gender Studies (OIGS) and its Board of Directors was established. The purpose of OIGS is “to advance the understanding of gender identity and role development with a special focus on alternative gender lifestyles.” OIGS published the Outreach Newsletter and the Journal of Gender Studies (1991-1995), and provides educational materials to the public, to TV/TS individuals and groups, and to medical professionals. Kane also founded Fantasia Fair, an annual gathering of cross-dressing men, their partners, and medical and other professionals working with the transgender and transsexual community. Still an annual event, the first Fantasia Fair was held in 1975 . It was organized by OIGS until 2002. Kane also founded the Outreach Professional Evaluation and Referral Network (OPERN), an intake, evaluation, referral and counseling service for people with gender issues. She appeared on The Phil Donohue Show in January 1980. In 1989, Kane became the third recipient of the International Foundation for Gender Education’s Dr. Virginia Prince Award. Since the late 1970s, Ari Kane has used a number of different names and both male and female gender pronouns in his personal life, activist work, publishing and employment. As well as his birth name, Joseph DeMaios, he has been known variously as J. Ari Kane-Demaios, Ariadne Kane, Ariadne Maria Kane and Dr Ari Kane. Archival description / Scope and Contents The fonds is comprised of following series: Ari Kane/Joseph DeMaios records consisting of business records, correspondence, identity and travel documents, and teaching records; Outreach Institute Records consisting of administrative records, correspondence, published resources, and workshop information; Fantasia Fair records consisting of advertising information, correspondence, event materials, planning and registration records; and Theseus Counselling Services records consisting of administrative records, correspondence, counselling resources and case files. *** 4 International Foundation for Gender Education (IFGE) fonds Archival description / Administrative History The International Foundation for Gender Education (IFGE) is a non-profit advocacy organization founded in November 1986 by Merissa Sherill Lynn. It was established to promote understanding of transvestitism and transsexualism. The IFGE developed out of an earlier organization, the Tiffany Club, which was officially

Aizura New York: Routledge, 2013. 694 pp. For the past decade or so, ‘‘emergent’’ has often appeared alongside ‘‘transgender studies’’ to describe a growing scholarly field. As of 2014, transgender studies can boast several conferences, a number of edited collections and thematic journal issues, courses in some college curricula, and—with this inaugural issue of TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly—an academic journal with a premier university press. But while the scholarly trope of emergence conjures the cutting edge, it can also be an infantilizing temporality that communicates (and con- tributes to) perpetual marginalization. An emergent field is always on the verge of becoming, but it may never arrive. The recent publication of several new edited collections and special issues of journals dedicated to transgender studies makes manifest the arrival of a vibrant, TSQ: Transgender Studies Quarterly * Volume 1, Numbers 1–2 * May 2014 285 DOI 10.1215/23289252-2399461 ª 2014 Duke University Press Downloaded from http://read.dukeupress.edu/tsq/article-pdf/1/1-2/285/485795/285.pdf by guest on 02 October 2021 286 TSQ * Transgender Studies Quarterly diverse, and flourishing interdisciplinary field.

    Fantasia Fair Returns To Provincetown This year, Fantasia Fair will mark it's 25 th Anniversary. Provincetown has graciously hosted Fantasia Fair over each of those 25years. The acceptance and welcoming spirit of the Provincetown area residents and merchants have created an atmosphere where Fair attendees have always felt comfortable to express themselves freely. An annual autumn ritual in Provincetown for 25 years, Fantasia Fair has become a standard within the transgender community. It is the grandmother-so to speak-of all transgender events. And, so, most folks Provincetown are aware that Fantasia Fair is held each October in Provincetown. But not everyone is aware of how it has been evolving to meet the needs of today's transgender community. Along with the exciting list of special events that one would expect as part of a 25th anniversary celebration, organizers have designed this year's Fair to do more than celebrate the past. A serious effort is being exerted to extend the Fair's appeal to a broader range of participants and to make it more financially accessible. For the first time, participants are not being restricted to the "all or nothing at all" registration policy that was in place during past Fairs. This year, if they choose, attendees can register for individual days and they are free to make their own lodging arrangements to best suit their needs and their budget. This new flexibility in registration and housing is particularly appealing to those who, for whatever reasons, are not able to commit to an entire week's registration, but who are available for certain days.

  • A Photo Essay of Transgender Community in the United States
    Sexuality Research & Social Policy Journal of NSRC http://nsrc.sfsu.edu December 2007 Vol. 4, No. 4 Momentum: A Photo Essay of the Transgender Community in the United States Over 30 Years, 1978–2007 Mariette Pathy Allen As a photographer, writer, advocate, and ally of the Figure 1. Vicky West (in center of photograph) at the transgender community, I have presented slide shows at hotel swimming pool, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1978. a variety of conferences during the past 30 years. I have varied the slide shows according to the audience and, to challenge myself, asked various questions about my art. What fresh visual connections can I make? How do my newest images relate to earlier series? Shall I focus on indi- vidual heroes and heroines—community leaders—or on dramatic historical events that galvanized people to rethink their lives and demand policy changes? Is it appro- priate to show body images and surgery? Should I focus on youth and relationships? What about speaking of my life as an artist and how it connects to the transgender community? Long before I knowingly met a transgender person, I pondered such questions as, Why are certain character traits assigned to men or to women? and Are these traits in different directions except for one person, Vicky West, immutable or culturally defined? My cultural anthropol- who focused straight back at me. As I peered through the ogy studies offered some theories, but it was not until camera lens, I had the feeling that I was looking at nei- 1978, when I visited New Orleans for Mardi Gras, that I ther a man nor a woman but at the essence of a human came face to face with the opportunity to explore gender being; right then, I decided that I must have this person identity issues through personal experience.

  • Transgender, and Queer History Is a Publication of the National Park Foundation and the National Park Service
    Published online 2016 www.nps.gov/subjects/tellingallamericansstories/lgbtqthemestudy.htm LGBTQ America: A Theme Study of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer History is a publication of the National Park Foundation and the National Park Service.

The views and conclusions contained in the essays are those of the authors and should not be interpreted as representing the opinions or policies of the U.S. Government.

INCLUSIVE STORIES Although scholars of LGBTQ history have generally been inclusive of women, the working classes, and gender-nonconforming people, the narrative that is found in mainstream media and that many people think of when they think of LGBTQ history is overwhelmingly white, middle-class, male, and has been focused on urban communities. While these are important histories, they do not present a full picture of LGBTQ history. To include other communities, we asked the authors to look beyond the more well-known stories. Inclusion within each chapter, however, isn’t enough to describe the geographic, economic, legal, and other cultural factors that shaped these diverse histories. Therefore, we commissioned chapters providing broad historical contexts for two spirit, transgender, Latino/a, African American Pacific Islander, and bisexual communities.

Its purpose was to share with an interested public some new thoughts and directions on the subject of crossdressing, gender and sexuality. We hope that its publication will give the reader new insight and understanding about a misunderstood set of behaviors. To the Unitarian-Universalist Church of Provincetown, its minister and congregation we acknowledge thanks for allowing the Symposium to be held in their hallowed hall. To Ms. Denise Reinecke, our thanks for superb technical assistance, without which transcription of this event could not have occurred. To Sally Casper and John Caston, our deep gratitude for transcribing and typing the Symposium. --Ariadne Kane Coordinator, Fantasia Fair 1976 Published by the Outreach Foundation, 102 Charles St. Suite 433, Boston MA 02114 DEVIANCY -- ABNORMALITY Nancy Ledins A few minutes before we began, Ariadne asked me if I had ever lec­ tured on the subject of cross-dressing before. It suddenly dawned on me that, after hundreds of lectures and speaking engagements in my other role, this was to be the very first time speaking before the public both dressed in this fashion and on this subject. Need­ less to say, I have never been more nervous! First, allow me to introduce myself in two ways: my name is Nancy and, by profession, I am a psychologist.

  • Androgyny & Crossdressing Behaviors,A New Look
    - ' .i HE HUMAN OUTREACH AND ACHIEVEMENT INSTITUTE KENMORE STATION, BOX 368 BOSTON. MA 02215 PAPER PRESENTATION AT NATIONAL AASECT MTG . MARCH L982 ANDROGYNY & CROSSDRESSING BEHAVIORS,A NEW LOOK BY A. KANE & B. LIND ABSTRACT Traditionally, crossdressing behaviors and their motivational roots have been considered by sex educators and therapists to be psychiatric disturbances. Case studies found in the literature and their conclusions, based on small samples , are not valid or applicable for many who are active crossdressers . Our study on over 600 crossdressers,whose sex role preference is stated as heterosexual,from both rural and urban centers throughout the U.S.A. indicate that a) many are expressing a gender role preference that is dependent on appropriately receptive environments and times. b) a definite cycle of crossdressing behavior exists within the life pattern of a person c) certain patterns of crossdressing behavior are indeed androgynic and need viable enviornments for full expression. This paper will present evidence to support our thesis . (This paper is currently being reviewed for publication in a major journal in human sexuality. No portion of it may be reproduced or quoted in other publications without written permission from the authors) . INTRODUCTION The occurence of crossdressing can be traced back to the beginning of recorded history. The identification of crossdressing as a deviant activity is relative. Different societies define crossdressing as negative or positive. The significance of crossdressing varies according to society, time, place, and circumstances. There is nothing inherently deviant about crossdressing. It is not universally defined as deviant in all cultures under all conditions.l The androgyne is a person who is the embodiment of the principal of whole­ ness of self.

Our books engage theory without losing touch with history and work historically without falling into uncritical positivism. FlashPoints aims for a broad audience within the humanities and the social sciences concerned with moments of cultural emergence and transformation. In a Benjaminian mode, FlashPoints is interested in how liter- ature contributes to forming new constellations of culture and history and in how such formations function critically and politically in the present.
