Published by DHF Press Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA DEDICATION To the hundreds of counseling clients I’ve been working with since opening my private practice in 2008. Yours are the faces and stories that inspire me to continue forward on my mission: to support and guide those who are transgender and gender non-conforming, and to educate and enlighten those who are not. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As long as I can remember I have been a “solo artist,” working alone to guarantee complete and total control over everything that I create. Thankfully the process of writing this book has taught (and continues to teach) me to get my head out of my arse and learn to embrace the help of others. As I slowly but surely turned to others for guidance, insight, creative contributions, and encouragement I realized what a beautiful experience it can be to create something as a part of a team instead of all by my stubborn lonesome self. Endless appreciation goes to “Mama’s Girl” and Amber Goodenough for being a part of this endeavor from beginning to end. I am honored and humbled by the incredible introductions written by Zinnia Jones, Sam Dylan Finch, and Zander Keig. Much gratitude as well to my beta readers: Rena V., Dr. Traci Lowenthal, Aimee Martz Dick, MA, LPC, Dan Johnson, PhD, Lauren Skar, MA, Sam Dylan Finch, Billie Winterholer, Darlene Tando, LCSW, and Dr. Jennie Thomas. Thanks to Mike King and Jean Mangahas for their graphic design talents, as well as Lori Szolwinski and Raen Randolph for their creative contributions. Additional thanks go to Robin McPeek, Jason Doedderlein, Janet Pasewark-Duncan, Brannen Clark, Leah Love, Megan Brubaker, Ashlynn Case, and Kate Siegel. My dad, author and publisher Barry Hoffman is a crucial part of my team as well (not to mention the fact that he passed on to me the writer/educator genes). It’s been a fun bonding experience for us and I look forward to working together in the future. I have gained invaluable advice from podcasts (offered for free by their creators) about self- publishing, running an online business, connecting with one’s audience, and so much more. I’d like to thank them now for their guidance and inspiration: “Smart Passive Income,” “The Tim Ferriss Show,” “Shrink Wrap Radio,” “Selling the Couch,” “Internet Business Mastery,” “The Fizzle Show,” and “Transition Transmission.” These podcasts keep me much-needed company on my two-hour- long commutes to and from work and help to make this drive one of my favorite parts of the day. Thank you to my favorite coffeehouses in Colorado Springs, Colorado who have put up with me spending hours upon hours taking up space in their establishments as I worked on this book: Rico’s Café & Wine Bar, The Wild Goose Meeting House, Over Easy: A Daytime Eatery, The Principal’s Office, The Perk Downtown, and The Coffee Exchange. Thanks are also in order for Seeds Community Café, where I hosted my book launch party. Also a blanket “shout out” to the mental health professionals who I have befriended through various Facebook groups over the past year for their support and advice. To Kate Bornstein, whose publication My Gender Workbook (1997) was groundbreaking in its approach to gender and gender identity. I am humbled to attempt to follow in your footsteps with this book, Kate! To my wife Lauren—your belief in me has played one of the biggest parts in me discovering and pursuing this life purpose of mine. Thank you for riding out the ups and downs of this crazy year with me and a half and not letting me give up on this incredibly intense project. You epitomize the definition of “life partner” and I am so grateful we found one another. To my daughter Tyler and my stepdaughter Catalina—you are both impressing me so much by how much you stand up for those who are LGBTQ in your schools, your peer groups, and our society. Keep looking for opportunities to teach others! You are the future of our country, and I am tremendously excited to see what that future will bring. To my mom, my brother David, and my sister Cheryl for their continued curiosity and openness about what it is that I do as a gender therapist, educator and advocate. To Joan Hood, Julie Norris, Emily Carney, Twyla Gabbard, Rhonda Strouse, Dr. Alan DeSantis, Dr. Terry Jones, Dr. Dennis Duffin, Dr. Cathy Calvert, Matt Kailey, Ryan Acker, and Peggy Heart— teachers and mentors who all played an instrumental part in me becoming who I am today as a gender therapist, writer and educator. To my Grandma and Grandpa Hoffman and my Grandpa Toman—wish you could be here to see that I wrote a book. To Andy and Marla Hoffman, Dee and Charles Travella, and Bruce Redline— glad you are indeed here to see it! To my long-time friends Alison Andrews, Donna Schied, Kirsten Jons, Erika Frost, Brenda Gray, Nathan Graham, and Shannon Miller for playing integral parts in my own self-discovery journey over the years. To Will Hanson, my family’s “house-helper” and pet-care provider you are such a blessing! Thank you for providing me with the time, space, and peace of mind to be able to give this book the tremendous amount of attention it has asked of me over the past year and a half. To the hundreds of teens and adults who learn about my work through the magic of the internet—it is because of your feedback, questions, and insight that I am able to answer the all-important question, “How can I help?” This book is a direct result of the communication that exists between you and I. Thank you for trusting me. Your refusal to give up in your search for your answers is my inspiration to continue doing what I do.

    Liturgical Responses to a Pandemic Crafting Comfort for Those We Serve Collected by Rabbi Shira Stern, D.Min, BCC [email protected] A.Traditional Liturgy Reframed: 1. Hashkiveinu during the Pandemic by Rav Jeffrey Astrachan This evening, we join with the rest of the world in praying for a quick and positive end to the crisis in which we find ourselves. We pray for those who are sick and dying, and for those tending to their care. We pray for their families, and for those who are most anxious about getting sick. We pray for leaders faced with making difficult choices with lasting consequences. We pray for students whose hopes for celebrating their accomplishments have been thwarted. We pray for all those in the work-force who have been – and who will be – directly impacted by the need for social-distancing. Tonight, I offer a prayer that comes to us from our liturgy, which we call “Hashkiveinu.” It is a nighttime prayer that asks God for protection and blessing. It seems fitting to offer these words tonight: Grant, O God, that we lie down in peace, and raise us up, our Guardian, to life renewed. Spread over us the shelter of Your peace. Guide us with Your good counsel; for Your Name’s sake, be our help. Shield and shelter us beneath the shadow of Your wings. Defend us against enemies, illness, war, famine and sorrow. Distance us from wrongdoing. For You, God, watch over us and deliver us. For You, God, are gracious and merciful. Guard our going and coming, to life and to peace evermore.

Yet we know little about the role that heroes play in the lives of adolescents – a period of human development when challenges are plentiful, and adolescents are increasingly open to the influence of others outside the family unit.

Houria Bouteldja’s bold and critical challenge to all of us—especially those who claim to be leftists or progressives—builds on the rich legacies of Malcolm X, Jean Genet, Aimé Césaire, Audre Lorde, James Baldwin, Frantz Fanon, and Chela Sandoval. This challenge consists of a powerful intellectual case against imperial innocence and a poignant cry of the heart for an indigenous revolutionary politics—a politics that is unapologetically anti-patriarchal, anti-capitalist, and anti-imperialist grounded in the doings and sufferings of colonized peoples.

Hello all — We have listeners all over, and some of them will be heading into the winter months, but where I am spring has finally shook off the claws of winter. But in the slice of science fiction fandom we all inhabit, spring is really notable for the return of Doctor Who to the airwaves, and thankfully for US fans, it is far closer to simultaneous transmission now that it has been the last few seasons. Physical distance matters less and less for communication, which in prac- tice means that it is incredibly annoying to be in the US and looking at a twitter stream full of UK tweets about what the Doctor’s been on about that week. Spoilers suck (sweetie). And speaking of the UK, we were very lucky and happy to run an interview with Lauren Beukes, who won this year’s Arthur C. Clarke award for her novel Zoo City.

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.
