Disney TV Studios, FX Celebrate Pride with 'Pose-A-Thon' Disney TV Studios, FX Celebrate Pride with 'Pose-A-Thon' 06.18.2020 The cast and crew of FX's Pose are coming together on Friday, June 26 to celebrate Pride with a one-hour special event: "Pose-A-Thon." Hosted by stars Billy Porter and MJ Rodriguez, the special will encourage viewers to support LGBTQ+-oriented organizations. "I'm so proud of our cast and producers for coming together to present an uplifting hour of song and stories," said Steven Canals, Pose co-creator, executive producer, writer and director in a statement. "In the spirit of Pose, our goal is to celebrate joy, love and, of course, pride, from our family to yours." "Since we've been unable to shoot the show we love, we jumped at the chance to reunite our Pose family and partner with the studio and network to raise spirits and awareness about the plight of LGBTQ+ people of color during such a turbulent time," said Janet Mock, executive producer, writer and director, also in a statement. "This Pride month special is a commemoration of our forebears' efforts, a memorial for trans lives lost, and a celebration of the life-saving work of LGBTQ+ organizations." "Pose-A-Thon" will unite the voices behind FX's ballroom-inspired drama Pose, featuring music and anecdotes from Porter, Rodriguez, Angel Bismark Curiel, Sandra Bernhard, Dyllón Burnside, Steven Canals, Dominique Jackson, Jeremy McClain, Janet Mock, Indya Moore, Our Lady J, Jason Rodriguez, Angelica Ross, Hailie Sahar, Ryan Jamaal Swain, Charlayne Woodard, and Patti LuPone. Pose supervising producer Tanase Popa is producing. As part of the event, viewers will be encouraged to support charitable LGBTQ+ organizations and three in particular: GLSEN, Hetrick-Martin Institute, and Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund. GLSEN envisions a world in which children learn to respect and accept all people, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Each year, GLSEN programs and resources reach millions of students and educators in K-12 schools, via action at national, state and local levels. Over three decades of work, GLSEN has improved conditions for LGBTQ+ students across the United States and launched an international movement to address LGBTQ+ issues in education and promote respect for all in schools. Hetrick-Martin Institute (HMI) believes all young people, regardless of sexual orientation or identity, deserve a safe and supportive environment to achieve their full potential. The organization offers basic and emergency support, mental health counseling, job-readiness training and arts and culture programming for thousands of LGBTQ+ young people and their families living in the New York and New Jersey metropolitan area. HMI also partners with House Lives Matter, a home-grown peer leadership and advocacy project that promotes wellness, quality of life, rights and resiliency among youth and adults in the House Ball Community and mobilizes members from different Houses and regions across the U.S. around a shared agenda of advocacy. Transgender Legal Defense & Education Fund is committed to ending discrimination based on gender identity and expression and to achieving equality for transgender people, particularly those most pushed to the margins. The organization is leading the charge on a number of fronts with cutting-edge litigation to advance legal precedent, life-changing legal services, and critical initiatives such as the Trans Health Project, all with the intention of transforming the legal landscape and protect the rights of transgender and non-binary people across the country. Viewers can visit www.poseathon.com to learn more about each organization and ways to get involved starting Monday, June 22...

  • Biographies of Janet Mock and Miss Major, Black Trans Women
    Whalen Symposium Abstract – Award Consideration John Jacobson, Women’s and Gender Studies Word Count: 694, excluding title and bibliography #GirlsLikeUs: The Development of Femme Identities in the (Auto)biographies of Janet MoCk and Miss Major, BlaCk Trans Women Understanding the subjectivities oF black transgender women lies at the intersection oF multiple academic Fields. Revolutionaries such as Judith Butler, bell hooks and Kate Bornstein have all contributed to discourse surrounding transgender women oF color. To understand and humanize the subjectivities oF these women, there must be an interaction of gender theory, queer theory, queer of color critique, and black Feminism. Trans women oF color are routinely in the margins oF academic spaces because their lives are interactions of unique oppressed identities. This presentation puts the (auto)biographical lives and works (a memoir and documentary, respectively) oF two black trans women in context: Janet Mock, a young activist, author, and media maker, and Miss Major, an elderly activist whose liFe has spanned From Attica to Stonewall and beyond (Licona). It centers their stories through the black Feminist concept of “a healthy love for ourselves, our sisters and our community which allows us to continue our struggle and work” (Combahee River Collective). Through these methods oF black Feminist love, we can observe the ways Mock and Major have developed black trans Femme identities and how those identities are revolutionary. Mock and Major both establish self-love through their modes oF unique gender expression, the way they “become” women in the way that Simone de Beauvoir theorized through personal growth and gender expression. Their living oF this theory allows the idea oF womanhood, or Femme-central identity, to be a “process, a becoming, a constructing that cannot be rightfully said to originate or end” (Butler).

  • Ballrooms, Voguing, Houses
    ANALYSE FPS - 2020 Ballrooms, Voguing, Houses : un bout de culture queer Ballrooms, Voguing, Houses : un bout de culture queer – FPS 2020 Eléonore Stultjens Secrétariat général des FPS Chargée d’études [email protected] Photo de couverture : POSE de BBC/FX Éditrice responsable : Noémie Van Erps, Place St-Jean, 1-2, 1000 Bruxelles. Tel : 02/515.04.01 2 Ballrooms, Voguing, Houses : un bout de culture queer – FPS 2020 Introduction Aujourd’hui être transgenre implique encore une multitude d’obstacles, que ce soit en Belgique ou ailleurs dans le monde1. Ceux-ci peuvent prendre des formes diverses : discrimination à l’emploi, comportements haineux, violences ou encore stigmatisation dans le secteur de la santé2. En tant que mouvement féministe, progressiste et de gauche nous prônons l’égalité dans le respect des identités de genre de chacun·e. Afin d’apporter une pierre à cet édifice de l’inclusion, nous souhaitons visibiliser dans cette analyse la culture spécifique des ballrooms, espaces d’émancipation et de pouvoir. Par ce biais, nous voulons également mettre en lumière les combats des personnes transgenres. Au travers d’une description de la culture des ballrooms dans le contexte étasunien, nous aborderons la problématique de l’appropriation culturelle de la danse voguing. Nous verrons que ce phénomène d’appropriation à des fins commerciales efface les discriminations plurielles et intersectionnelles subies par les communautés latino-noire transgenres et, en même temps, nie complètement les privilèges des américain·e·s blanc·he·s cisgenres. Ensuite, nous ferons un arrêt historique sur les luttes LGBTQIA+ et le combat contre le VIH pour appréhender la façon dont les luttes transgenres sont perçues au sein d’un mouvement plus large, entre des dynamiques d’inclusion et d’exclusion.

The instructor and students discussed their viewing of televised interviews featuring transgender individuals and participated in a gallery walk and a role-playing activity.

Amanda’s research interests include counselor training and multicultural competence. Abstract Persons who are transgender are underrepresented in counselor education curriculum and programming. As a community that reports higher rates of discrimination, harassment, stereotyping, and systematic oppression, it is imperative that counselors are able to provide competent and ethical services to this neglected population. This manuscript reviews the current literature regarding persons who are transgender and addresses ally development in counselor education. Recommendations for counselor educators and allies are included. In February 2014, Janet Mock, a transgender woman of color, as well as a writer and activist, appeared on the Piers Morgan show. After the interview, Mock criticized Piers for consistently referring to her as formerly a man and exaggerating her identity as a person who is transgender (Nichols, 2014).
