Travelling through the heartland of America and into the Canadian North, Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond looks at how the myth of “the Injun” has influenced the world’s understanding – and misunderstanding – of Natives. With clips from hundreds of classic and recent films, and candid interviews with celebrated Native and non-Native directors, writers, actors, and activists including Clint Eastwood, Robbie Robertson, Graham Greene, Adam Beach, and Zacharias Kunuk, Reel Injun traces the evolution of cinema’s depiction of Native people from the silent film era to present day.

  • Transgender Author, Activist Chaz Bono Speaks Out
    Tulane University Transgender author, activist Chaz Bono speaks out April 19, 2013 10:00 AM Carol Schlueter [email protected] It's an exciting time in history for trans-identified people, whose voices are just beginning to be heard, says Red Tremmel, director of the Office for Gender and Sexual Diversity at Tulane. A campus audience will hear about celebrity Chaz Bono's experience as a transgender man when Bono appears in McAlister Auditorium on Monday (April 22) at 7 p.m. Transgender activist and author Chaz Bono will speak on the Tulane uptown campus on Monday (April 22). (Photo from Chaz Bono) Tulane University Campus Programming, a student-run organization, is presenting “An Evening with Author and Activist Chaz Bono.” The only child of entertainers Sonny and Cher, Bono identifies as a transgender man and has taken the name Chaz Bono. His most recent book was the 2011 bestseller Transition: Becoming Who I Was Always Meant to Be. His transition also was detailed in the documentary film Becoming Chaz that debuted in 2011 on the OWN Network. It was nominated for three Emmy Awards. Tremmel is pleased that increasing numbers of trans-identified people are sharing their perspectives. “Though gender diversity has long been part of the social fabric of the United States, it has often remained quite invisible,” Tremmel says. National data, he adds, has shown that LGBTQ youth of color are disproportionately targeted by law enforcement, more likely to be arrested and report being frequently profiled and treated unfairly by the police and other officials. “This is a pressing issue," he says.

  • We Are New Hampshire
    WE ARE NEW HAMPSHIRE Transgender Lives in the Granite State any people have a vague sense of what it means to be M transgender. Perhaps they recently saw Chaz Bono perform on Transgender Lives in the Granite State Dancing with the Stars, or they remember Christine Jorgensen. But transgender people come from all backgrounds, and no individual can convey the full diversity of the transgender community—either here in New Hampshire or across the country. This book is meant to capture some of the many stories of transgender individuals and their loved ones living in New Hampshire. You will meet people like Megan, who overcame tremendous odds to become the person she is today; Drew, who is a happier person after coming to terms with his transgender identity; and Muriel, a mom who just wants her transgender son to be loved. As you read these stories, one of the themes that emerges is the seriousness with which people have made the difficult decision to transition from their birth gender and live in their affirmed gender. Given the extreme, disproportionate discrimination and violence transgender people face, and the lack of legal protections in most of the country—including New Hampshire—in employment, housing, and public accommodations, the decision to change genders is not one any individual takes lightly. In fact, pervasive discrimination makes transgender individuals much more likely to fall into poverty than the general population, despite higher levels of education. At the same time, many of these stories make clear that when given the same opportunities to work, live and participate in society, transgender individuals are capable of extraordinary success and contribution to society.

  • 11 Ways to Be a Great Trans* Ally
    11 Ways To Be A Great Trans* Ally bustle.com/articles/76762-11-ways-to-be-a-trans-ally-according-to-transgender-people-themselves News Christopher Polk/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images By JR Thorpe April 24, 2015 It's 2015, and transgender people are finally in the showbiz and political spotlight. Laverne Cox of Orange Is The New Black is winning acting and activism awards left and right and proudly posing naked, and Poland's 2015 presidential race will have its first transgender candidate, Anna Grodska. But, as always seems to be the case when transgender people get into the news, there are also deeply tragic stories: transgender 17-year-old Leela Alcorn's suicide in 2014, and the murder of at least seven transgender women in the U.S. in 2015 alone. As transgender people become more visible, so do their struggles — and, hopefully, the amount of straight people wanting to become trans allies grows. So what is a trans ally? An ally in general, if you take the definition of UC Berkeley's Gender Equity Unit, is "someone who advocates for and supports members of a community other than their own; reaching across differences to achieve mutual goals." Transgender allies are non-trans people whose support is focussed on the trans community (though it doesn't have to be only that; there's room for you to be an ally for other causes too!). With tips drawn from transgender people themselves, organizations like GLAAD and Straight For Equality, and transgender associations across American college campuses, here is your definitive starting guide to beginning a journey as a transgender ally.

Barry: Disabilityqueer: Federal Disability Rights Protection for Transgender People Disabilityqueer: Federal Disability Rights Protection for Transgender People Kevin M. Barry* The Americans with DisabilitiesAct (ADA) does not protect everyone. It notably excludes people with Gender Identity Disorder (GID), an impair- ment involving the misalignment between one's anatomy and gender identity. Many would say this is as it should be - gender nonconforming people are not impaired and so they should not be covered by disability law. But this argument misapprehends the reason that GID was excluded from the ADA in the first place. GID was excluded from the ADA because, in 1989, a small handful of senators believed that gender nonconformity - like pedophilia, pyromania, and kleptomania -was morally harmful to the community.

  • Media and Gender: How Has the Story of Chaz Bono Impacted Mediaâ•Žs
    Running Head: TRANSGENDER MEDIA PORTRAYAL 1 Media and gender: How has the story of Chaz Bono impacted media’s portrayal of transgender people? Scott A. Eldredge Iveta Imre University of Tennessee College of Communication & Information TRANSGENDER MEDIA PORTRAYAL 2 Abstract The coverage of transgender issues in serious media is relatively new and has been on the rise. In fact, the amount of stories covering this issue on the major networks and cable news programs in the United States nearly doubled in 2007 compared to 2006 (Hollar, 2007). Despite the fact that this topic is becoming less taboo, and is more frequently treated as socially and politically important, the coverage has still been predominately sensationalistic. For example, the controversy surrounding the pregnancy of a transgender male, Thomas Beatie, in 2008 was headline news for months, while the first-ever congressional hearing on transgender issues and the beating of a transgender woman in Memphis were barely mentioned (Kalter, 2008). In addition, research has shown that the coverage of transgender issues has been at times highly offensive. The mainstream media tends to publish stories that feature transgender people involved in crime or scandal. Some news outlets, such as The New York Post and New York Daily News often feature headlines that refer to transgender people with sensational and dehumanizing terms such as “trannies,” “he-turned-she,” or “transvestite hooker” (Hollar, 2007). Furthermore, the coverage of transgender issues tends to focus on anatomy. The media most often want to describe, define, and explain transgender people, instead of talking about the systematic discrimination they face on a daily basis or their political struggles and victories.

While these celebrity representations have served to increase visibility for the trans community throughout the United States over the past decade, trans representation remains limited in terms of intersectionality and a narrow focus on celebrity stories and themes of essentialization, dysphoria, and medical transition.

CHAPTER SIX The Pleasure Principle CHAPTER SEVEN Here There Be Dragons ACKNOWLEDGMENTS NOTES BIBLIOGRAPHY INDEX 4 INTRODUCTION Sexual Disorientation Every time I go to the doctor, I end up questioning my sexual orientation. On some of its forms, the clinic I visit includes five little boxes, a small matter of demographic bookkeeping. Next to the boxes are the options “gay,” “lesbian,” “bisexual,” “transgender,” or “heterosexual.” You’re supposed to check one. You might not think this would pose a difficulty. I am a fairly garden-variety female human being, after all, and I am in a long-term monogamous relationship, well into our second decade together, with someone who has male genitalia. But does this make us, or our relationship, straight? This turns out to be a good question, because there is more to my relationship—and much, much more to heterosexuality—than easily meets the eye. There’s biology, for one thing. My partner was diagnosed male at birth because he was born with, and indeed still has, a fully functioning penis. But, as the ancient Romans used to say, barba non facit philosophum—a beard does not make one a philosopher. Neither does having a genital outie necessarily make one male. Indeed, of the two sex chromosomes—XY—which would be found in the genes of a typical male, and XX, which is the hallmark of the genetically typical female—my partner’s DNA has all three: XXY, a pattern that is simultaneously male, female, and neither.
