Question of the Week
Question: "Why has the "transgender" movement taken the word Gender as a social issue, when half of Gender is the physical aspect-- The Body. Because of endocrine health problems many people are "straight" gender socially, but are variant gender physical. I do not think your show as really addressed this. My connection with this is a severe lifelong case of gynecomastia with none fatty material. Also there are quite a number of men with my condition who are Gay, Bi, or crossdressers. " (from: William) Question: "My face looks just as soft and passive it could possibly look some days and hard and aggressive other days. Does testosterone play a role in this? How? " (from: Stacey Garrison) |

Samuel Delaney, author of "Dhalgren", an apocalyptic tale which received rave reviews on its release in 1975, which went on to become one of the bestselling science fiction novels of all time, and which is being reissued today. He has received two Hugo and four Nebula awards for his Science Fiction writing, which presents groundbreakingly diverse gender, sexual and racial imagery. Delaney is well known as the first 'out' gay African American science fiction writer, and we spoke with him about diversity themes in his work and in the world of science fiction. Delaney currently teaches creative writing at Temple University.
