 Some musicians transcend label and category, creating art which stands strong and proud on its own merit. Georgie Jessup is such an artist. Listen with us to her music, and to what Georgie has to say about her art, apirituality, the two-spirit tradition and transgenderism. 
Georgie is a two-time WAMMIE (Washington Area Music Association/WAMA) nominated singer songwriter. She is currently working on two cd projects to be released late 2002/2003, titled "Red Cloud's Room" and "Woman in a Man's Suit."

 Loss of employment is an all too common result for those few souls who dare to change their social gender on the job. The last time we spoke with trans activist Virginia Stephenson she was pleased with how things were going. This time, though, things have changed. Despite an outstanding work record in a management position, she now faces the loss of her job for reasons her employer refuses to disclose.
Virginia, who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, has been a guest on GenderTalk several times, talking about her political activism, spirituality, sexuality and her personal gender transition. She works in a "stereotypical conservative business, electrical wholesaling to contractors," and completed her transition to presenting as a woman some months ago.
Virginia also updates us on on the ongoing work in New Mexico to secure non-discrimination protections for GLBT persons both statewide and in Albuquerque.
