14:11 Question of the Week
" Unlike most crossdressers, I WAS FORCED into dresses and sometimes diapers as discipline up until age ten. These events caused fetishes for these items and as I passed middle age, I became sexually dependent on being humiliated as in my youth. For ten years now, I have not desired or had sex with my wife and counseling has not helped. I feel guilty for robbing her of a NORMAL sex life but don't know what to do. Is there any help for this problem? "
(from: Cindy Marie, Memphis, TN)

36:50 According to University of Texas at Tyler school officials, over 30 years of industry experience and a commitment to teaching matter a lot less than the fixity of one's gender. At least, this is one conclusion that can be drawn from the firing of our guest, Janet Barger, because of her gender transition. Join us to hear her story, up close and personal.
