Question of the Week
" I am a 50 year old (living as male) but transgendered person. I have been a cross dresser since early childhood and have always had strong feminine feelings. For about two years I took female hormones and I have some development (40B). However, I have no plans to transition as it just does not seem practical for my circumstances. My happiest and most successful relationship was with a lesbian. We were close friends for 16 years and lived together in a platonic relationship for 12 years, until she died in an auto accident in April of 1999. A year and a half ago I was married to a woman who I thought had accepted me. But, even though I had told her of myself before we even dated, she apparently thought that once we were married she would change me into her definition of a standard male. Now we are near the end of a bitter (at least on her side) divorce. Sex is somewhat important to me, but companionship is absolutely indispensable. I want and need someone to be a friend. How do I find a woman to share life with? "

In Cambridge, Massachusetts, ambitious city developers want to eradicate the nesting ground of a flock of wild geese in favor of pristine grass and flowers. Our guest, Bob La Trémouile, is doing everything in his power to protect these feathered residents, who have been subjected to repeated violence in an attempt to drive them away.
Bob is co-chair of "Friends of the White Geese" and has 25-30 years experience doing environmental protection work in Cambridge.

As many Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, those whose forbears were here before the pilgrims remember something different. Moonanum James, co-leader of United American Indians of New England, speaks on the true history of Thanksgiving and the bloody events of the early days of our country, and ongoing efforts to oppose injustices.
Moonanum is one of the organizers of the annual Day of Mourning event on "Thanksgiving Day" in Plymouth, Massachusetts each year.
