Peter & Shirley Oiler, on the aftermath of his firing by Winn-Dixie and the court judgement against him.

Jim Potter, author of "The 11 Myths of Media Violence," on the effects of violence in the media and what we can do about it.

" It's a dangerous formula that we're following. It's not just the amount of violence, it's the way it's portrayed that's dangerous, and most social scientists see that pretty clearly. "
- Jim Potter

13:50 Question of the Week
" Why is it that, you need a psychotherapist in order to get hormones, if there's nothing wrong with you mentally then why see a psychotherapist. If you had deformed genitals you wouldn't need to! So why do I need to see a psychotherapist to tell me what I already know about myself. Why is it that I need someone else to tell me it's ok to modify my body to be congruent with my mind? "
(from: Mara)

A judge has ruled that an employer has the right to fire an employee for the simple fact that they crossdress OFF the job. The ruling is a setback not just for crossdressers everywhere, but also for the couple who went public to protect his dignity and right to work. Peter & Shirley Oiler talk about some of the pain they've suffered, and why they will not appeal the ruling.
