12:12	Question of the Week. " I'm a young College student transie. I'm in the closet or "stealth" as it is more commonly referred to. Some other internet transies whom I don't know are being really mean and are outing me to my friends! They made a webpage outing me and wrote on several bulletin boards over the internet where many of my real life friends post. I already had to discontinue contact with a lot of my friends and drop out of a sport I like because my privacy is important to me and this is not something I want them knowing (if not for my own safety, then for social reasons). I don't know these people and they only know of me through hearsay. The reason they do this is two fold: First, they don't like my views of "stealthism". Secondly, they think I'm really prejudiced... against other transies. (I'm not by the way.) They feel I don't have a right to remain stealth. Is there anything I can do other than hope no one reads their pages? I definitely don't want to draw more attention to this if at all possible. " (from: Anonymous)

38:29	Transgenderism has often been brought to focus in the world on film, sometimes with flattering portraits, other times with fearsome depictions. In a wide-ranging conversation, we review many of the more noteworthy trans representations in film over the past few decades with John DeVito, who will be co-teaching a course on "Transgender Cinema" at the Cambridge Center for Adult Education. John is a film scholar and illustrator.

Napewastewin is a Native American transactivist who has a Ph.D in psychology and anthropology. She lived for years in northern Europe where she had a clinical practice providing therapeutic services to transpersons.
