GenderTalk

A new musical project aims to promote awareness of transgender issues while raising money to help in the struggle for rights and respect. Brenna Paige, is the co-founder of the Trans-fusion project, which aims to bring together the music of trans musicians of professional caliber to create a work of art that will work for the benefit of the trans commuinity.

While many transgender persons dream of publishing their autobiography, and some manage to do so, occasionally we encounter someone who dances to a very different drummer. Our guest Linda Phillips was born male but has lived with her wife as a woman for many years. She chose to write her first book not about her crossliving experience, but rather about something of an even more unusual nature: a life of trading in used car parts.

Linda is a longtime trans activist and author, who, with wife Cynthia, hosted the Texas T Party, during the 1990s one of the most popular crossdressing events anywhere. She is a frequent lecturer on college campuses, and has made many media appearances promoting healthy acceptance of crossdressing and transgenderism. Her new book is titled From the Rear View Mirror: The inside story of the Antique Cars and Parts Business.
