Question of the Week
" I've slowly been coming out, and had mostly good reactions; and I'm getting ever more comfortable with myself. The only place I'm still having problems with being accepted is my family. I love my family dearly but after almost four years I continue to feel only more uncomfortable and more unaccepted around my family, former Jehovah's Witnesses. I don't want to lose my family but I've taken so long to accept myself, and surround myself with other supportive people. Any advice on how to handle a family that continues to be more unaccepting despite one's best attempts? " (from: Katie) |

A change of gender involves much more than just changes to a person's appearance and behavior. Looking beyond these surface elements, Donna Rose discusses some of the more universally human elements of a gender transition, as revealed in her new memoir, "Wrapped in Blue: a Journey of Discovery." A former world class college athlete, Donna has become a noted speaker, educator and advocate for transgender and diversity issues.

Domestic violence continues to plague our society, as our guest Molly Hurley Moran sadly testifies. She lost her sister to a murder which authorities have never been able to prosecute, but which Molly says was surely committed by her sister's husband. An associate professor of writing and author of a number of books and articles, Molly has written a book about her sister's story entitled "Finding Susan".
October is Domestic Violence Awareness month.
