16:22 Question of the Week

"Hi Gordene, Just wanted to ask you how you got your voice to sound so 100% female. At first I thought you were GG [genetic girl]! Myself, I have always thought that my voice always is a give-away or at the very least, a 'red flag'. If I could sound like you, my employment struggles would suddenly disappear. "
(From: Sandra)

40:10 One of the key issues in transitioning to the opposite gender is legal identification. Laws governing legal gender change vary widely, as does the experience of those seeking such change. Jarret Grace shares with us the saga of his quest for legal identity recognition, complicated by his British citizenship. His partner, Andrea Dawn Verville, also shares with us about their internet radio program, Live 365's "Transgressions".
